Chinese Shoppers Pay for Green Environment
As usual, I was waiting for a supermarket cashier to help me pack my goods but this time I was told I had to pay 1.2 Yuan (around $0.17) in addition
from now on if I asked for plastic shopping bags ($0.04 for each bag), which used to be offered for nothing by sellers. Cashing out, I looked around and found some penny–pinching or shrewd shoppers brought out their
own shopping bags and put the goods in after
paying their bills.
Previously I had
heard/read relevant news that China would ban free disposable plastic shopping bags but I had thought it would be just red tape or window dressing.
I had doubts about its real implementation. However, this time China is taking a serious step to tackle
an increasingly grim en
vironmental problem—
white trash.
Not suitable in this context. Has a particular meaning in the US >> white trash - Google Search. A better term to use is "non-biodegradable trash".
Early this year
the China State Council
forbad the production or selling of plastic shopping bags with
a thickness below 0.025mm
This was applied nationwide in China after June 1, 2008. And Chinese shoppers are encouraged to use other environment
ally friendly shopping bags instead, such as cloth bags.
According to Waste Plastics Recycling Committee of
the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, on average
the Chinese consume 0.1 billion of disposable plastic bags for food shopping daily; meanwhile another 0.2 billions pieces are applied for other usage
s everyday. The staggering figures show Chinese produce
humungous white trash and make the environment worse.
An online poll hosted by a Chinese website showed under the order more than 70 per cent Chinese will turn themselves from disposable plastic shoping bags to other durable ones.
Environment
al problems have taken their toll on China, and virtually every Chinese has paid
for them at a price.Though the new regulation brings a little inconvenience to Chinese shoppers, I believe green awareness will bit by bit
be instilled into every single Chinese mind and China's environment will gradually improve. I double thumb up for the China’s approach to curb environmental deterioration. China, go!
