How many plastic bags do you use every day? Is there any chance for us to live without them? What can we do to have less plastic pollution? A performance in Hangzhou makes people think more about the overuse of plastic bags in our lives.

  In front of a supermarket in Hangzhou,five volunteers wore white plastic bags and walked around and through the crowd.The performance called on people to use more cloth bags instead of plastic ones.

  Some of the plastic bags worn by the performers were collected from customers(顾客) in two food markets and the others were collected by 700 students from a secondary school.

  On that day,when leaving the food markets,customers were told to hand over unnecessary plastic shopping bags.Several hundred plastic bags were collected in two hours.

  "If we do nothing about it,the earth will be eaten up by white pollution.And humans will become 'plastic men'," said one of the performers.

  "How can you breathe in so many plastic bags?" A middle-aged woman asked one performer."How can the earth breathe if there are too many plastic bags?" the performer answered.

  Starting from June last year,plastic bags were no longer given for free in supermarkets,shopping malls or food markets all over the country.

  People are called on to use cloth bags when they go shopping.

Several weeks ago, more than 70 American students discussed with American First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House about health problems.

The students asked lots of questions that day and Mrs Obama answered them one by one patiently. Then Mrs Obama explained the importance of making healthy choices(选择) . The students were all eyes and ears as they listened.

She told the students that she didn’t always feel good about the choices her family was making. Some years ago, when she was working and living with her family in Chicago, Mrs Obama realized she had to make changes in her family’s lifestyle.

“We were eating out too much, buying a lot of things, and drinking a lot of sugary drinks,” she said. So Mrs Obama started talking to her kids about eating healthily and exercising more. Soon they were cooking more, eating fewer desserts, and spending less time watching TV. Mrs Obama realized that making little changes can have a big effect(效果)。

Mrs Obama said that young people should take care of their own health and their own futures. “Exercise isn’t always about sports. It’s just about moving,” she said.
