Four Tips for Using Less Plastic（塑料）

 As we all know, the world has a plastic problem — and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find along-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable（生物可降解的）. 

Quit using plastic bags. People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year About 10 percent a reused in the United States alone. That's almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Danish uses four single-use bags per year. Today, other countries （such as Germany and New Zealand） either make customers pay for plastic bags or have stopped using them completely.

Today, around 8 3 billion plastic straws（吸管） pollute the world's beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U. S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.

Don't use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of drink you like. Some cities, like Bundanoon in Australia and San Francisco in the U. S. , have completely or partially（部分地） started quitting bottled water .

Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don't buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. They also want to ta x plastic take out containers.

A. Don't use plastic straws.

B. Don't pollute the beaches.

C. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. 

D. Therefore, pollution has been largely decreased across the world. 

E. In the U. K. , leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. 

F. Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute. 

G. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now. 

Anxious thinker. Loner. Wallflower. These are some negative comments for "introvert" （内向者）, showing a common mind-set in America. Actually they just interact differently; they do well when given time alone to think and prefer close conversations.

American society is ruled by the "Extrovert Ideal（外向理想型）": successful people take risks and always voice their opinion, whether or not they know what they're doing. The problem is that people value this ideal so much that they often ignore meaningful opinions from the quieter introverts. Isn't there something problematic about having to get our thoughts out before we finish thinking about them?

Over-stressing the Extrover t Ideal can lead to unwise decisions. In one case, several introverts, who tend to be more careful and think more, pointed out warning signals before the economic downturn of 

2008. But the decision makers — often the bold, risk-taking types —ignored their opinion. People say introverts often overthink every decision. Yes, maybe we think before we speak. But is that really so bad?

Of course, social skills are important for everyone. But the misunderstanding about how introverts work creates a cultural bias（偏见）. Required class participation at school often leads to students shouting out whatever thoughts come to their mind, too pressured by their participation grade to take the time and think of a meaningful response. During the Covid-19quarantine, some of my classes started using Parlay, a website that allows for discussions through anonymous（匿名的） written comments. I saw that many of my classes were able to have deeper conversations this way, freed from the pressures of having to speak up on the spot. So encouraging a balanced variety of learning methods can reduce the existing bias. 

Society seems to think only the loud and outgoing ones can make a difference. But Rosa Parks was known for being "soft spoken" and "timid. " Gandhi said, "In a gentle way, you can shake the world. " So please, give us introverts a chance to change the world in our own quiet way!
