Corresponding Problems:
One problem is that people feel uncomfortable with the life without plastic bags. In the past, plastic bags are always used for trash. Even people who advocate the ban feels awkward about this. Cloth bags can be used for shopping in supermarkets and baskets can be used for containing vegetables and meats in local markets. Yet trash bags cannot be easily replaced.
In big supermarkets, the pace of cashiers is slowed. Because the cashiers need to ask customers whether they need charged plastic bags. And if customers need one or two bags to contain purchased goods, in order to sell plastic bags, cashiers need to scan the barcodes of plastic bags as well. This makes it slower for customers to check out.
Still, the promotion of the harmfulness of white pollution isn't enough. Through my research, Chinese students are aware of white pollution and will use their own shopping bags. Older people(people age 40 and above) and less educated people may not have the knowledge of white pollution.
