綠島蘭嶼借杯 減塑好方便 Green and Orchid Island Offer Reusable Cup Rentals
If you're visiting Green Island or Orchid Island, now there's no need to bring a cup!
Now the islands have a cup rental system (租借系統).
There are 1,200 reusable cups for people to rent.
If you are on the islands, and need a cup, head to one of the automatic machines.
Scan the QR code, and enter your cup number.
And you can take the cup!
綠島、蘭嶼都有借環站，可以自助借環保杯，掃瞄QRcode 登記杯子編號，就能借用了。
When you are done with it, you can return the cup at many stores, hotels, and other places.
The cups are then professionally cleaned and disinfected.
每個杯子使用後都會做專門清洗消毒。
Then people can rent them again.
This system started at the end of last year.
But most people stopped visiting the islands because of COVID-19.
So the cups didn't get much use.
But over the Lunar New Year holiday, more people started using the system.
It's a good way to cut waste and help the environment.
目前「綠島杯」和「蘭嶼杯」在綠島、蘭嶼各有5個、4個借環站，多多使用能幫助減輕環境負擔。
飛機上真的有蛇！ Snakes on a Plane in Malaysia
In 2006, there was a Hollywood action movie called "Snakes on a Plane" ("飛機上有蛇").
In the film, people on a plane flying in the air try to stay safe from hundreds of venomous snakes (毒蛇).
The movie became very famous, because it was such a crazy story.
Some people thought the movie was funny, because it could never really happen…
Or could it?
A flight in Malaysia had to make an emergency landing, after a snake was found on the plane.
The plane was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau.
Some of the passengers (乘客) noticed the snake first.
They saw the shadow of the snake, moving through lights on the plane.
飛機起飛沒多久，有一些乘客發現機艙內的燈罩裡有一隻蛇在爬行。
Some people were scared.
And some passengers posted photos and videos of it online.
The plane changed course (改變航向) and made an emergency landing in the city of Kuching.
All the passengers got off the plane safely.
And the snake was taken off the plane too.
The airline did not say what kind of snake it was.
They also did not explain how the snake got on the plane.
But they say this is "very rare", and can happen on "any aircraft from time to time".
The airline says there was no danger for the passengers and the crew (機組員).
And this is not the first time something like this has happened.
In 2016, a Scottish woman went to Australia for a vacation.
She was on a flight to go home, when she noticed her shoe felt strange.
When she took off the shoe, she found a python (蟒蛇)!
Luckily the snake was not venomous.
The plane landed, and people came to take the snake away to a safe place.
So… maybe that Hollywood movie was not as crazy as people thought!
