Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 10.
A report from the United Nations given at the conference unveils how worrying the pollution caused by
plastic utensils, especially plastic bags, is becoming. In a single minute, the world consumes one million
plastic bottles; in a year, the world consumes five billion single-use plastic bags, according to Vietnamplus.
The scary fact is that such plastic bottles and bags are not properly treated, as each year, the world
discharges 300 million tons of plastic waste, accounting for some 10% of all solid waste, putting the
environment and human health under tenterhooks, according to the news site.
The conference also drew attention to another fact: “For a plastic bag that can be used for five minutes, it
takes five seconds to produce, one second to discard, but 500 to 1,000 years to become totally decomposed,”
says Vietnamplus.
In another message given by the UN General Secretary and delivered at the conference, it is reported that
since more than eight million tons of plastic bags end up in the oceans each year, “microplastics in the seas
now outnumber stars in our galaxy.” “If present trends continue, by 2050 our oceans will have more plastic
than fish,” Dan Tri reports, quoting Caitlin Wiesen, country director of the UN Development Programme in
Vietnam.
These above-mentioned fearful facts, however, are not merely global issues, but domestic problems as
well, according to local media. Many local news outlets, when relating data from the conference, point out
that white pollution – a term used to indicate the overwhelming discharge of plastic bags into the
environment – is even getting worse in Vietnam than elsewhere.
