The marketing coordinator was concerned about【C2】______the chemicals coming out of some common types of plastic might be doing to her body. She was also worried about the damage all the plastic【C3】______was doing to the environment. So she【C4】______on her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that didn’t【C5】______plastic. "I went in and【C6】______bought anything," Haegele says. She did【C7】______some canned food and a carton (纸盒) of milk —【C8】______to discover later that both containers were【C9】______with plastic resin (树脂). "Plastic," she says, "just seemed like it was in everything."

It’s used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the【C13】______adaptable substance has its dark side. Environmentalists feel worried about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of【C14】______chemicals making their way from【C15】______plastic into children’s bloodstreams. Which means Haegele isn’t the only person trying to cut plastic out of her life — she isn’t【C16】______the only one blogging about this kind of【C17】______. But those who’ve tried know it’s【C18】______from easy to go plastic-free. "These things seem to be so common【C19】______it is practically impossible to avoid coming into【C20】______with them," says Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri. [br] 【C6】
