Experts in the food industry are thinking a lot about trash these days. Food waste has been a serious problem for restaurants and grocery stores—with millions of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines.
Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are compensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. " We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of the kitchen, and the elephant is this ’ It’s okay to waste’ belief system," said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath, a company that helps restaurants cut back food waste.
Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. "You have to go back and get your silverware and your drink, but it’s not that different," said Caitlin Mewborn, a freshman. "It’s not a big deal. You take less food, and you don’t eat more than you should. " Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet(自助餐), only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.
That same phenomenon often happens at Oregon’s Portland International Airport. Busy travelers often discard half-eaten meals into trash cans, adding dozens of tons of waste that the airport must pay the city to haul away. Now the airport is working on a three-year-old program to install food-only trash cans. The food waste is collected in biodegradable(能生物降解的)bags and given to the city to use as compost(堆肥), said Stan Jones, environmental protection manager at the airport.
Besides being environmentally friendly, the changes may save the airport money. It costs about $ 82 to have one ton of trash hauled from the airport to the city landfill. But food waste costs about $ 48 a ton to haul. Last year, the airport was able to separate 165 tons of food from the trash stream, which would add up to $ 5,600 in hauling fees alone.
What does Andrew Shackman say we should pay attention to?
选项
A、How to use novel ways to compensate for the costs of waste.
B、How to get ride of the "It’s okay to waste" belief system.
C、How to haul tons of food waste in the middle of the kitchen.
D、How to call for institutions to deal with the issue of food waste.
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。本题考查安德鲁·沙克曼认为在食品垃圾方面,我们应该注意什么。由定位句可知,安德鲁·沙克曼认为,我们需要通力合作,去和信奉“扔垃圾没事儿”的体系作斗争,故答案为B)。A)“如何使用新方法弥补垃圾成本”和D)“如何号召各个机构一起来应对食品垃圾问题”都是对第二段第一句的曲解。第二段第一句提到餐馆、大学等机构正在设法弥补不断攀升的垃圾成本,这是作者陈述的事实,不是安德鲁·沙克曼给出的建议,故排除;C)“如何运走厨房中数吨的垃圾”原文未提及,故排除。
