A new
cafe culture is forming in and around San Francisco, California. A growing
number of coffeehouses there are banning paper cups.
1 , they are using glass containers or creating "bring
your own" cup policies. The movement started among neighborhood cafes in
an effort to
2 waste. Now it is gaining 3 from large businesses in the city — and around
the country.
The
Blue Bottle coffeehouse company is starting small with plans to 4 using paper cups at two of its stores in 2020.
The move is part of a promise to produce "zero 5"
by the end of the year. 6 will have to bring their own cups or pay a(n) 7 US$3 to US$5 for a reusable cup. They can keep
the cup or 8 it to get their money back.
The
company's CEO, Bryan Meehan, said that the new program will help 9 the company on how to expand (扩展) its policy nationwide. He said, "We may 10 some business, because some of our guests won't
like it, but we're prepared for that."
Larger
coffee and fast-food businesses around the U.S. are feeling a sense of urgency
to be more environmentally 11. Today's paper cups for hot drinks are
not only made from paper, but they also have plastic to 12 leaking (渗漏). This
makes them difficult to recycle. It is unlikely that large national food and
drink companies will stop using paper cups 13 or ask all customers to bring their own. So
they are 14 other solutions. Starbucks and McDonald's have
15 US$10 million to develop the "recyclable
cup of the future". The result is expected to be recyclable and to break
down naturally.
