In a park in Beijing, the governor has tried saving toilet paper to stop people from stealing(偷窃) it. Park officials have installed(安装) six facial recognition scanners at the city's Temple of Heaven Park. The machines will scan someone's face before providing him or her with 60 cm of toilet paper. The same person will then have to wait for nine minutes if they want extra paper. A park spokesman says there is a problem that visitors to the toilets take too much toilet paper. He says some people come and fill their bags with it. The park has put up posters and broadcast messages over speakers asking visitors to use less toilet paper.
The new facial recognition scanners have brought a surprise. They have become a tourist attraction. Visitors are now coming to look at and try out the machines. Videos of people pulling strips of toilet paper from the machines have spread quickly on social media sites. Workers are available to help people with problems using the machines or for people who urgently need more toilet paper. The scanners seem to be popular. A user on the Chinese social media site Weibo said, "This is a really good idea. I think that it should be rolled out in toilets all over the county." The effort appears to be successful so far. The daily amount of toilet paper used in the park's toilets has gone down by 20 percent.
