Tips for using less plastic
The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by
making plastic more biodegradable. But in the meantime, here are five things you can do to reduce plastic waste
now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use 1,000 billion
plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent of them are used in the United States alone. That is almost
one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Dane uses four single-use bags per year thanks to a
plastic bag tax introduced in 1993.
Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink,
say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban
plastic straws, with many other cities set to follow its example.
Do not use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of beverage you like. Some cities in
Australia have completely or partially banned bottled water. Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million
plastic bottles every minute.
Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Do not buy fruit or
vegetables in plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free
areas.
Recycle. We cannot recycle all plastic items, but it is possible to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons.
Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles
and give a refund of up to 2.5 kroner per bottle.
31. About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year.
32. Plastic straws were banned in Seattle in 1993.
33. People around the world buy about a million plastic bottles every day.
34. In the United Kingdom, consumers are not encouraged to buy liquid soap in plastic containers.
35. Norway uses machines to collect plastic bottles in the supermarkets.
Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the
numbered questions. (1.0 point)
How often do you check your phone every day? Twenty, fifty, eighty times? Surveys have shown that the
average person checks their phone about seventy times a day. You might not believe it but some people spend up
to nine hours a day using social media or online video or music.
We all want to post comments, follow celebrities and know what is going on with our friends. Social media
can make our lives full and exciting. However, research also shows a worrying trend. Some people cannot stop
checking their social media sites. They do it all the time – sometimes hundreds of times a day. Lots of people look
at our phones too often and try to control it. But when you really cannot stop checking, it is a problem. It
