It occurred to me that we should all take more responsibility in protecting our environment by creating less garbage. Looking at this fast food’s disposable containers, I think the less we use these the better the environment we will keep.
Suddenly, I have a fancy idea that there should be a policy to oblige every citizen to bring their own convenient tableware and water bottles etc to contain the food and beverage that they will consume at restaurants. As an incentive to consumers, a discount on the price of food say 5% for example will be given on top of any other discount that may be offered during business promotions. Besides, there will be an environmental tax at say 2% to be levied on top of the food price for whatever disposable apparatus used in the service if no self provided kits are to be used. The advantages in using self provided kits would not only be confined to saving costs but may also improve personal hygiene in using ones own apparatus and will avoid food wastage.
