"I'm starving after working all morning. Peter, let's go out for lunch."


"Why don't we just order some takeouts?"


"Darling, before that, may I ask you a question?"

"Go on." said Peter.

"Do you know how many people order takeouts every day?"


"I have no idea."


"A report shows that a takeout platform has at least 18 million orders per day."


"So much! And I guess these orders must cause a lot of garbage."


"What's more, plastic waste has been found even at the deepest seabed."


"God, it's awful!"


"You know what? Many animals eventually died of eating a lot of garbage by mistake."


"I don't want to be an earth killer.But it's really convenient to order takeouts."
