UN-invent Plastic Bags
If I could UN-invent something, it must be plastic bags.
Nowadays, our environment is becoming worse and worse, and one of the big pollutions comes from waste plastic bags. In lots of markets, people use plastic bags to serve customers, and customers bring their plastic bags home then lose them away. We all know that before the recycling plastic bags comes into our lives, there are billions of millions of un-recyclable plastic bags.They are now buried under the ground forever. They are not only damage the soil, but also pollute our environment. Furthermore, plastic bags are dangerous to children. I find that lots of the newspaper reported that every year there are some children die because they swallow plastic bags mistakenly.
On the other hand, plastic bags indeed benefit humans a lot. We cannot live without plastic bags now. In my country, government used to suggest citizens to use baskets for shopping, but failed in the end, for we have already been accustomed to using them and cannot come back.
In conclusion, if I could UN-invent something, I would choose plastic bags because without them, our environment will be better, and there would not be any accident like swallowing plastic bags.

ReplyDeleteYes, you have made a very good point! When you go to the market, do you bring your own bags? I see that more and more people are bringing their own shopping bags (i.e. Trader Joes) and not accepting the plastic bags.
