Do you often like to use disposable（一次性的） chopsticks when eating out? It’s time to drop this habit.

China products（生产） 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks every year. “This is enough to cover Tian’anmen Sqaure 363 times,” said Bai Guangxin, chairman of Jilin Forest Industry Group, at the National People’s Congress on March 8.

The government has made some rules to limit（限制）the use of disposable chopsticks. However, there are still many being produced.

“The production of such chopsticks is a heavy burden on national forests,” Bai added. A total of 20 million 20-year-old trees would have to be cut down to make way for this annual production.

Bai called on people to bring their own chopsticks whenever they are eating out. “We first need to bring a change to people’s eating habits and encourage everyone to carry their own chopsticks around.” He also said that there may be technology that can turn wild grass into disposable chopsticks in the future.

There are many advantages of becoming a professional musician. The biggest advantage is being able to do something you love. You will have the chance to travel to many different places and meet a lot of different people. That will open up your eyes.

However, there are also disadvantages of being a professional musician. One of the biggest disadvantages for most musicians is that they don’t always have enough money. Most of the time, you will be looking for jobs. Sometimes you won’t be able to find a good job. Another disadvantage is the place you live in. If you want to be a musician, you usually have to move to an area that has a lot of jobs, such as New York City. The cost of living in these areas is usually very high. The third disadvantage is that you can’t have a stable (不稳定的) family life. Different jobs will take a musician to different places, so most musicians are unable to have a regular (正常的) family.
