【正确答案】My View on Restricting Using Plastic Bags
Recently, to restrict using plastic bags, in some big cities, the government has banned all supermarkets, department stores and shops offering plastic bags for free, which have caused wide attention. Some people object to this measure. They say charging for plastic bags increase consumers' burden. The need for plastic bags will not become small in a short time, so it will not work really in improving the environment. However, I don't think so and I believe it is a wise measure to charge for plastic bags. My reasons can be listed as follows.
Firstly, charging for plastic bags will to some extent force people to reduce using plastic bags. More people will prefer to use paper or cloth bags, which will help reduce pollution and improve our environment. Secondly, this measure can help awaken the whole nation's consciousness to the importance of environmental protection. More people will realize how important their daily behaviors are to the improvement of our environment, and maybe beginning with not using plastic bags, they will do more things friendly to the environment.
From the foregoing, we can safely come to the conclusion that the ban on free plastic bags is a very good measure to reduce pollution. I suggest that the government should make more similar measures friendly to the environment.
