45、s use.In the United States , only San Francisco has completely banned plastic bags. Los Angeles will do so in 2010.

46、and Philadelphia .Keith Christman, senior director for the plastics division of the American Chemistry Council , responded that the term “single-use” is misleading because most people actually reuse plastic bags.“A ban on plastic bags could also cause some unexpected results,” he said. In particular

47、, the increased demand for paper bags would double greenhouse emissions (排放) and create “a large increase in waste,” Christman said.Leading U.S. plastic bag manufacturers aim to increase the recycled content of plastic bags to 40 percent by 2015, he added. That would reduce plastic waste by 300 mill

53、in Seoul.He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics “to drive the greening and the improvement of our city” and noted that London promised to reduce carbon emissions by 60 percent by 2025.Johnson said the key measure was settling the problems relating to domestic (家庭的) and commercial buil
