英國環保新政策：外帶咖啡要課「拿鐵稅」

00:10
Britain wants to start a levy of 25pence (±NTD10) on disposable coffee cups. It wants to encourage recycling, as people in the UK throw away 2.5 billion cups each year.

Starbucks says they will start with a 5pence charge in London.

00:29
One member of parliament said that the levy will push people to use reusable cups. Coffee companies may also start to work with companies that make recyclable coffee cups.

00:39
Some people on the street say that they will pay 5pence if there will be more recycling.

00:44
Regular cardboard coffee cups have a layer of plastic to make them waterproof and that plastic is difficult to separate from the cardboard.

00:53
Britain currently recycles only 0.25% of cups and only 3 recycling plants are able to separate the plastic from the paper.

The members of parliament hope that the levy will be as successful as a similar levy that was made for using plastic bags.
