[生活美語] 同學有看過Bag to Earth*這種廚餘回收袋嗎？
在溫哥華第一次見到!
這些袋子完全都是用裝廚餘的可生物分解紙做的；這種由可再生材料製成的紙張為堆肥過程添加了所需的營養，因而使得有機食物的垃圾循環更具效率。透過連結可以閱讀更多有關袋子的資訊：https://www.bagtoearth.com/about
The bags are made entirely of biodegradable paper and are used to hold kitchen waste/food scraps (廚餘). This makes the organic food waste cycle more efficient as the paper, made from renewable and sustainable resources, adds needed nutrients to the composting process.

在台灣，我們使用塑膠袋裝廚餘。而這些袋子會被回收、還是被燒？我們多少的廚餘會變成肥料或是用來餵豬？這個過程的效率如何？我們應該如何做以減少食物浪費並降低回收過程的環境成本？這些是當探討環境污染時，我們應該思考的一些問題。
In Taiwan, we use plastic bag to hold our kitchen waste. Are these bags recycled or burned? How much of our kitchen waste is turned into fertilizer or pig feed? How efficient is the process? How can we reduce food waste and lower the environmental costs of our recycling processes? Some questions to think about when discussing environmental pollution.
