They died because they accidentally ate some of the ________ that is thrown into the sea each year. The beaches on the Pacific islands should have been some of the most ________ places in the world. But they were covered with plastic bottles, pens--every plastic thing you can think of. Because of this, the ________ were becoming dirtier and dirtier.

Plastic bags were used everywhere in Britain. Britain used nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the ________ can take hundreds of years to break down. Each year, the sea and the environment became more and more ________.

Rebecca decided she had to do something. In her hometown Modbury, she asked local shopkeepers if they could do something to help. She asked them to ________ using plastic bags in their shops.

To Rebecca’s surprise, the shopkeepers ________ and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free town in Britain.________, shoppers offered reusable bags. Other towns followed Mobury’s example and more________ around Britain, such as London, Cambridge are becoming plastic bag-free.
