A bag of coffee grounds, an environmental protection lesson, the use of coffee grounds

When I went to the IKEA store in Nanjing on the weekend, there was a long line in front of the coffee machine in the hall on the third floor. As the queue approached, a tip on the coffee machine attracted the attention of reporters: "Dear customers, if you need coffee grounds, you can get it for free from the restaurant staff. Let's work together to practice sustainable development." The tips also introduce many clever uses of coffee grounds-removing odors, removing greasy, wiping stubborn stains, and being a nutritious soil for acidic plants.

The reporter immediately found a staff member and asked to take a bag of coffee grounds with him. The staff immediately scooped a large bag full of coffee grounds and gave it to the reporter, saying that the reporter was the first customer to ask her for coffee grounds in recent years.

A small bag of coffee grounds caused a lot of reflection by reporters. Someone in the environmental protection circle once said, "there is no garbage, only misplaced resources." This is true of coffee grounds, and so are other waste goods. Circular economy is not only a "high-tech" high-tech, but also a conscious act of circulation in daily life. Thinking of the garbage sorting work promoted by Nanjing in recent years, if everyone can take the initiative to sort the garbage like taking away a bag of coffee grounds, how can it lead to the high environmental protection cost of centralized treatment?

I hope that one day, there will be as many people asking for coffee grounds in front of the coffee machine as there are people waiting in line to get coffee.
