Why is China in such a hurry to classify garbage?

Because China is a large garbage producing country, as early as 2004, China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest garbage producing country. At present, the annual output of domestic waste in China is about 400 million tons, increasing at a rate of about 8% per year. On September 16, 2018, the first floor of Xinghua New Town Mall in Hong Kong was flooded by the poured seawater, and a large amount of garbage was washed into the mall and piled at the escalator entrance. In Hong Kong, the seawater pouring caused by the typhoon washed a large amount of garbage from the sea into many low-lying places in the city and became a garbage kingdom. The sea has returned tons of garbage dumped in the sea by typhoon. It is densely covered with plastic everywhere. It is shocking that these daily discarded garbage have not disappeared and will always appear in other forms in everyone's life one day. It may be the wind blowing, the water drinking is garbage fed pigs, cattle and sheep, the meat and dairy products produced are organic vegetables and fruits planted on the landfill & hellip& hellip;

The import of 'foreign garbage' will be prohibited from January 1, 2018. By July 1, 2019, the implementation of waste classification in Shanghai is urgent not only in Shanghai, but also in China. The most fundamental reason is that we have paid a heavy environmental cost due to poor waste treatment over the years The cost of health is in Yuanfeng village, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. Behind the past village, there is a garbage mountain more than meters above sea level. The highly toxic rotten matter and dirty water penetrate into the ground and pollute the water source of people's life and drinking. As long as the water is used locally, no one can escape the erosion of garbage poisons on the body & hellip& hellip; Therefore, in this village with only 400 people, many villagers died of cancer in the past 10 years, which was dubbed "cancer village" by many multimedia including CCTV. At present, one of the options to solve the problem of garbage mountain is to use incineration instead of landfill. But when it comes to building waste incineration sites, people everywhere are almost pale at the talk, because the dioxin pollutants brought by waste incineration are one of the most deadly toxic substances on earth. After discharge, it can spread over a long distance. Once it enters the human body, it will stay for a long time and eventually cause cancer. According to relevant data, the toxicity of dioxin pollutants is equivalent to 900 times that of arsenic and 1000 times that of potassium cyanide. However, China's garbage has not been classified, and toxic substances have at least doubled. Garbage classification is in the hope of garbage pollution, water pollution and air pollution caused by garbage treatment & hellip& hellip; Minimize

Why is China in such a hurry to classify garbage?

Because a piece of garbage may lead to the extinction of marine life. About 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean every year, all of which can circle the earth 420 times. More than 50 kinds of fish are found eating plastic waste, and at least 1 billion marine organisms lose their lives due to plastic products every year. When we throw it away, we murder wild seals trapped by artificial plastic garbage. They are strangled to deformed turtles by plastic rings. A swan lives in a nest made of garbage with its young birds. The bird that mistakenly uses garbage as food is wrapped around its neck and mouth. The seal failed to take off the plastic ring on its mouth until death. The suffocating little sea lion is wrapped in a plastic bag, The helpless mother could only watch it die. Sea Turtles who accidentally get into plastic cases and starve to death. These plastic wastes thrown into the sea take 400 years to degrade. It is a lifelong thing for marine organisms and their living space. Occupied by garbage, food filled with garbage. If nothing is changed, death and extinction is their only outcome

Because we're not in a hurry. It's our turn next. Researchers at the University of Vienna pointed out that it is estimated that more than half of the world's population can be found in their bodies - plastic particles. Do you think you are safe? In fact, you are just like those marine creatures, except that their bodies are a whole piece of plastic, and your bodies are plastic particles. 'big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud' mud is the place where microorganisms gather. Linked together, not only fish, but also more than 200 species such as turtles, whales and birds eat plastic particles to varying degrees. From being discarded by us to returning to our stomach again, plastic has completed a perfect cycle along the biological chain. 'the biggest threat to our earth is to believe that someone else will save it.' But in fact, no one can save our home except ourselves. Winning this' War 'must be difficult and long, but we are duty bound.
