Read the passage and answer questions 9–12.
Plastic bags are convenient, and many shops provide <u>them</u> to customers. However, their use can have environmental <u>outcomes</u> that are easy to overlook, especially when bags are discarded carelessly.
Some communities encourage shoppers to reduce unnecessary single-use bags. Collection and recycling arrangements differ between places, so shoppers need to check local guidance rather than assume every bag belongs in the same bin.
<u>Once they become litter, plastic bags can enter waterways, parks, beaches and streets.</u> Animals may mistake plastic for food, which can harm them. Plastic can also break into smaller pieces called microplastics; becoming smaller does not mean that it has disappeared from the environment.
Shoppers can reduce waste by using bags they already own for as long as possible. Keeping a reusable bag ready can help avoid unnecessary new bags. Appropriate disposal and following local collection rules are also important.
