Plastic shopping bags have become a symbol of environmental pollution. But back in 1959, Swedish packaging designer Sten Gustav Turing invented the one-piece polythene shopping bag. He is trying to save the planet by replacing resource-heavy paper bags with plastic bags that consume fewer resources. He thinks plastic bags should be reused rather than thrown away. "For my dad, the idea of people throwing them away was bizarre," Stern's son said. It is reported that at that time, people used a lot of paper bags and needed to cut down many trees, which was a great harm to the earth. Stern then had the idea that if he could make a bag that was light and strong enough to wear, people could use it over and over again. This means fewer trees will be cut down, which is good for protecting the environment. "Today we are encouraged to bring our own bags to the shops, as Steen did in the 1970s and 1980s. But the problem is that these bags are so convenient that people become lazy and throw them away when they're done using them. Plastic bags aren't disposable, but they're used by people as disposable bag.

In addition to non-biodegradable bags, plastic straws are also one of the biggest culprits for damaging the environment and increasing plastic waste. By the end of 2020, the use of non-biodegradable disposable plastic straws will be banned nationwide in the catering industry. Data shows that Last year, China produced 81.84 million tons of plastic products, including nearly 30,000 tons of plastic straws, counted as 46 billion straws; the per capita use of plastic straws is over 30. Each plastic straw may take as long as 500 years to degrade, and it is difficult to be recycled.
