a bag full of questions

This bag epitomises everything that I'm finding weird about the world at the moment. Here is an Indian newspaper recycled bag. Now i can understand the obvious rationale - poor people making bags out of newspaper. So you can feel good about feeding the poor without damaging the environment. But then i think to myself, 'are we really helping the world, what's the NET benefit? Am i really spreading an ecological message? How did this bag get here? What happens if the world suddenly upped its requirement? ' so many questions from one small bag.
