Rory: 我认为减少塑料使用的一个好方法是转向替代材料,比如纸和纸板,它们相对无害且可生物降解。当然,在某些情况下,塑料制品是不可避免的,例如笔记本电脑的硬塑料外壳。人们使用塑料制品,很多时候不是因为喜欢,而是因为缺乏可行的替代方案,而且塑料通常比较便宜和轻便。我认为,如果能够开发出效果好且易于大规模生产的替代品,未来我们完全可以摆脱塑料。政府在减少塑料污染方面可以发挥作用,例如鼓励对替代产品的投资,并启动激励人们使用替代品的项目。当然,最终人们是否会减少塑料垃圾,取决于他们自己的选择和需求。虽然现在人们越来越意识到塑料对环境的危害,但我对未来塑料垃圾是否会减少并不确定,因为改变总是很困难的。 Maria: 我认为我们可以通过改用替代材料来减少塑料垃圾,例如纸和纸板,它们是可生物降解的。人们应该避免使用一次性塑料制品,比如塑料袋、保鲜膜、吸管和塑料咖啡杯,也应该停止购买瓶装水,多做饭,减少外卖。购买二手物品、进行回收利用,并购买环保包装的产品也是很好的选择。当然,有时我们无法避免塑料包装的使用,而且塑料无处不在,甚至已经进入了我们的身体。可行的替代品是指能够发挥作用的其他选择。政府可以鼓励无纸化趋势,投资于废物管理,并采取措施来减少塑料污染。
