Did you know?
China, which produces 1.4 million tons of garbage every day!Assuming that a 5-ton truck is allowed to load this garbage, it will take about 280,000 trips to transport it!
Beijing produces garbage 2 in a day60,000 tons, you can circle the earth three times!The amount of manure and household waste produced in the world is as high as 8.5 million tons every day!
Take a look at these shocking numbers!We throw garbage in the trash almost every day, but we don't know what happens to it!What is the impact of the garbage created by us humans on the earth!At present, the waste created by human activities far exceeds the maximum of the earth's self-purification capacity, which in turn causes many environmental problemsTherefore, for the sake of the global environment, in order to be able to leave blue skies and white clouds, green waters and green mountains for future generations, it is urgent to implement and practice garbage classification!
China began to promote garbage classification on July 1, 2019, and Shanghai is the first pilot city in China to officially implement garbage classification. On December 6, 2019, garbage classification was selected as one of the "Top Ten Popular Words in China in 2019". At present, garbage is mainly divided into four categories: garbage, kitchen waste, hazardous garbage, and other garbage.
Garbage, that is, renewable resources, mainly includes waste paper, plastics, glass, metals and fabrics. For example: newspapers, wrapping paper, books, soy sauce bottles, beverage bottles, cans, glass bottles, milk cartons, milk tea cups, clothes, etc. Nowadays, many cities have second-hand clothing stations, and there are also reports on the news about the collection of waste by post-90s female college students!The waste industry has made a great contribution to our society!
Kitchen waste, including leftovers, expired food, chicken feet and other small bones, melon peels, fruit pits, flowers and plants, etc., is composted by biotechnology on-site, and can produce 06~0.7 tons of organic fertilizer.
Hazardous waste refers to the substances in domestic waste that cause direct or potential harm to human health or the natural environment, including batteries, fluorescent tubes, light bulbs, mercury thermometers, paint buckets, some household appliances, expired drugs and their containers, expired cosmetics, etc. This waste is generally disposed of separately or in landfills.
Other garbage, including bricks, tiles, ceramics, muck, toilet waste paper, paper towels and other difficult wastes, food bags (boxes) in addition to the above types of garbage. Sanitary landfills can effectively reduce pollution of groundwater, surface water, soil and air.
Do you think that environmental protection issues are far away from us?But saving water and electricity in daily life, turning off the lights at your fingertips, using air conditioners less, and turning off the faucets are all things that each of us can do and we can all do, isn't it?And of course, garbage sorting!The purpose of sorting is to dispose of garbage in a more targeted manner, so as to minimize the pollution to the environment
Do you know how garbage is sorted?Let's practice it together!
