14 环境：可口可乐试用纸质包装瓶-初中英语时事主题阅读天天练

Date ______________ time __________________ Plastic is a big problem for the world. It is causing a lot of damage to our environment. It is polluting rivers and oceans and harming and killing wildlife. Plastic is a growing problem because it takes hundreds of years to break down. Many companies around the world are trying to replace plastic with other things. Coca-Cola has teamed up with a Danish start-up called the Paper Bottle Company ("Paboco" for short) to make a paper bottle. Coca-Cola hopes to completely stop using plastic for its drinks bottles. It was ranked as the world's number one plastic polluter in 2019. In one year, it uses around three million tons of plastic packaging. A lot of this is not recycled. Paboco asked us to:“Imagine that all plastic packaging in your store has disappeared.” Coca-Cola executives are imagining this. One Coca-Cola exec. said: “Our vision is to create a paper bottle that can be recycled like any other type of paper. A paper bottle opens up a whole new world of packaging possibilities. We are convinced that paper packaging has a role to play in the future.” He added that he hopes Coca-Cola will one day use only packaging from renewable sources that are recyclable. He said: ”This is all part of our journey to find the most sustainable packaging solutions for people to enjoy our drinks in a way that is right for them, and that is right for our planet.” 读后来闯关 1、 阅读短文，找出左边列出的词汇，然后进行选择。 1. causing a.
