A new restaurant in Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty

3.(8分)A new restaurant in Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than ﹩25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.
    The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery ﹣ Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.
    What makes the restaurant unusual, aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community's solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non﹣degradable plastics.
    "I think we recycle 1 tonne of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn't pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding," said Saimin. "It benefits everyone."
    The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between ﹩0.40 and ﹩0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to ﹩15 a day.
    "I'm happy to see our customers enjoying their meals," Sarimin told NHK World. "The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance as much as possible."
