Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags.It was convenient for people to do shopping,but things changed.To protect the environment,supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1,2008.If you don’t want to pay money to buy them,you’ll have to bring your own shopping bags.

    A boy student,Wang Lin made his bag with several old newspapers.We asked him whether the bag was strong enough.Wang Lin said it was.“No problem.I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening,”he said,“I think it’s strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water.”

    Fang Yuanyuan,a girl student,had a more traditional way to make her bag—a bamboo basket.“It was a hard job.”she said,“With my grandfather’s help,I spent a whole afternoon making it.”

The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones.Next Saturday afternoon,the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students’ work.
