Saving

All Chinese are discussing one thing

That is the garbage classification!

From Shanghai to 46 cities across the country

It seems that the classification of garbage is on the agenda.

Maybe some people are still complaining about this policy.

But still have to say:

The "war" of garbage sorting

Already imminent

1

Why is China so eager to engage in garbage sorting?

Because China

Is a big garbage producer

As early as 2004, China has surpassed the United States.

Become the world's No. 1 garbage manufacturing country

China's current national household waste

The annual output is about 400 million tons

And increasing at an annual rate of about 8%

September 16, 2018

Hong Kong Xinghua New Town

The first floor of the mall was submerged by the inverted seawater.

A lot of garbage was washed into the mall

Piled up on the escalator

In Hong Kong, typhoon-induced seawater infusion

Washing a lot of garbage from the ocean into the city

Many low-lying places

Become a garbage kingdom

Sea water by typhoon

Garbage dumping humans in the sea

Thousand tons of land have returned

Dense, plastic everywhere, shocking

These garbage discarded daily do not disappear

There will always be another day

Appear in everyone's life

May be the wind blowing, the water I drink

Pigs, cattle and sheep that feed on garbage

Produced meat dairy products

Is planted on landfills

Organic vegetables and fruits...

Why is China so eager to engage in garbage sorting?

Prohibition of importing "foreign garbage" from January 1, 2018

Implementing waste sorting in Shanghai on July 1, 2019

Not only is Shanghai very urgent

The whole of China is very anxious

The most fundamental reason is

We have been poorly handled by garbage for so many years.

And paid a heavy environmental and health cost

There is a village in the south

In the past, there was a garbage mountain with a height of more than two meters behind the village.

Poisonous rot and dirty water penetrate underground

Polluting people's drinking water

As long as it is used locally

No one can escape the garbage

Erosion of the body...

So this village of only 400 people

Many villagers died of cancer in 10 years

Many media including CCTV

--"Cancer villages"

And currently solve the problem of garbage mountain

One of the choices is to replace the landfill with incineration.

But when it comes to building a garbage incineration plant

The local people are almost talking about the tiger

Dioxin pollutants caused by waste incineration

Is one of the deadliest toxic substances on the planet

Long-distance diffusion after discharge

Once in the body

Will stay for a long time

Eventually carcinogenic

According to relevant information

Dioxin pollutant toxicity

It is equivalent to 900 times that of arsenic.

1000 times potassium cyanide

And Chinese garbage is not classified

At least double the toxic substances

Garbage classification

Is hoping to cause garbage disposal

Garbage pollution, water pollution, air pollution...

drop to lowest

Why is China so eager to engage in garbage sorting?

Because maybe a garbage

Will lead to the extinction of marine life

About 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year.

All add up to 420 laps around the earth

More than 50 species of fish were found

Edible plastic garbage

At least 1 billion marine life each year

Lost life due to plastic products

We are all at your fingertips

Murder

This seal has been dead

Did not take off the plastic ring on the mouth

A small sea lion that is suffocated by a plastic bag.

A powerless mother can only watch it die.

Turtles that were starved to death by accidentally drilling into plastic sleeves

These thrown into the ocean

Plastic waste takes 400 years to degrade

For marine life

It’s a lifetime

Their living space is occupied by garbage

Food is filled with garbage

If no change is made

Death extinction is their only ending

Why is China so eager to engage in garbage sorting?

Because you are not in a hurry

The next turn is us

Researcher at the University of Vienna pointed out

Estimated more than half of the world's population

Can be found in the body

- plastic particles

You think you are safe

Actually you are like the marine life

But they are a whole piece of plastic

And your body is plastic particles

"The big fish eat small fish,

Small fish eat shrimp,

Shrimp eats mud"

Silt is where microbes gather

Under the ring

Not just fish

There are also turtles, whales, birds, etc.

More than 200 species

Ingested plastic particles to varying degrees

Discarded from us

Go back to our stomach again

Plastics complete a perfect cycle along the biochain

"For our planet

Biggest threat

I believe that there will be others to save it.  ”

But no one can save our home.

Except ourselves

Winning this "war" must be difficult and long

But we are duty-bound
