Paul and Jen chat about a workshop in Taipei, where participants can bring plastic items such as bottle caps and food containers and make sunglasses out of them. The workshop helps people understand that it is easy to produce new items without further polluting the environment.
Story Text
In Taipei gibt es ein neues Seminar. Man lernt dort, wie man Plastik recycelt. Die Menschen bringen Plastik, wie Flaschenverschlüsse und Essensboxen, mit. In zwei Stunden können sie aus dem Plastik neue Dinge machen. Sie machen zum Beispiel Sonnenbrillen. Das Seminar hilft zu verstehen, dass man leicht neue Sachen herstellen kann. Dafür muss man die Umwelt nicht zusätzlich verschmutzen. Menschen lernen dort, weniger Plastik zu verwenden. Sie denken jetzt auch mehr über Recycling nach. Viele sagen, dass sie jetzt mehr für den Umweltschutz tun wollen. Sie möchten in Zukunft vorsichtiger sein, wenn sie Plastik verwenden.
