Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 2:
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
(Đã có đôi lúc, chính phủ ra lệnh cấm các chủ cửa hàng cung cấp túi nhựa cho khách hàng để đựng hàng hoá của họ, với ít hiệu quả lâu dài. Túi nhựa rất phổ biến với cả các nhà bán lẻ cũng như với người tiêu dùng bởi vì chúng rẻ, chắc, nhẹ, chức năng, cũng như các phương tiện vệ sinh để mang thực phẩm cũng như các hàng hóa khác. Khoảng một trăm tỷ túi ni-lông được sử dụng hàng năm chỉ riêng tại Hoa Kỳ. Và rồi, khi ta xem xét các nền kinh tế và dân số khổng lồ của Ấn Độ, Trung Quốc, châu Âu và các nơi khác trên thế giới, những con số có thể đáng kinh ngạc. Vấn đề càng trở nên trầm trọng hơn bởi các nước phát triển vận chuyển chất thải nhựa của họ đến các nước đang phát triển như Ấn Độ.)

Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do the job for them. But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or even opening your mouth.
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere words. During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers. Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian tradition will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing a bouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously, women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower dictionary. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as the meanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded in the flowers.
