塑胶袋, Plastic Bags

很久以前，没有塑胶袋。上巴杀要拿个大篮子。 菜和肉都用报纸来包。买汤类熟食的话，还要自己带容器去装。好麻烦。
自从有了塑胶袋之后，塑胶袋又轻又耐，冷的热的，干的湿的都能够装，给生活带来了许多方便。
可是现在政府说要环保，要大家少用塑胶袋。好些商店都不发塑胶袋了。这使到生活又回到了古早时期。
环境局说塑胶袋是用石油做的，少用塑胶袋就等于减少石油的耗费。还有当塑胶袋被丢弃成为垃圾时，燃烧垃圾所产生的碳气又会破坏大气层。
但生产塑胶袋所用的石油会多吗？会的话塑胶袋就不可能那么便宜了。
要减少石油的耗费的话，为什么新加坡车辆的数量每年都在增加呢？
为什么中央快速公路的塞车问题不赶快解决，而让汽车堵在那里一直在烧掉燃油，排出碳气？
我不支持少用塑胶袋运动的原因有二，一是对象问题，二是效率问题。
上巴杀的多数是婆婆妈妈。为什么我们要给婆婆妈妈辛苦？而有钱人就可以驾大车？为什么不减少车辆的数量？为什么不鼓励大车换小车？
少用塑胶袋和减少车辆的数量，那一个比较省油？
为什么政策总是从低层做起，让上巴杀的婆婆妈妈辛苦，让有车阶级族享受？

In the old days, when there was no plastic bag, people needed to bring along a basket to buy things at market. Vegetables and meat were wrapped in newspaper. Buying soup needed to bring along your own container, troublesome.
After the invention of plastic bag, it brought along a lot of convenient. Plastic bag is light and durable. it could contain cold and hot, dry and wet goods.
But now government wants us to use less plastic bags, some shops do not give out free plastic bags anymore. It brings us back to the old days again?
Environment Ministry says that plastic bag is made of fuel, if we could reduce the use of plastic bag it could help to save fuel. Moreover when plastic bag becomes trash, burning of trash will create carbon and will damage the atmosphere.
Will producing plastic bags consume a lot of fuel ? if so, plastic bags cannot be so cheap.
To reduce the use of fuel, why Singapore keeps increasing its car population every year ? why don't they solve the traffic jam problem at Central Expressway ? instead of allowing cars jammed at the expressway burning away fuel and emitting carbon.
I do not support the campaign to use less plastic bags for 2 reasons.
First is the target group. Second is the effectiveness.
Majority of the people who go to markets are housewives and elderly. Why create inconvenient to them ? But allow the rich to drive big cars ?
Why don't we reduce the car population ? why don't we set a policy to discourage use of big cars ?
Why target group of government campaign is always the weak lower group of people ? but allowing the rich car owners to continue enjoying themselves?
