Phase-out of lightweight plastic bags

Hey there kiddo, do you know about plastic bags that are used for carrying things like groceries or other items? Well, some people think that these plastic bags are not good for the environment because they take a long time to break down and can harm animals and the environment.

So, some countries and states are making rules to stop people from using these plastic bags. This is called a phase-out. It means that people will slowly stop using these bags and start using other things like reusable bags or paper bags instead.

The idea is that if people stop using plastic bags and switch to more eco-friendly options, it will be better for the environment in the long run. So, next time you go shopping with your parents, use a reusable bag instead of a plastic one!
