What is the connection between the kitchen and the moon cup?

It is said that a certain political party recently held a press conference with the ring group to provide the government with advice on restricting the use of disposable diapers and feminine hygiene products, otherwise it will produce 200,000 tons of garbage every year . On the day I saw the news, in fact, I just glanced at the title and photos, and saw the female representative of the group speaking with a microphone. The first reaction at that time was:

So are these women all menopause? As for diapers, are they sure that they will not be able to use their own bags for adults in the future?

Because I was busy writing the outline of the speech, and searching the database to find Ukiyo-e, when I had time to read the report, there was already a lot of scolding on the river channel of Facebook.

Then I remembered that a few years ago, the moon cup just aroused discussion in Taiwan, and there were many people in the circle of friends who wanted to try this environmentally friendly option. At first, some people said that you don’t need to change the cotton and cotton when you go out all day every day. After returning home, just take off the cup and replace it with another one. Still using cotton may sound out of touch with the times.

I think this way because, as a person I can do environmental protection, I absolutely don’t want to create pollution. For example, when I go abroad, I will bring my own cutlery and reusable bags. The convenience store asks me to give me plastic bags and cutlery, but I say I don’t need it; in China, the store offers me straws and plastic bags, but I also say I don’t need it; I also bring my own thermos for coffee.

So, listening to the circle of friends always discussing the advantages of cups, I did my homework online. However, after doing your homework, you will know that there are still many eyebrows to consider when choosing a cup. It is not that others think it is easy to use, but it is easy to use on yourself. This involves individual physiological flow, differences in organ or brand, and pre- and post-use handling. For example, someone can go out and go home without changing the cup, but not everyone can use a cup to the end.

Buy a cup that is not cheap. You have to put it on to know if it is suitable for your own use. You must also consider the preservation during non-physiological periods and the boiling and disinfection before and after use. Thinking of this, I gave up the idea of following the trend. It is better to be cautious about privacy products, and continue to use cotton wool! Then, in the middle of the night one day, such a scene appeared in my kitchen.

Everyone was asleep, the headlights were on in the empty kitchen, the gas stove was on, and there was a small single-handed pot that was often used to cook instant noodles. There was a moon cup being boiled in the pot, and the water was almost dry. , Cup Cup is also a little burnt, but the owner of Cup Cup seems to be asleep.

At the moment, I turned off the fire quietly, and then the owner of Cup Cup should have come to clean it up. Since then, I can no longer see the shadow of cups in my house, and before that, I have not cooked instant noodles at home for a long time, and I will not cook instant noodles at home since then. After all, the owner of Cup Cup was the one who was wrong. I felt that the pot for cooking instant noodles and the pot for cooking Cup Cup could be shared, and I was really puzzled.

For the sake of the environment, the starting point of using cups is good, and the convenience of cups is also very good, but it is not difficult to buy a special boiling appliance. As for the circle of friends who were excited to promote Cup Cup in the past, they hardly heard them mention Cup Cup in the past two years. Instead, after the news was released, they scolded Huan Tuan in unison.
