Why not develop paper doggy waste bags?
I was thinking that a better option would be to pick up doggy poop with a paper bag. Admitedly, that poses some problems: are bags sturdy enough to withstand the powerful forces of poop? Paper isn't as flexible, and has a tendency to tear. But could a poop bag be developed that is a little flexible, sturdy, maybe covered with wax (like those pastry bags at the grocery store). They would be only for the purposes of quickly picking up poop on the ground and disposing it in a receptacle on the street or in a dumpster within a matter of minutes. Would that be unsanitary or otherwise ill-advised? I know it may seem like a silly question, but I am serious - wouldn't a paper bag be a much better option?
Thanks for the guidance!

But what about doggy poop bags?
I'm just a conscientious dog owner who scoops up my dog's poop about 3 times a day . . . I'm not a scientist. And despite having read most of the posts here, I guess I'm looking for some basic answers as to what kind of poop litter bags I should buy. Should I buy the bags made out of high-density polyethylene foil, reportedly containing the organic raw materials carbon and water, advertised as OXO-BIODEGRADABLE, and costing about 3.7-4.7 cents per bag? Or should I buy the non-polyethylene bags made out of the raw material MaterBi (known as "BioBag", with a naturally compelling picture of an ear of corn on their packaging), advertised as 100% compostable and biodegradable, which will purportedly decompose within 40 days in a well-functioning composting environment, and costing about 16.4-17 cents per bag? I'm a city-dweller . . . so honestly, I don't know where my garbage goes, its just taken away, and I'd probably be horrified to see the place it lands . . . so I don't want to see it, but I do care about what I'm contributing to it. Can anyone tell me what's the best poop bags to buy??
