NO MORE PLASTIC STRAWS
Hi everybody! What do you like to drink? Water? Juice? Tea? A sports drink?
What do you usually use to drink your tea? A plastic straw, right? ….…
straws are really convenient! 吸管真是方便好用 可是 now, many places in
Taiwan don't give plastic straws. WHY? 為甚麼現在台灣很多地方都禁止使用
Straws are made out of plastic.
There are more than 23 million people in Taiwan. If everybody uses one or two
straws every day … that's a lot of straws … and a lot of plastic garbage!
Most plastic things don't rot and become part of the earth when you throw
them away. 塑膠製品沒有辦法腐爛
Food rots and becomes part of the earth when you throw it way. Paper and
clothes and lots of things rot and become part of the earth after you throw
them away … but not plastic. 食物、紙、衣服都會腐爛,就是塑膠不行
Taiwan's government is hoping people will stop using plastic straws …
because that will stop tons of plastic garbage! Sounds like a good idea,
right? 這是一個好主意對不對?
But…what can we use to drink our juice or sports drink? Well, one idea is
bamboo straws … or straws made out of metal. You can use a metal straw again
and again … and bamboo is good for the earth … it rots and goes away ...
like food.
We use too much plastic in Taiwan. Some of the plastic garbage goes into the
ocean, and some plastic garbage stays in the earth for years and years! ---
We can all help Taiwan by not using so many plastic things.
我們不要再用那麼多塑膠的東西了
We can use a metal straw or a bamboo straw, and we can use our plastic bags
again and again, right?
We have more than 23 million people in Taiwan! If everyone uses less plastic
every day … it could make a big difference!
