Complete the task. We use plastic every day. Is there a way to minimise using it? Is there any better alternative for plastic in packaging? Some New-Yorkers have been asked about it. Read their answers and decide if the statements are True, False, or Not stated.

My best suggestion is to go with carton boxes, paper boxes, sacks, and cloth bags. We need to reduce plastic consumption in everyday life because it can decompose for 100 years. Of course, it's hard to replace plastic at all, but we are trying to do it, and I hope it will work out.

Maybe. From my point of view, it will be complicated but possible. The transport packaging system, in this case, ensures that the products are safely delivered from one place to another without causing any wear and tear on the products. This packaging system is far better than plastics packaging. I got this information from a website providing the best packaging service to our every customer. I absolutely agree that wrapping things in paper is much better than using plastic every time.

I've watched a documentary about this issue, plastic. It’s a global problem, but we continue to use this material. Constantly, day in and day out. More and more with no end in sight. It seems that the world is flooded with plastic waste. So, what’s the alternative? The documentary didn’t really provide any answers, so I have no idea. Seems like using paper is just as bad as using plastic. Excessive packaging for different goods, especially for gifts, can influence our environment dramatically. The amount of rubbish is growing and growing. We need to find a better alternative.
