2040.But thedocument arguesthat switchingplastic forother materialswillhave a bigger costin termsof energyand carbonemissions排放.That soundslike thelaw ofunintended非故意的consequences inaction.When plasticbags aremeasured againstpaper orcottonsubstitutes,a BBCanalysis found there wasnta greatdeal ofdifference in their environmentalimpact.Paper bagsrequire fewerreuses to make themmore environmentallyfriendly thansingle-useplastic bags,which meanscustomers have to replacepaper bagsmore frequently.Environmentalists,though,are notentirely convinced.They think that BPis stressingthe problemofbanning plasticfor itsown interest.While itstrue that it takesless energyto produceand transportplasticthan glass,a glassbottle canbe reuseddozens of times andis recyclable.Plus,materials likeglasswhen theyescape collectiondont go on pollutingour oceansand riversfor hundreds of years,said LouiseEdge,from GreenpeaceUK.Steps to encourage recyclingare beingtaken.The UK,for example,will introducea newtax on themanufacture andimport ofplastic packagingin
