Southeast Asia. Tons of plastics from China and Malaysia are thrown away illegally and end up floating in the ocean. Small

. It is very important to be able to stop

.
Despite that it is very difficult to get rid of
plastic
in
this
era, I believe that
this
goal can be accomplished if the
government
follow the
next
two steps.
Firstly

, but today it is not that rare to see a stone

However

society to reduce

. Five years ago, the Japanese
government
allowed all supermarkets to charge

to cut

.
This
