Since I'm just going to send my trash bags to the landfill I prefer that they are made from recycled plastic. They're only 65% recycled but that's more than any others I've found. The other "green" trash bags are "biodegradable", but only if exposed to enough air (which they're probably not at the landfill). I use these just like any other trash bags, for all my yuckiest garbage, and they perform just as well as other bags. The only drawback is that they don't have drawstrings but they do come with twist ties. I'll definitely buy them again!

I like the bags with the tabs (to tie together) but I will keep using these. There are no 'green' choices at my local grocers, and these bags work as well as a regular (not heavy duty) bag.
