I remember when I was a child, my mother went to the market to buy pork, the butcher used the lotus leaves and straw to package pork to sold the customer, Clay oven rolls and Fried bread stick are wrapped by newspaper, and the tea flavoured egg are Package with the phone book page . Since the invention of disposable tableware and plastic bags, although they convenient living for the human, but such convenience, cause terrible harm to nature.

According to statistics, people in Taiwan a year spent 18 billion plastic bags, on average each year, everyone used more than 782 plastic bags, per person to used 2.14 bags in per day, the number is quite amazing, and, unfortunately, the recycling rate is actually only 7%. What is the significance of this number to us ? we must think to another way, if everyone to reduce using just a plastic bag in per day, then throughout the year, it will reduce the use of about nine billion plastic bags.

Now, I always put the reusable shopping bags and plastic bag in my handbags, when I buy lunch I will carry a lunch box or pots, and do not using disposable tableware, because the Environmental Action , Everyone should start by ourselves.
