Как читаеться текст 59 these days, people usually do shopping in supermarkets. nearly everything is packed in paper or plastic containers. some of this "packaging" is necessary. it keeps food clean and fresh. but some packaging is not necessary. its just to make the food look better. every year in britain each person produces about 57 kilograms of plastic waste. disposing of all this plastic is an expensive problem. but that's not all. making plastic causes pollution. unfortunately, some of this packaging doesn't reach the bins. it becomes litter instead. some people simply tear the wrapping off sweets and throw it away. they drop their cigarette packets and cans of drink without a thought. in the town their litter looks horrible. but fortunately someone clears it away. in the country side, it remains in the fields and on the roadsides unless the people who live nearby pick it up. it can kill or hurt farm animals. bottles and cans cause cuts, and the animals can eat polythene bags and die, or put their heads in them and suffocate.
