There are many social issues, and I would like to focus on the environmental ones. I grew up in Japan. Therefore, maybe the recent biggest change regarding that topic is the charging of plastic bags at stores. However, it seems there are other countries that were already adopting that environmental protection policy before my country executed it. As to Japan's timeline about that, Japan banned free plastic bags in 2020, and single-use plastics are still common.

Regarding waste, the opportunity to use plastic bags to bring back purchased items may have reduced. However, people still need and get them for taking out garbage. Also, as to the first nation of restriction on plastic bags, Denmark seems the first country that imposed a tax on them in 1993. Already, 33 years have passed since then.

2. “Get” is unnecessary; “need them” conveys the idea clearly.

5. Correct phrasing.
6. This is a more natural English word order.
Over-packaging can be the next big hurdle. Another solution, to be more environmentally friendly, for example, bioplastics catch attention. However, ultimately, it produces carbon dioxide and accelerates global warming. Therefore, having an aim to reduce the consumption of plastics by decreasing the use of packages seems a superior solution to tackle environmental problems.

2. Rearranged for smoother, grammatically correct phrasing.
3. “They” refers to bioplastics; plural agreement is correct.
4, 5. Correct the subject-verb agreement.
6. This phrasing is more concise and improves readability.
7. “Seem” is followed by “to be” + adjective or noun" when describing a state, quality, or characteristic.
8. "After prepositions like 'for', we always use the -ing form of the verb. Using 'solution for tackling' makes the sentence flow better.
If they do that, that is ideal. Thinking of when I will see that kind of agenda, there is no reasoning, but it seems hard in 30 years, at least. It could be realised after 100 or 200 years. I wonder how it is gonna be in the future.

3. “Thinking about” is more natural than “thinking of.”
4. “Might see” expresses uncertainty.
5. Rephrased to make the meaning clear and grammatically complete, specifying that the difficulty refers to accomplishing the goal within that timeframe.

I think so, considering the recent TV programs influenced by the Japanese government's push for sustainability. I like watching TV shows, and during the summer season, because the weather is seriously too hot, people recognize the effect due to global warming, and also TV broadcasters appeal to their viewers with their attitude towards that problem. If there were no campaigns or strict laws for environmental protection, the recent programs that encourage a greater understanding of the importance of sustainability wouldn't exist. From that aspect, the governmental effort is essential regarding the topic.
