Tips for using less plastic

The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable. But in the meantime, here are five things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.

Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use 1,000 billion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent of them are used in the United States alone. That is almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Dane uses four single-use bags per year, thanks to a plastic bag tax introduced in 1993.

Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.

Do not use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of beverage you like. Some cities in Australia have completely or partially banned bottled water. Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.

Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Do not buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for 2 supermarkets to have plastic-free areas.

Recycle. We cannot recycle all plastic items, but it is possible to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 2.5 kroner per bottle.

31. _________ About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year.

32. _________ Plastic straws were banned in Seattle in 1993.

33. _________ People around the world buy about a million plastic bottles every day.

34. _________ In the United Kingdom, consumers are not encouraged to buy liquid soap in plastic containers.

35. _________ Norway uses machines to collect plastic bottles in the supermarkets.

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the numbered questions.(1.0 point)

How often do you check your phone every day? Twenty, fifty, eighty times? Surveys have shown that the average person checks their phone about seventy times a day. You might not believe it but some people spend up to nine hours a day using social media or online video or music.

We all want to post comments, follow celebrities and know what is going on with our friends. Social media can make our lives full and exciting. However, research also shows a worrying trend. Some people cannot stop checking their social media sites. They do it all the time - sometimes hundreds of times a day. Lots of us know that we look at our phones too often and try to control it. But when you really cannot stop checking. It is a problem. It distracts us from other things and it can make us stressed. Scientists have given this problem a name. It is called FOMO. This stands for Fear Of Missing Out! Three children in every classroom today may have this problem.

People who have FOMO feel they need to check their social media sites all the time. They have a real fear that they will miss something new, interesting or important. Perhaps a friend has met a new boyfriend, a celebrity has talked about his new film or there is a funny video about a new dance craze trending? This problem is that on social media there is always something new, so this person needs to check again and again. A habit has turned into an obsession.

Do you know someone who starts and finishes their day with social media updates? Do they get irritated and dissatisfied with their lives? Do they get anxious if they cannot check their phone? Then this person probably has FOMO. And they may need help.

36. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The benefits of using social media
