What are the benefits of daily garbage classification?

The benefits of garbage classification are obvious. After the garbage is sorted, it is sent to the factory instead of the landfill, which not only saves land, but also avoids the pollution caused by landfill or incineration, and can also turn waste into treasure.

Garbage classification is no stranger to the Chinese who have always been diligent and thrifty. Maybe you still remember the scene of waste recycling in the 1950s and 1960s: toothpaste peels were collected and recycled, orange peels were used to make medicines, biological waste was used for composting, scrap cloth heads, ink bottles, etc. can be reused after classification, both It avoids garbage pollution and provides raw materials for industry and agriculture.

In the United States, known as a major waste-producing country, garbage classification has gradually penetrated into the lives of citizens. Walking on the street, a variety of colorful classified trash cans can be seen everywhere.

The government provides various convenient conditions for garbage classification. In addition to setting up classified trash cans on both sides of the street, each community regularly assigns dedicated personnel to remove the garbage sorted by each household.

Residents also expressed great support for the government’s garbage classification work. This is not only reflected in the fact that each of them is familiar with the knowledge of garbage classification; but also, paying for garbage classification and processing here is as natural as paying for clean tap water to drink.

Garbage recycling as an industry has developed rapidly. In many developed countries, the recycling industry is occupying an increasingly important position in the national industrial structure. Take Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond, three cities in the United States, as an example. In the past, it cost US$40 to process 1 ton of garbage. After sorting and processing, the recycled garbage created 5,100 jobs in 1995. These three cities in the United States are just a small area. Their garbage recycling not only saves the cost of garbage disposal, but also creates a wealth of US$500 million.

Garbage classification is not only a fashion in developed countries like the United States, but also a trend in many developing countries. In Brazil, many communities have implemented garbage classification. The mayor regards the classified garbage bins at the main entrance of the city hall as the glory of the city. On the more than 20 nearby beaches, the sorting bins are more like a beautiful landscape.

In some places in the Philippines, villagers have organized themselves to work hard to clean their living environment. Garbage classification is the main content of this movement.

Whether it is a poor country or a rich country, garbage classification is becoming a global trend. However, in China, which was once the world leader in this aspect, this good tradition has almost been lost.

Others learned to pick up from us, but we learned to throw from others. As our lives improve, we no longer be stingy with the few cents we get from selling junk, and would rather throw it away as rubbish. Diligence, thrift and waste utilization are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation
