Nick: It's a reusable shopping bag.
Mi: Do you always use it?
Nick: Yes. It's better than a plastic one. If we all use this kind of bag, we will help the environment.
Mi: I see. I'll buy one for my mum. Where can I buy one?
Nick: At the check-out. By the way, you're also green. You're cycling.
Mi: You're right. If more people cycle, the air will be cleaner. Right?
