Everyone has a cup of take-out coffee a day, which creates a lot of rubbish for the earth. If you can't reduce the waste of paper cups, you might as well let the paper cups be reused. A new team in California has come up with a plan to reduce the waste of coffee cups-cups that can be planted. Soak the used paper cup in water, then bury it in the soil, let the seeds embedded in the cup fiber bring new life temporarily in spring. If consumers choose to throw it away directly, it doesn't matter. This paper cup can be used as a natural fertilizer and decompose naturally within 180 days. The cafe where you choose to use this special cup will place recycling bins that specially collect discarded paper cups. People in nearby communities can receive these recyclables to grow plants and green the environment for the community.
