Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade. They’ve wasted tons of food. They’ve underpaid their suppliers and they’ve contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.
But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse, recycle or convert all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their cwm-brand products by 2023.
In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two percent of supermarkets’ total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.
Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berlin’s Original Unverpakt and London’s Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion’s share of the retail price.
There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.
Which is NOT mentioned as an unethical act of major supermarket chains?
选项
A、Wasting large amounts of food.
B、Producing excessive plastic waste.
C、Underpaying their suppliers.
D、Selling goods of poor quality.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第一段“Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade…”可知,过去十年来,许多大型连锁超市因各种不道德行为而受到指责。他们浪费了大量的食物。他们给供应商的报酬太低。他们还使包装中产生了过多的塑料垃圾,对我们的环境产生了影响。销售质量差的商品不属于文章提及的不道德行为,故选D。
