UNIT 3单元提能强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A It should be one of the main goals in today’s society to reduce plastic consumption.Though many believe recycling will solve the problem,and continue using plastic,it’s actually the opposite.In 2013,254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the US alone,and only around 30% was recycled.This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years. Now Asian countries,including Vietnam and Thailand,are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic.One of those ideas was a new,eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging.One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai’s team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using.Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea.“I just entered to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer,who was delayed.When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea.So I took a few pictures and posted them online,” he said. With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares,the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement(实施). Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time,but it’s not that easy.Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.
