Recycling chopsticks in Japan

[roygbiv330]

the fact is that most of chopstics are made from the thinning-out trees which are to be discared in mountains. the journalist did not mention about this fact.

Korean restuarants use metal chopsticks...a little harder to use but not bad once you get used to it....

[mydogbiteme]

chopsticks are just japanese culture.

too difficult throw away that.

then we try another approach.

40% of forest in japan is human made.

we should all use washable chopsticks and cutleries. stop using disposables. i intend to bring with me my own set the next time i eat out in a fast food chain. when i buy take-outs i tell the server not to include tissue and plastic spoon&fork. i even bring with me my own bag for the take-outs...

Whoa.... I didn't know they speak English in Japan....

[lseateal]

becuz u r ignorant :)

[LazyBoy3325]

they do, however english is not compulsary subject in japanese schools until high school. That might be one of the reasons alot of japanese dont speak much english.

@NarutoNinjagirl93 We seldom speak English to eachother talking with Japanese people. and the last one who dubbed has strong Japanese accent worse than I do...

I apologize if you meant to joke the dubs... XD
