The international coffee shop chain Starbucks willstart giving customers a discount if they bring theirown cups. The discount is part of a two-month trialin cafes in England. Starbucks said it wants to reducethe amount of waste and recycle more. The vicepresident of Starbucks UK said: "Starbucks iscommitted to increasing recycling rates andreusable cups are a key part of our overall waste reduction strategy." Bosses will look at thesuccess of the trial and then decide if they will continue it. The company wants to cut down onthe huge number of paper cups that are put in the trash. Customers who bring their own mugswill get a discount on all drinks, except for the cafe's cheaper filter coffee.

國(guó)際咖啡連鎖星巴克表示，自帶杯子將享受打折優(yōu)惠。打折活動(dòng)開始在英格蘭試點(diǎn)，為期兩個(gè)月。星巴克希望減少浪費(fèi)，發(fā)展再循環(huán)利用。英國(guó)星巴克副總裁表示：“星巴克致力于提高循環(huán)利用率，非一次性咖啡杯則是整個(gè)“減廢”計(jì)劃的重中之重。”通過試點(diǎn)決定是否繼續(xù)開展。星巴克希望減少紙杯浪費(fèi)。自帶杯子將享受打折優(yōu)惠，除了廉價(jià)的過濾咖啡，打折涵蓋所有飲品。

The issue of disposable paper cups has been in the news in England a lot recently. Around 2.5 billion of them are thrown away every year that's about seven million cups every day. Journalists have said that some coffee chains lie about how many paper cups they recycle. Thejournalists say the companies do not recycle as many cups as they say they do. This meanscustomers wrongly believe that a coffee shop is environmentally friendly. A recycling service inthe UK said that fewer than one in 400 paper cups at coffee shop chains are recycled. Onecoffee drinker said she would now bring her own cup. She said: "I am disappointed that cafesrecycle so little. I thought they were more responsible."

近日，英格蘭媒體曾多次報(bào)道一次性紙杯問題。每年廢棄紙杯約25億。約每天700萬個(gè)。據(jù)記者報(bào)道，許多咖啡連鎖在再利用上采取欺騙手段?；厥諗?shù)量并沒有達(dá)到他們所說的要求。誤導(dǎo)顧客，讓顧客認(rèn)為紙杯環(huán)保。英國(guó)某回收組織表示，紙杯回收率不到四百分之一。某顧客稱將自帶咖啡杯。她表示：“我對(duì)咖啡杯的循環(huán)利用率感到失望。我原以他們的責(zé)任更重。”
