Do you know the annual "Waribashi chopsticks (half split, throwaway after used)" consumption in Japan?
About 25,000,000,000 a year.
Okay, so how that help our forests? Oh no, I don't even want to think about it.
In one minute, earth's rainforests loses around 30 hectares (75 acres) of trees. That is about 140,000 square km in one year.
Japan imports Waribashi from foreign countries and about 97% are served. Mainly from China.
Many people in Japan are now starting to carry their own chopsticks "My hashi" to the office, school, restaurant, and everywhere.
