Every year, factories make a number of plastic bottles, plastic straws (吸管) and metal cans. These things are difficult to clean up. They may stay on earth for over 100 years since they can't be broken down easily. However, more and more people have realized this problem and chosen to “go green”. Both customers and companies are changing in some ways.
On the one hand, customers hope that the products they buy are “green”. Before they buy a product, they ask questions about the environment. Will this shower cream be bad for the environment? Can we reuse this box? A recent study showed that 40% of adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.
On the other hand, companies are changing the way they make and sell their products. Only by doing this can companies make sure that they are “green”. A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are thousands. Some supermarket products carry marks to show that they are green. Some companies also make ads that are good for the environment. Caring for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies think about how they do business.
