VIII.Fill in the blanks with proper words.16' More and more businesses are switching to paper p. as an alternative.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However,it,too,is harmful to the environment. Firstly,paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees,as you know,can I carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.They can slow down climate change. An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more deforestation. Secondly,the production of paper items requires more energy and water,About 10 percent more energy and four t as much water is used to produce à paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use r paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea.However,it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag. Furthermore,paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That imeans they require more fuel to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags,but only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased w' 二 also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away. Paper products are a a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents,w a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents. The most environment-friendly way is to a single-use 1tems altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.Through increasing the use of these items,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place! 4 $$
