But as we all know, producing these simple items cuts down forests of trees and contributes to mountains of waste. In fact, Starbucks alone uses 4 billion paper cups a year globally and most of these plasticlined cups are never recycled. But a project from Reduce. Reuse. Grow. is handling the coffee industry’s paper cup problem by giving these singleuse coffee holders a further purpose: reforestation. A pany in California has developed the world’s first plantable coffee cup, which has seeds in the paperbased material. That means after you’re done with the cup, you can tear it, lea ve it in water for a few minutes, bury it and let nature take over. To prevent the spread of invasive plants, the bottom of the cup details the seed variety and also includes instructions on how to plant it either in the northern or central coast of California. For those who don’t want to get their hands dirty, the cup can be put into a Reduce. Reuse. Grow bin where it will eventually be taken to a reforestation location. The cup can biodegrade(生物降解 ) within 180 days and offer nutrition to plants. The pany is trying to put the cup into mercial production and persuade coffee shops to buy the cups. 21.

B Our education system was invented. There were no public systems of education before the 19th century. They all came into being to meet the needs of industrialism. So the most useful subjects for work are at the top and you were probably driven away from what you did as a kid at schoolthings you likedbecause you would never get a job doing that. Is that right? Don’t do music. You’re not going to be a musician. Don’t do art. You’re not going to be an artist. In addition, the whole system of public education around the world is a process of university entrance. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not because the thing they were good at wasn’t valued at school. I think we can’t afford to go on that way. In the next 30 years, more people worldwide will be graduating through education than since the beginning of the history. Suddenly, degrees aren’t
