Red green bag

On the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, I often see people carrying large rectangular bags, either in bright green or rose red, in bright colors. Friend asen told me it was "green shopping bag", often referred to simply as "green bag".

Asen's words, the green bag mystery to me. I graduated from Beijing university in chemistry. I understand that transparent plastic bags provided free of charge in supermarkets are usually made of polyvinyl plastic or polyvinyl chloride. Polyethylene plastics and polychlorene plastics become garbage, difficult to decompose, causing pollution to the environment. As a result, Australia advocates replacing polyvinyl and chloride plastic bags with eco-friendly ones. This kind of environmental bag is made of non-woven cloth, which is easy to decompose and won't cause environmental pollution.

In the United States, the stylish, eco-friendly shopping bag, launched in 2007, is handmade from silk and calfskin, can be folded into a purse size and costs up to $960, resulting in a lack of interest. The UK's "I'm not a plastic bag" stylish eco-friendly shopping bag, which costs $15, is also not widely available. Australia's eco-bags are popular, costing less than $1.

Actually, the bag costs more than 9 cents. In order to promote the replacement of plastic bags with green bags, the Australian government has lowered the price of green bags in order to make ordinary people happy to accept them. Considering the high cost of producing environmental bags in Australia, the Australian government has commissioned Chinese enterprises to produce environmental bags. Therefore, most of the environmental bags popular on the streets of Australia are made in China. But while China produces a lot of green bags for Australia, they haven't become fashionable in China.

The strong environmental awareness of the Sydney municipal government and the general public is worth learning by other cities. We should really strengthen environmental awareness and take good care of our earth, because we only have one earth.
