Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman from the UK. She was filming a documentary (纪录片) for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her ________: hundreds of dead birds. They died because they accidentally ate some of the ________ that is thrown into the sea each year. The beaches on the Pacific islands should have been some of the most ________ places in the world. But they were covered with plastic bottles, pens--every plastic thing you can think of. Because of this, the ________ were becoming dirtier and dirtier.

Plastic bags were used everywhere in Britain. Britain used nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the ________ can take hundreds of years to break down. Each year, the sea and the environment became more and more ________.

Rebecca decided she had to do something. In her hometown Modbury, she asked local shopkeepers if they could do something to help. She asked them to ________ using plastic bags in their shops.

To Rebecca’s surprise, the shopkeepers ________ and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free town in Britain.________, shoppers offered reusable bags. Other towns followed Mobury’s example and more________ around Britain, such as London, Cambridge are becoming plastic bag-free.

Now the “bag for life” is part of the national culture. And since October 2015, all shoppers must pay money for each plastic bag, no matter how much their spending is! It’s not enough, but it’s a start.
