First of all, we should know that the classification of garbage is a pressing environmental action, however, the implementation of the school from the beginning, from the perspective of the students to society, is a shortcut, but also a strong and powerful method. If children are taught from kindergarten to categorize garbage and dispose of it properly. Then in the future of China, it will not be like the current sudden implementation of garbage classification to catch the already adult residents off guard. If it is popularized from school. We can tell children why we need to classify garbage, not how to classify garbage, so that children know the benefits of garbage classification, and then learn how to classify garbage on their own.
Simply put, garbage classification, in order to avoid future garbage siege, to realize the recyclable use of resources. Some data show that in 2016, China's cities produced a terrible 200 million tons of garbage. It's equivalent to covering the entire earth can be covered. Of the more than 600 large and medium-sized cities in China, two-thirds of them are already surrounded by garbage. A quarter of the cities have no place to properly store garbage. And China's treatment of garbage is basically incineration, landfill and composting,
The most important of these is landfill. But these methods are not fully degradable or fully recyclable, and the rate of disposal is far too fast to keep up with the rate of garbage creation. Therefore, it is urgent to teach children to classify garbage. In other countries, garbage classification has long been a course in the classroom, such as Japan. They spent the whole half world to educate children how to garbage classification, from the children's basic education science to start, to have today's Japanese garbage recycling rate of 55%.
In Japan's kindergartens, you can often see the children eat lunch, will dutifully line up in a long line, throw away the finished bottle of milk in the lunch, but also have to drink all the milk, remove the cap. Remove the plastic labels and put the caps and plastic labels in a different trash can. Wash the glass milk bottles in a bucket of water and put them in the appropriate place to dry and clean them before taking them to the garbage and throwing them away to wait for recycling. Children have already learned to separate garbage at school, and this habit will stay with them for the rest of their lives, and even when they grow up to be adults, they will hand over garbage separation to their own children without the need for strong measures from the government, from the example of Japan, garbage separation starts at school, which is very necessary.
