Hello, Mika. What are you reading?
Oh, hi, Paul. This is an article about plastic waste. It’s a really big problem.
Is there something we can do to reduce waste?
Sure, you can use a fabric shopping bag instead of a plastic bag.
Right. It’s better to bring your own bag than to use a plastic one. Many people throw away plastic bags after using them only once.
That’s true.
