About the environmental issues of disposable chopsticks

Each tree can make 80,000-200,000 disposable chopsticks of varying quality

The pass rate is hard to find, but it is estimated to be quite high, and defective products can be used as firewood

< p>Traditional chopsticks are made of bamboo, fir, pine, and ebony

The forest coverage rate is only 13%, the world average is 23%, and our country ranks 110

Every year An average of 32 pairs of disposable chopsticks per person is equivalent to about 0.0178 trees

If trees are cut down, they can be replanted. If everyone does not cut down trees and works to protect the environment, then the houses we live in, the tables we use, and the places we sleep will be Beds, stools to sit on, houses to live in... all have to be saved. We humans can live in a primitive forest again, right? If environmental protection and greening are to improve human living standards, I agree, but not at the expense of humans returning to primitive society! Not to mention how much livelihood does wood provide for people who grow wood? If the wood is not sold, how will the country make money? What do individuals make money from? To put it another way, we have consumed the oil and coal that took hundreds of millions of years to produce on the earth at the fastest speed without any hesitation. Why are we so worried about trees that can regenerate into forests in just ten years?

I won’t go into details about the disadvantages. Everyone understands that long live environmental protection! !
