Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong．It is easy to reach．You can get there by sea．It is an interesting place with a long history．Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese．

Imagine going back to the 1980's when Chinese people shopped using cloth bags or baskets．Those past scenes may come back again．

The Chinese government made a new policy．All the supermarket and stores are asked to stop providing free plastic bags from June 1．It called for people to use baskets or cloth bags for shopping to protect the environment．

“It is very interesting．After over 20 years，we will use baskets again，” Mrs. Wang said．“It is a good policy，and we should support it．I plan to sew（缝制）some cloth bags for my family and remind them to use them when they go shopping．”

“Charging people for plastic bags may be a good way．It may make people realize the harm of plastic bags and the importance of protecting the environment．”

However，some people showed different opinions．“Plastic bags are convenient，and I am not used to buying things without them．” a 35-year-old taxi driver said．“Of course I do not want to pay money for plastic bags．”

A woman shopping for fish in a Beijing market wondered，“How can we carry wet things without plastic bags?”
