Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed. China has banned (禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay to use them now. The rule has become effective from June 1st, 2008. They have done this because our country is trying to make less litter. Making super-thin (超薄的) plastic bags has also been banned.

The Chinese once used about billion plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused a lot of environment pollution. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them anywhere. So, now people are encouraged to bring their own bags shopping.

What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They made their own shopping bags. They used old clothes to make cloth bags, and gave them to their parents as presents. They asked their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes (牙刷), toothpaste (牙膏), shampoo and so

on. Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. However, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide people with these disposable things. They want people to use fewer disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. It’s a fact that one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of the waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000, 000 kg of plastic bags and 1,320,000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down (腐烂). So the less plastic we throw out, the better environment we have. Wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them.
