塑料袋给人们的生活带来方便，受到人们的普遍欢迎，可是，它的大量使用也带来了严重的环境污染问题。 于是，一些国家规定，超市、商场不能为顾客提供免费塑料袋，并且鼓励大家购买可以多次使用的购物袋。 我们每个人都有责任保护环境，因此，请大家节约使用塑料袋，或者购物时自备购物袋，甚至拒绝使用塑料袋。 虽然这是一件很小的事，但这样做可以减少塑料袋的使用数量，对环境保护有很大的作用。

Plastic bags bring convenience to people's lives and are widely welcomed by people, but their extensive use has also brought serious environmental pollution problems. So, some countries stipulate that supermarkets and shopping malls may not provide free plastic bags to customers, and encourage people to buy reusable shopping bags. Each of us has a responsibility to protect the environment, therefore, please use plastic bags sparingly, or bring your own shopping bag when shopping, or even refuse to use plastic bags. Although this is a very small thing, doing this can reduce the number of plastic bags used and has a big effect on environmental protection.
