Information about green environmental protection should be simple

1. Be proud - turn off the faucet at any time and don’t let the water flow empty

Our country is one of the 12 water-poor countries in the world, and its freshwater resources are less than the world’s per capita water supply. 1/4. More than half of the country's more than 600 cities are short of water, and 108 of them are seriously short of water. The scarcity of surface water resources has resulted in excessive exploitation of groundwater. In the 1950s, wells in Beijing could produce water about 5 meters below the surface. Now the average depth of 40,000 wells in Beijing is 49 meters, and groundwater resources are nearly exhausted.

2. Guard water sources - protecting water sources is protecting life

According to environmental monitoring, about 100 million tons of sewage are directly discharged into water bodies across the country every day. The water quality of more than half of the seven major river systems in the country is polluted. Among the 35 key lakes, 17 are seriously polluted, and one-third of the country's water bodies are unsuitable for irrigation. More than 90% of urban waters are seriously polluted, more than 50% of urban water sources do not meet drinking water standards, and 40% of water sources are no longer drinkable. 60%-70% of the total water shortage in southern cities is caused by water source pollution.

3. Water for multiple purposes - let water be reused

70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, with about 1.4 billion cubic meters of water, of which 96.5 % is sea water. Although the rest is fresh water, more than half of it is directly usable water resources such as ice, rivers and lakes, accounting for only about 0.003% of the entire water volume.

4. Stop dripping - check and repair faucets

5. Use detergents with caution - use soap as much as possible to reduce water pollution

Most detergents It is a chemical product. Wastewater with high detergent content is discharged into rivers in large quantities, which will worsen the water quality. Improper use of detergents for a long time will damage the central system of the human body, hinder the intellectual development of the human being, reduce the thinking ability and analytical ability, and even cause mental disorders in severe cases. Remaining detergents on clothes will irritate the skin and cause allergic dermatitis. If detergents with higher concentrations are used for a long time, the carcinogens in the detergents will enter the human body through the skin and mouth, harming health.

6. Pay attention to the air quality - don’t forget that you are breathing all the time

The monitoring results of the Global Atmosphere Monitoring Network show that the five cities of Beijing, Shenyang, Xi’an, Shanghai and Guangzhou The daily average concentration of total suspended particulate matter in the city's atmosphere is 200-500 micrograms per cubic meter, which is 3-9 times higher than the World Health Organization standard. It is listed among the top ten most polluted cities in the world.

7. Turn off the lights - save - kilowatt-hour of electricity and reduce pollution

my country is a country dominated by thermal power generation and coal as the main energy source. Coal accounts for more than 70% of the primary energy structure. If developed in a conventional way, reaching the level of developed countries will require at least 10 billion tons of coal-equivalent energy consumption, which will be equivalent to the total global energy consumption. When coal is burned, it will release a large amount of harmful gases and seriously pollute the atmosphere. And form acid rain and cause the greenhouse effect.

8. Energy-saving appliances - contribute to slowing global warming

A large amount of coal, natural gas and petroleum fuels are used in industry, commerce, housing and transportation. The excess carbon dioxide produced when these fuels are burned acts like a glass cover, blocking the heat from the ground from radiating to outer space, trapping heat in the atmosphere, forming a "greenhouse effect" that causes global weather variability and produces catastrophic droughts. and flooding, and melting icebergs in the Arctic and Antarctic, causing sea levels to rise. Scientists estimate that if the trend of climate warming continues, lower-altitude places such as Bangladesh, the Netherlands, Egypt, low-lying deltas in China, and several island countries will be in danger of being engulfed by seawater.

9. Reduce the use of air conditioners - reduce energy consumption

When coal and other fuels are burned, carbon and nitrogen oxides are emitted in the form of gases, and these oxides mix with water vapor in the air After combining, they form highly corrosive sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall back to the ground together with rain, snow, and fog. This is acid rain, which is known as the "god of death in the air." There are three major acid rain regions in the world: the United States and Canada, the Nordic region, and southern China. Acid rain can not only strongly corrode buildings, but also acidify the soil, causing trees to die, crop yields to decrease, lake water quality to become acidic, and fish and shrimp to die. Due to the extensive use of coal fuel in our country, economic losses caused by acid rain pollution amount to about 20 billion yuan every year.

The acidity of precipitation in acid rain areas in my country is still rising and the area is still expanding.

10. Support green lighting - everyone uses energy-saving lamps

The "China Green Lighting Project" is one of the key points of energy conservation in our country. According to the project implementation plan, energy-saving and efficient lighting fixtures will be promoted throughout the country during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period. By the year 2000, we will strive to save 22 billion kilowatt-hours of lighting electricity, save coal in corresponding power plants, and reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dust, ash and carbon dioxide.

11. Utilize renewable resources - don’t wait until the day when energy is exhausted

90% of the energy currently used by humans is oil, natural gas and coal. The formation process of these fuels takes hundreds of millions of years and is a non-renewable resource. Solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, and geothermal energy are renewable and are called renewable energy sources. People refer to energy sources that do not pollute the environment as "clean energy."

12. Be a "bus person" - take pride in taking public transportation

There are nearly 1.2 million motor vehicles in Beijing, the capital of our country, only Tokyo and New York. 1/6 of urban motor vehicle ownership. However, the concentration of pollutants emitted by each vehicle is 3-10 times higher than similar foreign motor vehicles. 73% of hydrocarbons, 63% of carbon monoxide, and 37% of nitrogen oxides in Beijing’s atmosphere come from vehicle emissions.

13. Be a "bicycle hero" - protecting the atmosphere starts with a single step

In Europe, many people are willing to ride bicycles to work in order to reduce the air pollution caused by driving. people are respected as environmental champions. American newspapers often mobilize people to buy as many necessities as possible when shopping in supermarkets and reduce the number of trips to the supermarket in order to save gasoline and reduce air pollution. The influential American Cycling Association has been calling on the government to build bike lanes when building roads. In Germany, many families like to go out in the same car as their neighbors to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions. In order to clean the city's air, Tehran, the capital of Iran, has designated a "Selfless Car Day". On this day, the President of Iran also takes a bus to work with citizens. In Shanghai, my country, some company employees often share a taxi called "fighting".

14. Reducing tail steam emissions - the responsibility of the driver

The "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution" stipulates: Motor vehicles and ships shall not emit pollutants into the atmosphere exceeding According to the prescribed emission standards, control measures shall be taken for motor vehicles and ships that exceed the prescribed emission standards. Cars whose pollutant emissions exceed the national emission standards shall not be manufactured, sold or imported.

15. Use unleaded gasoline - the driver’s choice

Cars using leaded gasoline will emit lead through the exhaust. After these lead particles enter the human body through breathing, they will damage the human nervous system and accumulate in human bones; if they fall into the soil or rivers, they will be absorbed by various animals and plants and enter the human food chain. When lead accumulates in the human body to a certain extent, people will suffer from anemia, hepatitis, pneumonia, emphysema, angina, neurasthenia and other diseases.

16. Cherish paper - cherish forests and rivers

The surge in demand for paper is one of the reasons for the increase in wood consumption. The country's annual paper consumption consumes 10 million cubic meters of wood. More than 1.3 million tons of wood pulp and more than 4 million tons of paper are imported. How many trees will be cut down? The massive consumption of paper not only causes forest destruction, but also severely pollutes rivers and lakes due to the discharge of sewage from pulp production (the pollution caused by the paper industry accounts for more than 30% of the entire water pollution).

17. Use recycled paper - reduce deforestation

my country's forest coverage rate is only 1/4 of the world average. According to statistics, my country's forests have plummeted by 23% in 10 years, and the harvestable stock volume has decreased by 50%. Since the 1950s, the natural forests in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, have disappeared at a rate of about 16,000 hectares every year. The 55% original forest cover at that time has now been reduced by half.

18. Alternative New Year's cards - reducing the burden on the earth

The Japanese, who have a lot of etiquette, have also changed their habit of giving a large number of New Year's cards in recent years. Some large companies have advertised that they will no longer send greetings by mailing New Year's cards. College students in my country organized the "Reduce Cards and Save Trees" campaign, advocating saving money on greeting cards to plant trees and protect nature.

19. The new fashion of food saving - turning frugality into glory

my country has more than 130 million hectares of arable land, accounting for 7% of the world's arable land. The per capita cultivated land is less than 47% of the world average, and the per capita cultivated land in more than 600 counties (districts) in the east is lower than the 0.05 hectare warning line set by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

20. Control noise pollution - let us supervise each other

Noise will interfere with the normal life of residents and cause damage to people's hearing. Noise has a significant impact on the human nervous system and cardiovascular system. People who are exposed to noise for a long time will develop symptoms such as headache, brain swelling, palpitation, memory loss and fatigue. Low-frequency noise makes people feel chest tight and nauseated. Noise can also affect the digestive system and can lead to coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

21. Maintain a peaceful environment - let us start from ourselves

Germany stipulates that when using audio equipment indoors, the volume must be audible indoors. American law stipulates that the volume should be set in schools. Lessons on noise. British regulations prohibit the use of audio equipment in advertising, entertainment and commercial activities, and no audio equipment may be used in public places at night. Japan stipulates that the noise generated by night operations in the catering industry and the noise generated by the use of audio equipment for publicity is limited to limits; vehicles must not produce unnecessary noise that affects others, and unnecessary idling of cars is prohibited.

22. Recognize the "environmental label" - choose green food

The environmentally friendly products that have been certified by the China Green Label Certification Committee include low-fluorine household refrigeration appliances and fluorine-free hair dryer. Silk and styling hair spray, lead-free gasoline, cadmium-free mercury lead rechargeable batteries, phosphorus-free fabric detergents, low-noise washing machines, energy-saving fluorescent lamps, etc. These environmental label products are labeled with the "China Environmental Label" mark. The central structure of the logo is green mountains, green water, and the sun, which represent the environment in which human beings survive. The 10 rings on the outside represent the public's collective participation in protecting the environment.

23. Use fluorine-free products - protect the ozone layer

The ozone layer can absorb ultraviolet rays and protect people, animals and plants from harm. The chlorine atoms in Freon have a great destructive effect on the ozone layer. It can decompose ozone that absorbs ultraviolet rays and make the ozone layer thinner. Strong ultraviolet radiation can damage the immune function of humans and animals, induce skin cancer and cataracts, and destroy the ecosystem on the earth. In 1994, the largest ozone house hole so far was observed in Antarctica, covering an area of ??2,400 square kilometers. According to relevant data, crops have been damaged and animals in pastures have gone blind in southern Chile, which is located on the edge of the Antarctic ozone layer. The ozone layer over the Arctic is also thinning. At present, the 24 developed countries that were the first to use CFCs (Freon is a type of CFC substance) have signed the Montreal Protocol that restricts the use of CFCs. The 1990 amendment set the time for the ban on the use of CFCs in developed countries in 2000. . In February 1993, the Chinese government approved the China Ozone Depleting Substances Phase-out Plan, which determined that ozone-depleting substances would be completely phased out by 2010.

24. Choose phosphorus-free laundry detergent - protect rivers and lakes

Most of the laundry detergents produced in my country contain phosphorus. my country's annual output of washing powder is 2 million tons. Based on an average phosphorus content of 15%, more than 70,000 tons of phosphorus are discharged into surface water every year, which has a great impact on rivers and lakes. According to the survey, the total phosphorus content of Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake, and Xuanwu Lake is quite high. The phosphorus brought in by washing powder in Kunming's domestic sewage exceeds 50% of the total phosphorus load. When a large amount of phosphorus-containing sewage enters the water source, it will cause algae to grow wildly in the water, causing eutrophication of the water body. The oxygen content in the water will decrease, and aquatic organisms will die due to lack of oxygen. The water body has thus become stagnant and smelly water.

25. Buy environmentally friendly batteries - to prevent mercury and cadmium pollution

The batteries we use every day rely on chemical action, or, in lay terms, corrosion to produce electrical energy. The corrosion products contain a large amount of heavy metal pollutants - cadmium, mercury, manganese, etc. When they are abandoned in nature, these toxic substances slowly overflow from the batteries, enter the soil or water sources, and then enter the human food chain through crops. These toxic substances will accumulate in the human body for a long time and are difficult to eliminate, damaging the nervous system, hematopoietic function, kidneys and bones, and some can even cause cancer.

It can be said that batteries are discarded as much as they are produced; centralized production disperses pollution; short-term use leads to long-term pollution.

26. Choose green packaging - reduce garbage disasters

The weight of garbage thrown away by each person every day exceeds five or six times the average weight of the human body. Beijing produces 4.3 million tons of garbage annually and 12,000 tons daily. The average person throws out about 1 kilogram of garbage every day, which is equivalent to piling up two Jingshan mountains every year. The current amount of garbage generated in our country is four times that of 1989, and a large part of it is caused by excessive packaging. The packaging cost of many products, especially cosmetics and health products, accounts for 30% to 50% of the cost. Excessive packaging not only causes huge waste, but also increases the economic burden on consumers. It also increases the amount of garbage and pollutes the environment.

27. Recognize the green food logo - protect your own health

Currently, there are more than 300 green food production companies in the country, and more than 700 kinds of green food are developed and produced in accordance with green food standards. , the products involve various food categories such as beverages, sprinkles, fruits, dairy products, cereals, and breeding. Other green foods, such as whole wheat bread, fresh cereals, beans, mushrooms, etc., are also very beneficial to human health.

28. Buy pollution-free food - maintain the ecological environment

Sources of food pollution: First, industrial waste pollutes farmland, water sources and the atmosphere, causing harmful substances to accumulate in agricultural products; second, Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. remain in agricultural products; third, some chemical pigments and additives are improperly used in food processing; fourth, microbial contamination caused by improper storage and processing. Several years after pesticides on fruits and vegetables invade the human body, they will manifest themselves through cancer and disorders of the immune system, hormone secretion system and reproductive system.

29. Use less disposable products - save the earth's resources

Those "use and throw away" plastic bags not only cause a huge waste of resources, but also increase the amount of garbage dramatically. . The amount of plastic waste in our country is more than 1 million tons every year. If the average person in Beijing consumes one plastic bag per day, each bag weighs 4 grams, 4.4 grams of polyethylene film will be thrown away every day, and nearly 4.4 grams of raw materials alone will be thrown away. Ten thousand yuan. If these plastics were spread out, the area of ??plastic film discarded per person per year would reach 240 square meters. The plastic bags discarded by 10 million people in Beijing every year are twice the urban construction area.

30. Bring your own shopping bags - use less plastic bags

In Germany, many supermarkets do not provide plastic bags for free in order to reduce the use of plastic bags. When many Germans buy things, they are accustomed to carrying cloth bags or loading goods directly into the car without using plastic bags. Some housewives go shopping carrying huge rattan baskets in order to reduce the use of plastic bags. German hotels also do not provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, and slippers. Stainless steel knives and forks are used in restaurants and are sterilized at high temperatures before reuse.

31. Prepare your own lunch boxes - reduce white pollution

The environmental wave has caused the industry that produces disposable products to go downhill. Many countries are developing and producing degradable plastics, making them more popular in the industry. It can be dissolved in nature after use; some countries have eliminated the use of plastic and replaced it with special paper packaging. Many countries promote the reuse and recycling of packaging. Denmark and Germany stipulate that glass bottles containing beverages can be reused many times after being sterilized. One of the largest dairy factories in Sweden has launched a glass milk bottle that can be reused 75 times; some developed countries regard the manufacture of wooden pens as a "Sunset Industry" began to produce automatic pencils.

32. Use less disposable chopsticks - don’t let the forest turn into sawdust

Disposable chopsticks were invented by the Japanese. Japan’s forest coverage rate is as high as 65%, but they don’t Cutting down trees on your own land to make disposable chopsticks depends entirely on imports. Our country's forest coverage rate is less than 14%, but it is a major exporter of disposable chopsticks. The disposable chopstick industry in northern my country exports 1.5 million cubic meters to Japan and South Korea every year, reducing forest accumulation by 2 million cubic meters.

33. Making wise use of old things - extending the life of limited resources

The global and ecological crisis has forced people to consider abandoning the "shepherd boy economy" and accepting the "spaceship economy" concept.

The former treats nature as a place for grazing and discarding waste at will; the latter cherishes limited space and resources, just like life on a spaceship, going round and round and endlessly recycling various materials.

34. Exchange and donate excess items - idle waste, donation is glorious

35. Recycle waste plastics - develop the "second oil field"

A lot of waste Plastics can be reduced to recycled plastics, and all waste plastics - waste lunch boxes, food bags, woven bags, flexible packaging boxes, etc. can be recycled into fuel. One ton of waste plastic can recycle at least 600 kilograms of gasoline and diesel. No wonder some people call recycling old plastic the development of a "second oil field."

36. Recycle used batteries - to prevent the recurrence of tragedies

"Itai-Itai Disease" and "Minamata Disease" are both industrial pollution diseases that occurred in Japan. This is due to industrial wastewater containing cadmium or mercury contaminating soil and water sources and entering the human food chain. "Minamata disease" is mercury poisoning. Due to the accumulation of large amounts of methylmercury in the body, patients suffer damage to the central and peripheral nerves of the brain. In mild cases, the hands and feet are numb, and in severe cases, death. "Itai-itai disease" is caused by cadmium poisoning. Patients suffer from pain in their hands and feet and are prone to fractures throughout their bodies. People who suffer from this disease keep shouting "It hurts! It hurts!" until they die, so it is called "Itai-Itai disease". Since ordinary soil dry batteries contain these two toxic metal elements, pollution is always lurking in the battery from production to disposal. Battery recycling is imperative!

37. Recycling waste paper - regenerating forest resources

Recycling 1 ton of waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of good paper, which can save 17 trees and save 3 cubic meters of garbage. Landfill space can also save more than half of papermaking energy, reduce water pollution by 35%, and each piece of paper can be recycled at least twice. After the first recycling of office paper, old letter paper, notebooks, books, newspapers, advertising paper, packaging paper, cartons, paper tableware, etc., the paper can be recycled into books, manuscript paper, business cards, and business notes. paper etc. After the second recycling, it can also be made into toilet paper.

38. Recycling of biological waste - recycled green fertilizer

Garbage mixing treats garbage as waste, while garbage sorting treats garbage as resources; the mixed garbage is sent to Landfills occupy a large amount of land, and packaged garbage is distributed to various recycling departments without occupying land; mixed garbage will pollute the land and atmosphere whether it is landfilled or incinerated, while packaged garbage will promote waste disposal. Hazardous treatment; mixed garbage increases the work of the sanitation and environmental protection departments, and packaging garbage only requires a little effort on our part.

39. Recycle various wastes - all garbage can be turned into resources

Among Beijing’s domestic waste, about 180 tons of scrap metal can be recycled every day. Remaking aluminum from aluminum cans consumes 71% less energy than extracting aluminum from bauxite and reduces air pollution by 95%. Remaking glass from waste glass not only saves quartz sand, soda ash, feldspar powder, and coal, but also saves electricity. Reduce energy consumption by approximately 32%, reduce air pollution by 20% and water pollution by 50%. Recycling a glass bottle saves enough energy to keep a light bulb burning for 4 hours.

40. Promote garbage classification and recycling - defeat the pollution of garbage with a little effort

"Recycle" is a global trend and fashion. Classified trash cans can be seen everywhere in many countries. Recycling has become common sense among women and children. EU countries have been working hard to implement "zero pollution" economic plans since 1990; Germany began to implement circular economy and garbage laws, aiming to transform from a "throw away society" to a "waste-free society"; Austria formulated regulations to require that by 2000 The waste recycling rate reaches 80%; France requires the recycling of 75% of packaging, and stipulates that only waste that cannot be reprocessed is allowed to be landfilled; Sweden's new regulations require producers to be responsible for the waste generated by their products and disposable packaging. Responsibility for recycling; some U.S. state governments have enacted local regulations on recycling since 1987.

41. Refuse to eat wild animals - change bad eating habits

In the age of dinosaurs, one animal became extinct on average only every 1,000 years; before the 20th century, about every 4 years on the earth One animal became extinct; approximately 40,000 species now become extinct every year. In the past 150 years, 80 species of birds have become extinct; in the past 50 years, nearly 40 species of mammals have become extinct.

In the past 100 years, the rate of species extinction has exceeded 1,000 times its natural extinction rate, and this rate is still increasing.

42. Refuse to use wild animal and plant products - don’t let endangered lives die in your hands

Biodiversity: First, it refers to the diversity of ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, Wetlands, farmland, etc.; the second is species diversity, that is, there are tens of millions of biological species in nature, which are rich and colorful; the third is genetic diversity, that is, genetic diversity, which means that within the same species, there are different individuals or varieties , my country is one of the driest parties to the international Convention on Biological Diversity.

43. Do not hunt or raise wild animals - protect fragile biological chains

my country has established more than 400 ex-situ conservation and breeding bases for rare plants, more than 100 botanical gardens and Nearly 800 nature reserves. In 1988, my country issued the "List of National Key Protected Wild Animals", which included more than 300 species of terrestrial wild animals, including about 90 species of national first-level protected wild animals such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, gibbons, and red-crowned cranes; and national second-level protected wild animals. There are 230 species of animals including red pandas, pangolins, black bears, swans, and parrots.

44. Stop poaching and trading of wild animals - exercise your sacred rights

The "Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: It is prohibited to sell, Purchase nationally protected wild animals or products. The Ministry of Commerce stipulates that the acquisition and sale in any form of nationally protected animals and their products (including dead bodies, fur, feathers, internal organs, blood, bones, meat, horns, eggs, semen, embryos, specimens, medicinal parts, etc.) are prohibited. Our country is also one of the member states of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

45. Be friends with animals - be kind to life and coexist with all things

In order to save wild animals and their survival, some people donate money to "adopt" animals in nature reserves. Designate animals and visit them regularly as you would a relative. Some college students from Beijing went to Yunnan during the holidays to mobilize local people to protect the virgin forests and the rare animals that live there, the Yunnan golden monkeys. Many people often go to the Endangered Animal Conservation Center to express their condolences to extinct wild animals. In the United States, some children celebrate birthdays of zoo animals like their friends. A world-famous singer held a special concert in Shanghai for endangered whales in the sea.

46. Don’t buy rare wood utensils – don’t destroy tropical rainforests

Data show that about 10,000 years ago, there were 6.2 billion hectares of forests covering nearly 1/2 of the land. , and now there are only 2.8 billion hectares left. The world's tropical rainforests are shrinking at a rate of 17 million hectares per year, which is equivalent to losing a forest the size of a football field every minute. If this continues, by the end of this century, the world's forest area will be reduced by another 225 million hectares, and within a few years, the world's tropical forest resources may be completely destroyed.

47. Planting trees and protecting forests - fighting against desertification

The disappearance of forests means large-scale soil erosion and the acceleration of desertification. Currently, more than 100 countries in the world, 900 million people and 25% of the land are threatened by desertification. The annual direct economic losses caused by desertification reach more than 40 billion US dollars. The areas affected by desertification in my country account for more than 1/3 of the total land area. There are nearly 400 million people living in desert areas and affected by desert. The annual economic losses caused by desertification hazards are as high as more than 54 billion yuan.

48. Adopt a tree—become a green forest guardian

Professor Des from the Agricultural University in Kolkata, India, calculated the ecological value of a tree: A 50-year-old tree produces The value of oxygen is about US$31,200; the value of absorbing toxic gases and preventing air pollution is about US$62,500; the value of increasing soil fertility is about US$31,200; the value of conserving water sources is US$37,500; the value of providing a breeding place for birds and other animals is US$31,250; and the value of producing protein is US$2,500. Dollar. Excluding the value of flowers, fruits and wood, the total value is approximately US$196,000.

49. Pollution-free tourism - leave nothing but footprints

Internationally, the accounting of the total environment and natural ecological resources has been used as a measure of a country’s wealth. One of the contents is that in the report on per capita wealth of various countries in the world released by the United Nations, although Australia is not as economically wealthy as the United States, Japan and other countries, it is ranked first in per capita wealth because of its rich natural ecological resources, and China is ranked third. 163 bits.

50. Be an environmental volunteer - everyone has a responsibility to save the earth

Being an environmental volunteer has become an international trend. When recruiting talents, many large companies pay special attention to whether applicants have a record of participating in environmental protection charity activities to judge their sense of responsibility and professionalism. According to reports, 49% of American citizens over the age of 18 have done voluntary work, with each person working an average of 4.2 hours a week, equivalent to a value of US$200 billion. In Japan and other European countries, volunteering for environmental protection is also a common and routine action for citizens. In our country, it has become increasingly popular to be an environmental protection volunteer. Citizens from all over the country went to the Engebe Desert in Inner Mongolia to plant trees; Shenzhen citizens spontaneously went to the source of the Yangtze River to build a nature protection station; Beijing college students went to the community on weekends to promote garbage classification; Xi'an held a "Mother Environmental Protection Volunteer Activity Day"; Jilin volunteers organized many Large-scale environmental protection charity activities... These actions affect more people, and the team of environmental protection volunteers is constantly expanding.
