The shop assistant puts the T-shirt in a plastic bag. At home the boy puts on the T-shirt and throws the bag away. Does this sound familiar? Every day millions of people throw millions of plastic bags away. Australians throw about four billion bags a year away and Americans throw away about 100 billion a year. So how many plastic bags do people throw away all over the world in a year? Nobody really knows, but the number is about 1.2 trillion (1,200,000,000,000)! That's a lot of bags. Of course, these bags damage the environment. They are dangerous for animals and they pollute beaches and the sea. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there's an area full of rubbish, including plastic bags, bottles and cartons. It takes days to sail through it. So what should we do? Well, for a start, we can ban plastic bags. Coles Bay in Tasmania was one of the first plastic-bag-free towns in the world. Walk into a shop there and find a plastic bag. You can't! People put their shopping in cloth bags and they reuse the bags again and again. Coles Bay is a small town, but small things can make a big difference. You can make a difference. Just say NO to plastic bags!
