1. Should we use plastic products?

Absolutely not, as using plastic bags in stores and supermarkets has a negative impact on the environment. They take several years to break down once released into the environment. They persist and become waste in our cities and oceans. Plastic bags will eventually end up in the increasing number of landfills and cause soil erosion if thrown away. In cities, they block drains and eventually find their way to the sea, where they trap marine life. Those discarded on the streets do the same. Secondly, entanglement or starvation are major causes of animal deaths. Each year, plastic kills millions of animals, including fish, birds, and other marine life. This happens because they accidentally ingest plastic, mistaking it for food; however, their bodies cannot digest it. Alternatively, some may ingest plastic items and absorb the toxic substances within them. About 700 species are known to be affected by plastics, including several endangered ones.

• detrimental: bất lợi
• degrade: xuống cấp
• remain intact: vẫn còn nguyên vẹn
• landfills: bãi rác
• soil degradation: thoái hóa đất
• make their way to: tìm đường đến
• entangle: vướng víu
• malnutrition: suy dinh dưỡng
• mistakenly swallow: nuốt nhầm

2. How can we reduce our use of plastic?

We might have a variety of practical approaches to choose from. First and foremost, it's crucial to avoid single-use plastics like plastic straws. These plastics simplify our lives but seriously harm the environment. There is an urgent need to prefer these products over their potential alternatives. Second, when shopping, opt for a cloth bag instead of a plastic one. To fill our refrigerators, we may need to visit the grocery store at least once a week. Using reusable bags (made of fabric, string, or wicker) every time we leave the house will contribute positively to our planet's condition. Henceforth, I will always carry these bags with me when I go out.

• practical approaches: cách tiếp cận thực tế
• single-use plastics: nhựa dùng một lần
• cutlery: dao kéo
• gravely harming: gây hại nghiêm trọng
• potential alternatives: lựa chọn thay thế tiềm năng
• reusable: tái sử dụng

3. What types of plastic waste are commonly seen in your country?

Commonly observed items include food wrappers, plastic bottles, plastic bottle caps, plastic grocery bags, plastic straws, and stirrers. These single-use plastic products are ubiquitous and have become an integral part of daily life for many people. These products are used daily due to their easy availability and affordability. Little thought is given to where these plastic products might end up. Consequently, plastic items litter streets, water surfaces, and soil. The lack of government regulations or penalties for improper plastic disposal has been a growing concern for decades.

• stirrers: máy khuấy
• single-use plastic: nhựa dùng một lần
• an integral part: một phần không thể thiếu
• end up: kết thúc
• imposed any restrictions: áp đặt bất kỳ hạn chế
• punishments: hình phạt

4. Why do people prefer using plastic products?

Two primary reasons may account for this preference. Firstly, plastic reduces food wastage. The use of plastic packaging helps reduce food waste and prolongs its shelf life. As the global population increases, optimizing food production resources becomes imperative. Minimizing food wastage during transit from farm to table through well-designed packaging is crucial. Secondly, plastic contributes to lower CO2 emissions. Plastic bottles transport more liquid than glass bottles of the same weight, resulting in fewer transport trips, reduced energy consumption, lower carbon dioxide emissions, and cost savings on transportation.

• plastic packing: bao bì nhựa
• maximize: tối đa hóa
• transit: quá cảnh
• kept to a minimum: giữ ở mức tối thiểu
• thought-out packaging: bao bì chu đáo
• plastic bottles: chai nhựa
