核心畫面

Think of a circle instead of a straight line. The empty bottle does not travel to a rubbish heap and stop there; it goes off to be washed, crushed or melted down, and comes back to you as a new bottle. Recycling is that whole loop of work — the treating of used paper, glass, metal or plastic so the material can live a second time.

可以想成一個圈,而不是一條直線。喝完的瓶子沒有走到垃圾山就停住,而是被送去洗、壓碎、熔掉,再變成新的瓶子回到你手上。更多收起可以想成一個圈,而不是一條直線。喝完的瓶子沒有走到垃圾山就停住,而是被送去洗、壓碎、熔掉,再變成新的瓶子回到你手上。recycling 講的就是那一整圈的工作——把用過的紙、玻璃、金屬、塑膠處理過,讓那些材料能再活一次。
