3.For most people,plastic bags are a necessity of any shopping trip.They might seem like an innocent way to carry groceries,but dealing with these bags can be harmful for the environment.It's reported that the world uses about 500 billion plastic bags each year and fewer than 3% are recycled.Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish,birds,and other animals.As a result,cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags.
This year,New York City was prepared to add a 5-cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in stores,but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked(反对) the tax.Cuomo said the tax idea was"deeply faulty"because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts.Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plastic-bag problem.By the end of the year,the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags,a tax on them,or something entirely new.
Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use.In Washington,D.C.,the charge is 5 cents per bag.Since the fee started there,the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%.Seattle,Washington,has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5cents for paper.Chicago,Illinois,will soon add a 7-cent tax on paper and plastic bags.
In New York,some politicians who thwarted,a tax say it puts,too much to tress on low-income citizens and working families.They argue that those people need the money to spend on food,not on bags.
