   Tim Breneisen, recycling program manager for the Lancaster County Solid Waste Authority, concurred with the EPA's advice.
   
   While cloth bags are ideal, both paper and plastic can be sound choices if they meet a "green" fate, he said.
   
   "You don't have to feel guilty for taking a plastic bag, because you can recycle it or re-use it, and that's good," said Breneisen, who gets plastic bags himself at the supermarket.
