But the learn of forty academics said surrounding a reduction or ban are often shortsighted and not based on facts.The waste products produced when making metal and glass are all bad for the environment.The major environmental impact of glass and metal production is caused by atmospheric emissions from melting activities.The burning of natural gas or fuel oil and the decomposition of raw materials during the meting lead to the edition of CO.Professor David Blackall，who led the research，said that transportation of consumer goods in plastic packaging means fewer vehicles because plastic is lightweight.Therefore burning less fuel and greatly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The academics draw expertise from engineering，science，economies and social science，said there needs to be a "circular economy" for plastic usage. "Almost everything we touch or interact with on a daily basis is made of or contains a plastic of some description， " said Professor David Bucknall，chairman in materials chemistry from the university's Institute of Chemical Sciences. "Banning or reducing their use would have a massive impact on the way we live. "So whilst some people may wish for plastics to be reduced or banned altogether，we need to ensure we are replacing them with materials that are better for the planet.In many cases there is no credible alternative to using a plastic so we need to move towards a "circular economy" for plastics，rather than the largely "make-use-dispose" model we currently adopt.（1）What might be the best title for the text？ ____ A.Plastics Can Cause More Harm to the EnvironmentB.We Need to Replace Plastic with Alternate Materials such as Metal and GlassC.We Need to Move Towards a "Circular Economy" for PlasticsD.Banning Plastic Won't Help the Environment（2）What can we learn about the program of BBC's Blue Planet？ ____ A.It stresses the importance of plastics on the world's oceans.B.It explains the effect of plastics on the world's oceans.C.It promotes reductions or bans of plastics.D.It opposes replacing plastics with materials that are better for the planet.（3）According to Professor David Bucknall，what seems to be the best solution？ ____

An outright ban on plastics could cause even more harm to the environment and lead to triple the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.That's the finding of experts from Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh，who say that replacing plastic with alternate materials such as metal and glass won't help the environment.The team say this is because the manufacturing of these replacements could double global energy consumption.Resources required to process these replacement materials would lead to more energy consumption and more greenhouse gas.Campaigners have called for reductions or bans，with recent programs such as the BBC's Blue Planet highlighting the impact of plastics on the world's oceans.
