Shopping bags, takeaway belts, online shopping bags... Ms. Yang, a citizen of Chengdu, is very confused. The plastic limit order has been introduced for so long. Why is there more plastic bags in the house than before? (Huaxi Dushi Bao, October 10)
The 'plastic limit order' was implemented for ten years. From the perspective of the effect, it was obviously not ideal. It did not significantly reduce the number of plastic bags in life. On the contrary, before the introduction of the 'plastic limit order', the plastic bags became free from charges. Let the people spend a few cents more on the use of plastic bags, which can be said to be the only change brought by the 'plastic limit order'.
The 'plastic limit order' is almost ineffective. On the surface, the cost of plastic bags is very cheap. A large plastic bag costs only two or three cents. Almost no one cares about this money. They are willing to pay for plastic bags. In other words, the 'plastic limit order' does not play the price lever function that should be used. Moreover, the 'plastic limit order' only restricts the use of plastic bags. It is not forbidden to use plastic bags. Therefore, many people think that they should be effective plastic bags. , the 'plastic limit order' must be raised to 'ban plastic order', the use of plastic bags is completely banned.
In fact, the 'plastic limit order' effect is not ideal. People are willing to pay for plastic bags. In the end, in modern life, many people can't do without plastic bags. They can only use plastic bags. They insist on restrictions and prohibit the use of plastics. Big is not realistic, it is an unrealistic practice. For many people including the author, they have lost the millennium habit of buying vegetables with a vegetable basket, and have not developed the habit of taking shopping bags with them. It makes people have to use plastic bags for shopping, this is no alternative.
Because in daily life, whether it is buying food or buying other goods, as long as you go home, you have to use a bag. It is impossible to pick up the goods directly without empty hands. This is basic common sense. Moreover, every family produces a lot of life every day. Garbage, need garbage bags to hold garbage, otherwise it is not convenient to bring down the building and throw it into the trash can, which makes the plastic bags used in the supermarket to buy things often become garbage bags of many families, achieving secondary use.
Therefore, in the real world where people need to use plastic bags, to reduce the plastic bag and the white garbage pollution behind it, it is necessary to jump out of the traditional prohibition thinking, not to directly reduce the amount of plastic bags used, but to I think that reducing the garbage pollution caused by plastic bags without reducing the amount of plastic bags used.
In fact, the biggest pollution of plastic bags is non-degradable and endangers the ecological environment. According to this idea, to reduce the pollution of plastic bags, we must start with the material of plastic bags, promote production by legislation and encourage policies, and promote the use of degradable materials. Plastic bags, production, sales of plastic bags such as polyethylene, which are not degradable materials. At this point, the party and government agencies should take the lead. Moreover, in comparison, plastic bags with degradable materials, cost and price ratio Non-degradable plastic bags are more expensive, and they can play the price lever function to guide the public to reduce the amount of garbage bags.
Of course, guiding the public to develop the habit of using environmentally friendly bags also requires policy promotion, such as encouraging supermarkets to provide shared environmental protection bags.
