caused by plastic, such as shopping bags, boxes and cups. In China about three billion plastic shopping
bags are used every day, which results in a great waste of resources(资源) and heavy environmental
pollution. Luckily, the government has stopped us from using free plastic bags, telling all stores and
supermarkets not to provide customers(顾客) with free plastic bags since June 1, 2008. From then
on, people have been supposed to use cloth bags and shopping baskets instead of plastic bags in order
to protect our environment.
Now more and more people have realized the importance of using the cloth bags and the shopping
baskets. For one thing it can protect our environment, for another it can also make our country cleaner
and more beautiful. Yet we have more things to do to solve the problem of "white pollution"!

| You used to get free (免费) plastic bags when you shopped at the supermarkets, didn't you? But things have changed now. From June 1st this year, China has stopped its shops and supermarkets providing free plastic bags. Shoppers have to pay for bags if they need them. "We hope this ban (禁令) will encourage people to return to using cloth bags, or using baskets for their vegetables," said a notice from the Chinese government." Plastic bags have led to a big waste of energy and do harm(伤害) to our environment." The Chinese use about 3 billion plastic bags a day. Each year we use 5 million tons of oil to make the bags. The bags end up in landfills( 垃圾) or we have to burn them. Either way, they pollute the air, rivers and soil. It takes around 1, 000 years for the bags to break down. They are also dangerous to wildlife, which eats them without knowing. Now a large number of Chinese people have begun to make their own cloth bags, and use them when they go shopping. Do you have one? | |||||||
