7、n waiting for your groceries to be packed into free plastic bags, you may be surprised if the cashier at the check-out tells you the bags are extra, and youd better believe it. Today, the pollution resulting from plastic bags has become a big threat to urban environment. Though daily use of free bag
8、s in supermarkets is tremendous in number, I dont think consumers paying for plastic bags can take effect in controlling pollution.To begin with, it is unfair that only consumers should shoulder the responsibility of environmental pollution caused by supermarket plastic bags, providing free plastic

Although supermarkets have to pay for the plastic bags, customers bring them far greater economic rewards in comparison to this minimal cost. From this point of view, it is the supermarkets that have gained the hidden profit
10、s through free plastic bags while consumers only get shopping conveniences they should have had.In addition, it is over-optimistic and a bit simple-minded to contend that charging for plastic shopping bags can help ease pollution problem. My own observation tells me that in most supermarkets plastic
11、 bags are offered by salespeople according to customers actual needs. Since the need for shopping bags does exist, charging for those bags is not so effective and it is impossible to resolve the current waste and pollution problems thoroughly. After all, with the improvement in peoples living standa
12、rds, it is unrealistic to expect people to bring their own shopping baskets to the supermarket. Moreover, many people usually go to the supermarket after work for convenience, how call they take what they need home without using the plastic shopping bags? Pollution is attributed to various causes an
13、d abolition of shopping bags merely addresses the very tip of the iceberg.In short, it is not a wise policy to charge shopping bags just on the ground that it is likely to become a pollutant.

17、ent. The daily use of free bags in supermarkets is tremendous in number. According to a recent report, Century mart and Hualian, the two major supermarkets in Shanghai, consume 720,000 and 300,000 such bags respectively every single day. Most of them are reused as containers for household waste, yet
18、 many are disposed of in a thoughtless manner. In order to alleviate pollution risks in this regard, some people suggest using degradable plastic bags instead of ordinary ones. But strictly speaking, Chinas current degradable technology is far from satisfactory. Charged bags cannot solve the problem
19、 once and for all, but it may help change consumers mentality over bags vs. pollution.From the economic perspective, this suggested solution has its own scientific basis. Peoples consumption habits of using plastic bags should take responsibility for environmental pollution to some extent. Consumers
20、 probably will feel inconvenient at first, but the change will allow them to contemplate over how to make use of plastic shopping bags more rationally. I am sure they will gradually get used to it. Given Chinas current production level, it is unrealistic to totally stop the manufacturing of plastic
21、bags or to utilize paper bags instead.
