Europe's first plastic bag free town.

Exercise one.

Did you know that we use тринадцать billion plastic bags every year in Britain? But if you visit Modbury in the county of Devon, you won't see any plastic bags. The town shopkeepers will give you special biodegradable bags and you'll need cardboard boxes if you go to the supermarket.

This project was the idea of Modbury resident Rebecca Hoskins. Rebecca makes documentaries for the BBC and last year she was making a film in Hawaii, where she saw the terrible effects of plastic. The ocean is full of plastic, which kills thousands of birds and animals every year, such as the turtles and birds that eat plastic bags on the beaches. If we don't take action now, this problem will get much worse in the future.

When she returned home, Rebecca convinced her town to stop using plastic bags. Now, lots of other towns have got similar plans. So next time you go shopping, think about this. If you throw that plastic bag away, it will take a thousand years to disappear.
