21、to energy as solar panels do，the material turns heat into radiation.Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University.He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand.The panels act like a mirror.They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the

30、ores recording the types of bags people carried out.

But people who used to reuse their shopping bags for ot

31、her purposes, like picking up dog waste, still needed bags.“What I found was that sales of garbage bags actually grew sharply after plastic grocery bags were banned, ”she says.
