Five volunteers from Greenpeace, an international environmental NGO, took to the street in Beijing Thursday for an environmental campaign they launched against disposable chopsticks that a big majority of local restaurants are still using.

Shanghai-based Web site Eastday.com reported that volunteers wearing T-shirts that are printed with "Let's say No to disposable chopsticks!", gathered Thursday in front of a Japanese invested fast food chain restaurant named "Mian-ai-Mian," or Crazy Noodles, at the city's eastern Chaoyang district in a silent protest against its continual use of such environmentally damaging chopsticks.

The volunteers have urged Crazy Noodles' all fast food chains to stop using disposable chopsticks to protect China's forest resources.
