<1>Most of us have seen the heart wrenching images of birds being terminally entangled by plastic bags,and of the deaths of animals due to plastic bag ingestion.
<2>According to the latest report,nearly 200 different species of sea life including whales,dolphins,seals and turtles die because of plastic bags.Bags end up in landfills,oceans,seas and lakes.
<3>Unlike items that naturally biodegrade,plastic bags photodegrade,meaning that over time the plastic break down into smaller,more toxic substances.There contaminants poison our soil and water and then enter our food chain.
<4>If we trade our plastic bags for reusable cloth bags,we can help this plastic bag crisis.
·Because plastic bags are made from oil,reducing them would decrease foreign oil dependency.
·We'd start preserving the thousands of marine animals and more than 1 million of birds who die from plastic bags each year.
<5>It's a small investment to give ourselves and our children a better future.
<1>我们大多数人都看过令人心碎的画面，鸟类被塑料袋缠住，动物因摄入塑料袋而死亡。
<2>根据最新报告，包括鲸鱼、海豚、海豹和海龟在内的近200种不同的海洋生物因塑料袋而死亡。塑料袋最终进入垃圾填埋场、海洋、海洋和湖泊。
<3>与自然生物降解的物品不同，塑料袋可以光降解，这意味着随着时间的推移，塑料会分解成更小、更具毒性的物质。污染物会毒害我们的土壤和水，然后进入我们的食物链。
<4>如果我们将塑料袋换成可重复使用的布袋，我们可以帮助解决塑料袋危机。
·由于塑料袋是由石油制成的，减少塑料袋可以减少对石油的依赖。
·我们将开始保护每年死于塑料袋的数千只海洋动物和超过 100 万只鸟类。
<5>给我们自己和我们的孩子一个更美好的未来是一笔小小的投资。
