China's Chopsticks Crusade Feeds Environmental Movement

The title of my article is China's Chopsticks Crusade Feeds Environmental Movement
In summary, using disposable chopsticks are such a waste. Not only because of trash but trees sawed by humans. In order to protect such an environmental destroying, some China students start to persuade campus cafeterias to replace disposable utensils with reusing ones. Even some children write letters to Premier Zhu Rongji asking him to ban them. It means people are beginning to think deeply and independently, instead of just accepting what the government or society tells them. However, some students prefer disposable chopsticks to plastic spoon because they're accustomed to the the thin spoons and often cut their mouth on the sharp edges. In fact, the reason why disposable chopsticks gain in popularity is higher incomes and busier lifestyles, consequently, more people eating out, more restaurants, and more chopsticks. However, Liang Congjie, one of crusade to solve China's environmental problems. But beginning realizing what's the impact on the environment.

In my opinion, nowadays having a meal outside is one of our common daily activities. Consumers usually use disposable dining utensils to eat, for example, wooden disposable chopsticks. However, lots of people don’t know about the secret of disposable chopsticks. Even if they understand the secret, they still use them because they are convenient. So do you know how many disposable chopsticks FCU teachers and students use approximately in one day? There are about 17 thousands people, so about 51 thousands are used to eat. What a terrible number let alone chopsticks used by all Taiwan people. If you know the secret about the disposable chopsticks, you’ll find that using them to have a meal is bad for our moral concept, our body, and our environment.
