Bring your own cup — Chinese reading, HSK 5

臺灣人愛喝手搖飲料，據說一年要喝掉十幾億杯。這麼多杯子和吸管，用一次就丟，對環境造成了很大的負擔。
Tái wān rén ài hē shǒu yáo yǐn liào jù shuō yì nián yào hē diào shí jǐ yì bēi zhè me duō bēi zi hé xī guǎn yòng yí cì jiù diū duì huán jìng zào chéng le hěn dà de fù dān
Taiwanese love hand-shaken drinks — reportedly more than a billion cups a year. So many cups and straws, used once and thrown away, put a heavy burden on the environment.
為了減少垃圾，政府規定店家不能再提供塑膠吸管，很多飲料店也推出優惠：自己帶杯子來，就可以折五塊錢。一開始很多人嫌麻煩，現在卻越來越多人包包裡隨時放著一個環保杯。

To reduce rubbish, the government banned shops from giving out plastic straws, and many drinks shops offer a discount: bring your own cup and get five dollars off. At first lots of people thought it a hassle, but now more and more people carry a reusable cup in their bag all the time.
五塊錢看起來不多，但是只要大家都願意改變一點點習慣，就能為地球少製造很多垃圾。

Five dollars doesn't look like much, but if everyone is willing to change their habits just a little, we can create far less rubbish for the planet.
