Question

【题目】 David Katz was sad about all the plastic(塑料)going into seas. To help stop the problem, he had an unusual idea -the “Plastic Bank”

Mr. Katz believes that one of the main reasons for plastic going into seas is that people think plastic is worthless. In poor countries, people are working so hard just to get enough food to eat, to find a place to live, and to keep themselves healthy. They don’t have time to recycle(回收利用) plastic.

The "Plastic Bank "helps the poor people solve their problems with food, houses, and health. When people recycle plastic, "Plastic Bank " pays them for recycling it

The program began in 2015 in Haiti, a poor island nation with big problems with plastic. Haiti doesn't have good programs for recycling. People just throw away plastic. It runs in rivers and seas.

“Plastic Bank” opened about 30“markets”in Haiti. At Plastic Bank markets, people can exchange(交换) the plastic they collected for money or other things they need.

The “Plastic Bank” has programs in Haiti, the Philippines, and Brazil. In the Philippines, the “Plastic Bank” works to create “Plastic Bank markets” at 1, 000 gas stations around the country.

So far(到目前为止)，the “Plastic Bank” has kept about 7 million pounds of plastic out of seas.
