作文： At present, people are encouraged not to use plastic bags. Customers should pay extra money if they need a plastic bag while shopping. Plastic bags are one of the major pollutants.

They are even dangerous to wildlife as thousands of sea animals are killed each year when they eat or are choked by plastic bags. What’s more, “white pollution” creates a bad image for China.
