韩国塑料袋禁用【洛杉矶禁用塑料袋】

　　Cashier: Paper or plastic today? 　　This is a phrase you won’t hear next year in Los Angeles. The city has joined several other major California 2)municipalities with a ban on plastic grocery bags.
　　收银员：纸袋还是塑料袋？
　　明年开始，你在洛杉矶再也听不到这个句话了。继加利福尼亚州几大城市之后，洛杉矶也即将加入限制塑料购物袋的行列。
　　Resident: I have no problem with plastic being banned. I mean it reduces waste and it doesn’t end up in 3)landfills or in the ocean. It’s a petroleum product.
　　Shoppers will have to bring their own bags to the check-out line or pay 10 cents for a paper bag. Plastic bag manufacturers complain that the new law will make manufacturing jobs disappear.
　　With environmentalists pushing for a state-wide ban on plastic bags, people are wondering how they’ll line their garbage bins and pick up after their pets.
　　Heal the Bay says Californians use 12 billion 4)disposable bags per year and only 5% get recycled. Whether it’s doggie doodoo or dirty 5)diapers, plastic bags are useful. They’re also free and disposable, but environmentalists say we’ve taken them for granted for too long, and they’re not actually free or disposable.
　　Under the new law, produce bags, newspaper bags and dry cleaners’ bags are still allowed. And there’s still six months to 6)stock up before the ban goes into effect.
　　市民：我对限塑措施没有任何意见。此举可以减少垃圾。塑料袋就不会出现在垃圾填埋场和大海中。它毕竟是一种石油产品。
　　购物者在排队结账的时候必须带上自己的购物袋，或者支付10美分购买一个纸袋。塑料袋生产商抱怨新政会导致制造业工人失业。
　　环保主义者力促在全州范围内通过禁塑令。人们不禁会想，若没有塑料袋，垃圾桶的整理和宠物粪便的清理恐怕都会成问题。
　　环保组织“拯救海湾”称，加利福尼亚州每年消费120亿个即弃型塑料袋，但仅有5%得以循环利用。无论是狗狗的粪便，还是用过的婴儿尿布，都离不开塑料袋。人们一直认为塑料袋是免费的、一次性的，但环保人士称这个误区太根深蒂固了，其实塑料袋既不是免费，也不是可以随意抛弃的。
　　新法生效以后，蔬果袋、报纸袋和干洗袋依然可以使用。禁令生效之前的过渡期为六个月。
