    Watching news about the environment on TV can make people feel terrible The problems seem so big that it's difficult to imagine what people can do about them  Rebecca Hosking, however, didn't think so.

    Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman（摄影师）and she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry-quite a lot of dead bird that had died because they had eaten some plastic(塑料)that was thrown into the sea each year. 13eaches that used to be beautiful were covered with plastic toys, bottles, pens - every plastic thing you can think of.

Rebecca decided she had to do something. Back at home she thought about what she could do to help solve the problem of throwaway plastic. In her hometown of Modbury, she asked local shop owners to stop using plastic bags in their shops.

    Plastic bags are used everywhere in the UK. The numbers are amazing. The UK uses nearly 17, 000, 000, 000 plastic bags each year. And the bags can take a very long time to break down because they are chemical(化学的)rather than natural, so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.

    To Rebecca's surprise, the shop owners agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag free town in the UK. Instead, shops offered cotton bags or paper bags. Other towns around the UK followed Modbury's example and are becoming plastic bag free. It won't solve all of the world's environment problems but it shows that there is something we can do and one person can make a big change with a strong enough decision.

Although I don't earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What's more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my  parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs（博客）, many people get to know me and like  me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them...You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
