     Restaurant owners should not use disposable chopsticks for the good of their health and the

environment, an official of the China Cuisine Association (中国烹饪协会) said.

     Bian Jiang, its secretary general, recently called on restaurant owners to say no to one-off tableware

(餐具), especially wooden chopsticks. "The country produces and throws away over 45 billion pairs of

wooden chopsticks every year, at a cost to the environment of about 25 million tree." Bian said.

      "That's a heavy blow to the county's shrinking forests," he said, "We should not turn a deaf ear to the

call for environmental protection. We should stop using disposable tableware from now on."

      In order to discourage the use of wooden chopsticks and to protect wooden resources, the government

put a 5% tax on them in April.

     The use of disposable chopsticks has been discussed for years. Their supporters say that both restaurant

owners and consumers prefer them, and that an industry has grown up around their production.
