The man was sentenced to four and a half years for throwing cigarette butts and causing a mountain fire in Qingdao. What's the harm of littering cigarette butts?

Although sometimes it is just a small cigarette butt, the consequences are incalculable and extremely harmful. A little carelessness will lead to a fire, and if the cigarette is not extinguished, it may also lead to an explosion if it encounters a certain chemical substance. Unburned cigarette butts can also affect the germination rate of grass. It takes several years 10 years for the substances in cigarette butts to decompose in nature.

There is a saying that they will not be completely burned in a wildfire, but they will be tall again in the spring breeze, especially in the forest. If cigarette butts are thrown around, a large forest may be ignited in an instant. Assuming there is a strong wind, it is not easy to put out the fire.

At present, there are many smokers all over the country, but as a quality citizen, we must also abide by some regulations. After smoking, you must properly handle your cigarette butts, and don't cause this burden to the environment, let alone others. The seemingly small action may make the mountain fire burn directly or even spread.

A villager in Qingdao rode a motorcycle to dig wild vegetables on a hillside. After digging for a while, he might feel a little tired, so he sat on the ground and had a rest. After smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground at will, and didn't pay attention to whether the cigarette butt went out. Because his behavior directly led to the ignition of weeds. At that time, he found a fire, and he immediately put it out. But at that time, the wind was very strong, and the fire not only did not go out, but continued to spread.

Once a fire breaks out, it is also a great challenge for rescuers. It is precisely because of this move that Li directly caused a forest fire loss of 1 1 more than 10,000 yuan. After the fire spread, he fled the scene for fear of being discovered. Finally, after the masses called the police, firefighters immediately rushed to the incident to carry out fire fighting work.

Littering cigarette butts directly led to the loss of Suzuki's resources and wood, and of course all the costs of fire fighting. These losses are enormous. These burned forest resources have been growing again for many years. In the end, he also paid the price for his actions and was sentenced to four years and six months in prison by the court for the crime of fire.
