Dear Editors, I have been reading your newspaper for many years with a great enthusiasm and interest. It is my view that limiting the use of disposable plastic bags is of utmost significance. To crack this hard nut, I would like to propose several practical recommendations as follows. First and formost, it is imperative for us to ban the free use of disposable plastic bags. In addition, we should develope possible alternative forms to replace them, such as paper or clothing bags. Last but not least, plastic bags should be offered in a much higher price in department stores or supermarkets. I hope you will find the above proposals conducive and I would like to discuss this matter to further details. Your prompt attention to my suggestions would be highly appreciated. Yours sincerely, Li Ming
