[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. You can read more about the bags here: https://www.bagtoearth.com/about

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.

您沒看錯,從海龜口中拉出來的,
正是我們每天都在使用的塑膠袋,
幾秒鐘的便利,卻可能造成永久的傷害。

plastic bag pollution 在 Xiaofei小飛 Youtube 的最佳貼文
在三貂嶺步道附近的分流整條溪流都是塑膠料。我從來沒有見過如此污染的河流。我們徒步穿過這條河大約800公尺(我現在後悔了,現在我知道污染比我以前認為的要嚴重和更有毒)並且沿途看到了幾噸垃圾......那是在這條溪的後段三分之一的地方。它延伸了1500公尺。
大多數可見的垃圾看起來都是某種厚厚的塑料薄膜,而其他戶外活動者已經證實它至少在2017年夏天就已存在。許多人認為它從瑞芳中坑垃圾掩埋場溢出。垃圾掩埋場就在這條溪的山頂。在其他任何地方都沒有通往河流的道路或其他入口點,所以這似乎是一個可能的來源。
確認正確的污染源是非常重要的,因為如果我們沒有正確的污染源,那麼我們就無法阻止它在未來再一次發生。所以感謝所有評論我的舊視頻並糾正我的人。
昨天我們從河裡拿了一個裝滿塑料垃圾的大袋子,直接到垃圾掩埋場看他們是否可以識別它,但那裡有一個大門,我們無法進入。
我再次希望你能分享這段視頻,希望如果合適的人看到它,就會對這條河流做些什麼幫助。但是,在我們知道污染是什麼以及它有多毒性之前,我不再建議一般人去那裡做戶外活動。
在那條河裡,這是一次令人心碎的經歷。在此問題得到解決之前,我認為我不能讓自己回去,我不會在這條河的下游任何地方進行溯溪。這是一個真正的恥辱,但我不知道還能做什麼。希望你們能比我更有效率。
撤回聲明:此視頻的早期版本錯誤地指出此處顯示的垃圾是天燈。 事實並非如此。 這種塑料污染來自另一個來源。 許多新聞機構都與我聯繫想播放這個視頻。 我明確告訴他們這裡顯示的垃圾不是天燈。 如果他們說這些是天燈,他們已經知道它們不是。
謝謝Jonas幫忙: https://www.youtube.com/user/JonasTjader
The entire side river off Sandiaoling Trail is full of plastic. I’ve never seen a river so polluted. We hiked up about 800 meters through the river (which I now regret doing, now that I know the pollution was a lot more serious and toxic than I had previously thought) and saw several tons of trash along the way… That was the last ⅓ of the river. It goes up for another 1500 meters.
Most of the visible garbage appears to be some kind of thick plastic membrane, and other hikers have confirmed that it’s been there since at least Summer 2017. Many people think that it is spilling out of the 瑞芳中坑垃圾掩埋場 landfill at the top of the mountain. There are no roads or other access points to the river anywhere else, so that seems like a likely source.
It’s very important that the correct source of pollution is identified, because if we don’t have the right source, then we can’t stop it from happening again in the future. So thanks everyone who commented on my old video and corrected me.
Yesterday we took a bag out of the river and up to the landfill to see if they could identify it, but there is a big gate there, we were unable to get in.
Again I hope that you will share this video with the hopes that if the right people see it, something will be done about this river. But I no longer recommend anyone going there themselves until we know what the pollution is, and how toxic it might be.
It’s a heartbreaking experience to be in that river. I don’t think I can bring myself to go back, and I won’t be tracing anywhere downstream of this river until this problem is resolved. It’s a real shame, but I don’t know what else to do. Hopefully you can be more effective than I was.
Retraction Statement: An earlier version of this video incorrectly stated that the trash shown here was lanterns. That is not the case. This plastic pollution is from another source. Numerous news agencies contacted me about the video. I explicitly informed them that the trash shown here is not lanterns. If they say these are lanterns they do so with the knowledge of this correction.
