Many
cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of
production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have
contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of
glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are
difficult to get rid of.
However,
today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the
products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a
product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the
environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A
recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental
safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now
change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are
“green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only
a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but
now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some
companies have made the manufacturing (生产)
of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in
their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is
making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept
the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public
pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
