据统计,英国每年用掉175亿个塑料袋。英国有400万人因为经济原因营养不足,而超市的浪费却达到了惊人的地步。政府早就为大超市制定了目标,防止它们浪费,但情况没有改变多少。环境官员本·布拉德肖不得不召集十几家大型零售商开会,对一些大超市提出批评,并准备出台一系列政策改变现状。 According to statistics, the United Kingdom uses 17.5 billion plastic bags annually. There are 4 million people in the UK who are undernourished for economic reasons, and the wastage of supermarkets has reached alarming proportions. The government has long set a goal for supermarkets to prevent them from wasting, but things have not changed much. Environmental Minister Ben Bradshaw had to convene a dozen large retailers to meet for criticism of some big supermarkets and is ready to introduce a series of policy changes in the status quo.
