Thông tin đoạn 2: Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
Tạm dịch: Thỉnh thoảng, chính phủ ra lệnh cấm các chủ cửa hàng cung cấp túi nhựa cho khách hàng để thực hiện việc chứa đựng hàng hoá của họ, với ít hiệu quả lâu dài. Túi nhựa rất phổ biến với cả các nhà bán lẻ cũng như với người tiêu dùng bởi vì chúng rẻ, chắc, nhẹ, chức năng, cũng như các phương tiện vệ sinh để mang thực phẩm cũng như các hàng hóa khác. Khoảng một trăm tỷ túi ni-lông được sử dụng hàng năm chỉ riêng tại Hoa Kỳ. Và rồi, khi ta xem xét các nền kinh tế và dân số khổng lồ của Ấn Độ, Trung Quốc, châu Âu và các nơi khác trên thế giới, những con số có thể đáng kinh ngạc. Vấn đề càng trở nên trầm trọng hơn bởi các nước phát triển vận chuyển chất thải nhựa của họ đến các nước đang phát triển như Ấn Độ.
