Logging for chopsticks
BEIJING -- China's growing environmental consciousness has hit the heart of its culture, with the government yesterday announcing a 5 percent tax on disposable wooden chopsticks.
The Finance Ministry said chopstick production used up China's forests at a rate of 70 million cubic feet a year, a waste that it wanted to discourage. http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/20060323-121845-3811r.htm
