Can you get free plastic bags from supermarkets now? I'm afraid you can't. Things have changed. Our government is trying to make litter less, so free plastic bags can't be offered at shops and supermarkets in China now.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day. They are easy to break, and most of them can be used only once. And some people throw them away here and there. If they are burnt, they may cause bigger trouble. They may cause pollution for the environment. Also, they may cause illness for us. So people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping. Some students come up with a good idea. They make the shopping bags by themselves. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their responsibility to protect the environment.
