I know that. But if you show up to an oil field and buy a barrel of oil, they're not going to give it to you in plastic bags.

Maybe they could use a plastic bag surrounded by a cardboard box, like the bulk cat litter at Menards.

They could tho? thinking face

Could petrol break down the plastic?

[reaperman]

Yes, crude oil / gasoline / diesel will break down polyethylene grocery bags.

[sgt]

Great, biodegradable bags. You could charge more.

[sgt]

Imagine the plastic waste and pollution! I think they should maybe consider hemp? That's an environmentally friendly option and it'll make a tremendous difference. /s

Selling you a single barrel of oil on a once off basis is _almost_ as absurd as expecting delivery in plastic bags.

Unless you're in Canada, where they sell everything in plastic bags, and a barrel of oil is a solid chunk of rock at room temperature.
