To protect the environment, most supermarkets in China will stop providing (提供) free plastic (塑料)
bags. If you don't want to pay money to buy them, you'll have to bring your own shopping bag. What kind
of bags will be the best to bring? Students in Kunming Xinying Middle School have some good ideas. Fifty-
four students of the school held an activity. They made their own environmentally-friendly (对环境无害的)
shopping bags in it. Most students use ole clothes to make their bags. They painted pictures like the Olympic
rings on them. But Wang Shuncheng, a Junior-Two boy, chose a different material (材料). He made his bag
with old newspaper. Is a newspaper bag strong enough to hold shopping? "No problem. I put six bottles of
water in the bag." He said, "It's strong enough!"
     Chen Lisi, a girl, had a more traditional way to make her bag-she wove (编织) a bamboo bag. It was not
an easy job. With her grandfather's help, Chen spent a whole afternoon making it. She also wove cool (毛线)
flowers on the bag.
     Making bags was not all the students did. They had another job: to persuade their parents and relatives
(亲戚) to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic ones. The school will show the bags
so that shops and stores can get some ideas from the students' work.
