Welcome to the evening news. Today, we have an important update on a new city policy. Starting next month, our city will have a new rule to help protect the environment. The mayor announced that all supermarkets and stores will stop giving out free plastic bags to customers.
Why is the city doing this? Plastic bags are very bad for the earth. People use them for only a few minutes, but they stay in the ground or the ocean for hundreds of years. Many sea animals, like turtles and fish, eat the plastic by mistake and get sick. The new policy wants to stop this problem.
If you go shopping, you need to bring your own bags from home. You can use cloth bags because you can wash and use them many times. If you forget to bring a bag, you will have to pay five dollars to buy a paper bag at the store. The money from selling paper bags will go to a special fund to clean up our city parks and beaches.
To help people get ready, schools are also doing their part. Teachers are talking to students about the importance of protecting nature. Students are learning how to make their own shopping bags from old clothes. This fun activity teaches young people to recycle and care for the world.
Many people are happy about this change. They say it is a great idea to make our city cleaner and greener. However, some people think it is not convenient. They worry that they will always forget to bring their own bags when they buy food.
The mayor hopes that everyone will understand and follow the new rule. "It might be a little hard at first," the mayor said, "but we must work together for our future." So, remember to put some cloth bags in your car or backpack. Let's do our best to save our beautiful planet.
Update on Policy

歡迎收看晚間新聞。今天，我們有一個關於城市新政策的重要更新。從下個月開始，我們城市將實施一項新規定來幫助保護環境。市長宣布，所有超市和商店將停止免費提供塑膠袋給顧客。為什麼城市要這麼做？塑膠袋對地球非常有害。人們只使用它們幾分鐘，但它們卻會在土壤或海洋中停留數百年。許多海洋動物，如海龜和魚，會誤食塑膠而生病。這項新政策希望能阻止這個問題。
如果你去購物，你需要從家裡自己帶袋子。你可以使用布袋，因為你可以清洗並多次使用它們。如果你忘記帶袋子，你將必須支付五元在商店購買一個紙袋。販售紙袋的錢將會進入一個特別基金，用來清理我們城市的公園和海灘。
為了幫助人們做好準備，學校也盡了一份心力。老師們正在和學生談論保護大自然的重要性。學生們正在學習如何用舊衣服製作他們自己的購物袋。這個有趣的活動教導年輕人回收利用並關心這個世界。
許多人對這個改變感到高興。他們說讓我們的城市變得更乾淨、更環保是個很棒的主意。然而，有些人認為這不方便。他們擔心買食物時總是會忘記帶自己的袋子。
市長希望每個人都能理解並遵守新規定。「一開始可能會有點困難，」市長說，「但我們必須為我們的未來共同努力。」所以，記得在你的車裡或背包裡放一些布袋。讓我們盡最大的努力來拯救我們美麗的星球。
