Answer 1

From June 1st, 2008, China will ban ultra-thin plastic bags from supermarkets and stores. Recently a survey has been conducted about our government forbidding the use of plastic shopping bags.

     70% of them are in favor of the ban. The reasons are as follows: Firstly, as many as 3 billion plastic bags are used every day in China, causing a severe waste of resources. Secondly, the ultra-thin plastic bags get easily broken and are left abandoned everywhere, ending up as litter. Worse still, the low rate of recycling results in the badly polluted environment.

     On the contrary, 30% of them are opposed to the ban. For one thing, it is inconvenient to the consumers if the supermarkets don’t supply plastic bags. For another, having to pay for plastic bags will put economic pressure on customers and add trouble to the management of supermarkets.

     As for me, I approve of the ban. The ban on plastic bags brings China in line with a growing international trend to cut plastic bag use. Besides, rubbish has been acknowledged as one of the country’s biggest environmental challenges and the ban on plastic bags is one of the solutions to the problem.
