If you ask your restaurant waiter to skip the plastic straw (吸管) at dinner, you keep one item out of the rubbish. But if a restaurant can stop handing out plastic straws to every diner, it is a much bigger difference! Here’s how to ask your favorite restaurant to reduce single-use plastic.
Talk to your parents before doing any of following things. Write A Letter Introduction ☆ Tell the business owner how much you enjoy going there. Do you have a favorite dish or dessert they serve? Let them know! Then mention the plastic item you have seen on a recent visit, such as a straw or a bag. Explain the problem with plastic ☆ If you are asking the restaurant to stop giving out plastic take-away bags, you could say that sea turtles can be harmed when they mistake the plastic for food. ☆ Include facts and details about plastic: You could say that 80% of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year, and 700 kinds of sea animals have been affected. Make your suggestions ☆ You could ask a restaurant to hand out plastic straws only if a customer wants them, or ask an ice-cream shop to change plastic spoon to a recyclable one. ☆ End your letter by thanking the business owner for reading. ☆Mail your letter or drop it off in person next time you visit. Speak Up Speak face-to-face with a manager about plastic, whether you are dropping off your letter or just visiting the restaurant. Remember, you need to pay attention to your manners while talking. ☆Politely ask your waiter if you can speak to the restaurant manager. ☆ Shake the manager's hand and look him up in the eye when you talk to him. Tell him why you enjoy coming to the restaurant. ☆Give one fact about the plastic pollution problem and then provide your suggestion. ☆ If you bring your letter, hand it over to the manager. ☆Thank them for their time.
