During the recent years, people are all concerned about the serious environment pollution and trying to find out the efficient ways to solve the problem.And even the kids are aware of the importance of protecting the environment. More and more kids in the kindergartens are taught by teachers that plastic waste should be classified and thrown into different rubbish bins. If there is a small triangle mark at the bottom of the plastic products, it means they can be recycled. And this kind of plastic rubbish should be put in the yellow rubbish bins.
According to the environment protection report, people can produce 9.2 kilograms of garbage a week on average per person. Each family produces 23.6 kg garbage on average with the recycling rate of 46.5%. Compared with the previous report, the rate decreased slightly by 0.5%. Government spent billions of money every year in dealing with household waste.With the rising population, the government shall spend more in dealing with the waste.
When talking about garbage classification,many people may think that as long as the garbage is thrown into the trash bin,there’s nothing else to think about the trash.In fact, the plastic garbage can result in a terrible impact of the environment if people don’t classify and recycle the rubbish properly or continue to bury a large number of discarded food.
The survey data shows that the plastic waste can cause damage if they are buried in the ground. The nutrients can penetrate into the surrounding environment and contaminate the ground water.In addition, after the plastic waste and the discarded food is partly degraded, they can produce the gas which mainly consists of methane.This kind of gas is the main cause of the greenhouse effect and global warming. Recycling or reuse is very important for people to reduce the impact of waste. With more and more different types of plastic resources can be recycled and reused, the demand of landfill is decreasing and greenhouse gas emission is gradually reducing.
Food waste can be recycled,the biggest benefit is that the amount of the waste can be reduced by 50 to 60% every week.The waste can be made into nutritious, natural and organic fertilizers for indoor potted, fruit trees in the garden or vegetable gardens.Plastic waste can be processed by various kinds of recycling machines such as compactors and melting machines.The waste can be manufactured into renewable products such as decorative frames and EPS particles.People all should take actions to protect the environment and reduce the pollution.
