购物袋,用纸的,还是塑料的?当我们每次去超市购物时,我们也许都会自问这样的问题.由于纸袋和塑料袋对环境的影响各有利弊,甚至一些环保人士也对这个简单的选择感到困惑.专家说,纸袋的原材料是木材,塑料袋的原材料是原油.为生产美国人每年要用的购物袋,厂家需要耗尽1400万棵树木,或1200万桶石油.生产纸袋所带来空气污染,要比生产塑料袋高70%.但塑料袋一旦生产出来就很难自然降解,它们可以存在几百年,甚至上千年.

Answer 1

Shopping bags, paper, or plastic? Each time we shop in supermarkets, we may ask ourselves such a question. Because both paper bags and plastic bags have their positive and negative impacts on the environment, even some environmentalists are bewildered by this simple choice. Experts say that paper bags are made from woods and plastic bags from crude oil. The plants consume 14 million trees or 12 barrals of crude to make the shopping bags American need in each year. The air polution resulted from making paper bags are 70% higher than that from making plastic bags. However, once made, plastic bags are difficult to degrade natually and they will exist for hundreds or even thousands of years.
