Plastic Bags in China

China is banning all free plastic bags. Starting in June the Chinese people will have to pay for the plastic bags. The reason for this is that China uses about 3 billion plastic bags per day, and the bags are clogging things up.

I watched a special about plastic bags ending up in the middle of the pacific ocean in large quantities and causing damage to the sealife.

Bangladesh banned plastic bags about four years ago.

Many of the stores have cloth bags at the check-out stand now in the United States.

Do you think the United States should ban plastic bags?
