▶ Your Answer :
There might can be some people who disagree with my opinion, I will not use plastic bags personally to improve the environment of my town for two reasons. First, plastic bags are very harmful for the environment. Second, the other two options are not available for me.
The first reason that why I decided not to use plastic bags is that plastic bags are really harmful to the local environment. As widely known, plastic bags are not naturally degradable. There are no germs which can degrade plastics, and there are no animals or insects which can digest plastics. Therefore if we use and waste plastic bags, they will be accumulated our local environment and damage it. For example, local animals can be suffocated by plastic bags when they mistakenly eat them. If I don't use plastic bags, it will be helpful to the environment of my town.
Also, the other two options are not effective for me. I already use public transportation, so I can not help more my local environment by using it because I already use it. I think I can help pubic transportation by starting a campaign or suggesting to use it to my friends, but these methods are not effective. I have not much time for the campaign, and my friends will not commute by public transportation, because most of them need their car for taking their children to a kindergarten. Moreover, It is not a good option for me to construct a park or to plant a tree in my local community. There is not much land in Korea, so there is not much land to build a green place. I live in Seoul, and there is no place to plant trees. Moreover, a poll made by GP institute shows that citizens in Seoul prefer facilities for convenient such as a parking lot or a sports center then parks. Therefore, building a park is not a good idea for my local community.
In conclusion, I will use reusable bags rather than plastic bags. This is because it will be helpful for my local environment, and the other two options are not effective for me.
