Shopping Bags and the Environment
When you go to a supermarket or convenience store in Japan, the clerk will ask if you need a plastic bag. In the past, these bags were free, but now most shops charge a small fee for them. This change is part of a global effort to reduce plastic waste.
Plastic bags are very convenient, but they are bad for the environment. Many people use them only once and then throw them away. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to disappear in nature. Also, plastic bags often end up in the ocean, where they can hurt fish and sea turtles.
To help solve this problem, many people have started bringing their own "eco-bags" when they go shopping. These bags are made of cloth and can be used many times. By making this small change, we can all help to keep our planet clean.
