If you ask your restaurant waiter to skip the plastic straw（吸管）at dinner, you keep one item out of the rubbish. But if a restaurant can stop handing out plastic straws to every diner, it is a much bigger different! Here’s how to ask your favorite restaurant to reduce single-use plastic.
Write A Letter Introduction
Tell the business owner how much you enjoy going there. Do you have a favorite dish or dessert they serve? Let them know! Then mention the plastic item you have seen on a recent visit，such as a straw or a bag.
Explain the problem with plastic
You could ask a restaurant to hand out plastic straws only if a customer wants them, or ask an ice-cream shop to change plastic spoon to a recyclable one. End your letter by thanking the business owner for reading. Mail your letter or drop it off in person next time you visit.
Speak Up
Speak face-to-face with a manager about plastic, whether you are dropping off your letter or just visiting the restaurant. Remember, you need to pay attention to your manners while talking.
Politely ask your waiter if you can speak to the restaurant manager.
Shake the manager’s hand and look him in the eye when you talk to him. Tell him why you enjoy coming to the restaurant. Give one fact about the plastic pollution problem and then provide your suggestion. If you bring your letter, hand it over to the manager. Thank them for their time.
