Three years later, another car accident took place． It was again in New York City． A man named Henry Bliss got off a street car． He was hit by a passing car． Again, no one was sure just how it happened or who was at fault． The driver of the car was put in prison． Poor Mr． Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident．

Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things has changed．
China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bag． The rule started on June 1． It came because our country tried to make litter less． Malting super-thin plastic bags has also been banned．

What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students Chongqing have a good idea．They make their own shooing bags． They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents． They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones． They think it is their duty to protect the environment．
