PART 2 (5 points)

A. Perhaps we’ll learn to do what my mother did. She used to keep a store of

paper bags in a kitchen drawer and use them again and again in those days and the shopkeeper weighted out the amount you wanted.

B. Can you believe it? There’s a world paper shortage, there’s a national bottle shortage, and we’re running out of raw materials like timber and tin—or so the papers say.

C. All this packaging makes shopping cleaner and more convenient, but at what cost? Every time you throw away a paper bag you’re throwing away part of a tree—and trees don’t grow overnight! At this rate there soon won’t be any tress left, and then what shall we do?

D. You can’t ev en buy a loaf of bread without getting a piece of paper round

it—that’s if you can find a loaf that hasn’t already been sliced and then wrapped. Supermarkets are the worst offenders. Pieces of meat are put on small plastic trays and then wrapped in polythene, cartons of cream are put in extra-paper bags at the checkout point, fruit and vegetables are packed in plastic bags, cheese is sold wrapped in polythene and eggs come in special cardboard or plastic boxes.

E. Well, I’ve just emptied my shopping basket after my weekly shopping trip

and it was full of things made from these scarce materials. Half of what I’d bought I threw away at once: all those unnecessary paper bags, plastic bags, fresh wrapping paper and old newspapers they put the food in nowadays.
