According to data collected by the World Bank Group, nations are on pace to produce 4 billion tons of waste every year by 2100. Many experts are calling the problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis（危机）because it is ruining the worlds oceans, air and soil and endangering the health of all living things.For years, governments have been telling people that living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go. One example of this is whats often called the three Rs: reduce, reuse recycle. In that case, less money is spent on waste management. Such positive effects on an economy（经济）as a result of applying the basic rules of reduce, reuse and recycle-is known as a circular economy.Now some stores are helping people do that. Sometimes, grocery stores produce waste when they throw away food including fruit and vegetables that dont look good any more.In other cases, its packaged food that is nearing the sell-by date printed on the package which is not considered safe to eat. To solve this problem, business people are opening smaller zero-waste stores. Instead of selling food in packages, these stores offer it in open containers. Customers bring their own bags or clean containers to the store. There, they fill their bags or containers with everything from nuts and rice to oil and sauce. They pay for only the amount of each product that they need. Zero-waste stores often sell fruit and vegetables as well. When these goods start to look old, theyre sold at a discount or donated to a charity Inspired by these smaller zero-waste stores, some large supermarkets are taking similar steps to reduce the amount of waste that they produce.By following a circular system, more products than ever are being produced using recycled materials. For example, used tires（轮胎）can be recovered to pave roads, while plastic is reused to make new plastic products. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to protect and save natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold.19 .
