"Forbidden," we may learn German

Germany's shopping malls and supermarkets are equipped with large and small plastic bags for customers to choose from, but not free gifts but to charge, and the price is expensive, because consumers use plastic bags cause environmental pollution, must take a certain degree of governance cost.
On the anniversary of the “birthday” of the plastic bag, the European environmental protection organization specially launched the environmental product selection campaign. As a result, the plastic bag was rated as the worst invention of humans in the 20th century.
Although governments and environmental groups in various countries are calling for people to use less or no plastic bags, they smell like “stupid tofu” and “smell” because they make it easier for people to shop. But how many people know how many plastic bags are produced each year in the world? How many plastic bags are used by consumers? Undoubtedly, it is a very difficult astronomical statistic. UNESCO has a figurative metaphor: If you use plastic bags that people use every year on the surface of the Earth, it will be enough to put a few “white coats” on the earth.
People have deep “complexes” with plastic bags and are unwilling to abandon it. In the final analysis, the lack of environmental awareness is a very important reason. Many consumers believe that the plastic bag is a free gift. The government has not banned it. No need to spend money, and why can't people use me? I am green, others are not environmentally friendly. What is the significance of my larger sesame seed? It is because of the lack of environmental awareness that plastic bags can flourish and have a great market.
It is not enough to cure "white pollution" by merely advocating it. It requires public education and economic measures to be "a two-pronged approach." Many Western countries do this. Germany is a country advocating environmental protection. The recovery rate of plastic waste is as high as 40%. In 1991, Germany promulgated the "Regulations on Packaging", which clearly stipulates the "cost of pollution on the environment." The production and operators of packaging materials are required to be responsible for the recovery of wastes, and to fulfill the corresponding obligation to eliminate pollution, and the cost of cleaning can be passed on to the user in the selling price. According to this principle, Germany's shopping malls and supermarkets are provided with various kinds of plastic bags for customers to charge, because consumers use plastic bags to cause environmental pollution, so they have to bear certain governance costs. Nowadays, people in Germany buy vegetables or go shopping. Most of them use hand-bags or bamboo baskets, which greatly reduces the use of plastic bags.
The German experience is worth our study and reference. It has been a good habit for the Chinese people to buy baskets on street baskets. Now that people are lost, foreigners are allowed to pick them up. Do you not need to reflect well? China is a large country with a large population. There is still a big gap between national environmental awareness and Germans. At present, the use of plastic bags in China is the highest in the world, and “white pollution” has become a major public hazard. If the use of plastic bags is not controlled, Restrictions and restraints, letting it spread, the consequences are extremely terrible, and even cause environmental disasters. So we might as well learn German practices. Shopping malls charge plastic bags so that people do not use these plastic bags unrestrainedly.
