April 22, 2025 marks the 55th World Earth Day. This year's theme is “Our Power, Our Planet”. So, I decided to use my power to make a difference: living a whole day without using any plastic.
My morning started with a homemade breakfast in a glass bowl. But later when I tried to order juice as usual, I had to give up because of those plastic cups. I faced a bigger problem at the supermarket. Almost everything was wrapped (包装) in plastic — from fruit and vegetables to meat. It made me realize that plastic is everywhere, making it ▲ to carry on with my no - plastic plan.
Plastic is widely used in our daily life. It can be made into all kinds of things such as bags, bottles and toys. It's tough (牢固的) and it's really light. So we depend heavily on it.
But there's one thing: Using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment. Humans use about one million plastic bottles every minute, and more than 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year, according to a United Nations report. The world produces about 200 million tons of plastic waste each year, but only about 10 per cent is recycled. Most of them end up in the lakes, rivers and oceans, hurting animals and nature.
To make a difference, China stopped the production, sales and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm in 2008. From 2010 to 2020, China recycled 170 million tons of waste plastic. These have helped reduce plastic waste.
Let's join hands and make a clean and beautiful world.
