Most stores use paper or plastic to wrap the things we buy, including foods. They do this to keep the things clean and dry. But to use paper wrapping, we must kill many trees. Plastic wrapping is cheaper than paper, so we use it much more. We use it so much that there are mountains of plastic garbage everywhere. This is very dangerous for the environment. Fish, birds and land animals are dying because they eat small pieces of plastic. 2. The good news is that there are other ways of wrapping things. For example, banana leaves are a cheap alternative to plastic wrapping. Many countries around the world already use them because they have many advantages. They are large, thick and very easy to use.
