Retail outlets could enact a policy that requires customers to bring their own reusable bags or pay to purchase one at checkout. That way bags get reused over and over.

The author wants to persuade readers to change habits so she chooses specific examples of how America could become greener. C. The author wants to inform readers, so she writes with upbeat language to make the topic of recycling sound stimulating. D. The author wants to describe the situation to readers, so she uses opinionated language to express the idea that America is a wasteful nation.
