意大利的一个咖啡书店的老板发起了一项“塑料瓶/铝罐换书”倡议,让孩子们用废旧的塑料瓶或者铝罐来换图书!这样既能保护环境也能让孩子们爱上读书!
A bookseller in southern Italy is offering free books to schoolchildren who bring him one plastic bottle and one aluminum can to recycle. Michele Gentile founded the Ex Libris Cafe bookshop in Polla, a small town near Salerno. “My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment. I hope the initiative becomes so popular that it affects the whole country. It will be revolutionary, not only for the planet but also for the education of children,” he said.
The books being donated for the initiative are the so-called “suspended books” , a concept introduced by Gentile a few years ago that earned him headlines in national media. The term was from the “suspended coffee” Neapolitan tradition, born during World War II, of purchasing two coffees: one for yourself and the second one as a gift for the next customer in need who walks into the bar. Similarly, Ex Libris customers can buy one book and leave the second one “suspended” for whomever needs it.
The idea for the “plastic/metal for books” recycling initiative came to Gentile while he was looking at a huge pile of metallic waste left abandoned on a field. “It was worth at least 300-400 euros ($338-$451), enough to pay for a middle school kid’s book allowance for a year,” he said. “So, I talked to a local school, and they organized an aluminum collection. Results were extraordinary, about $564 in two days.” With the money he got from the recycling center, Gentile bought books for a whole class.
