Waste Sorting 垃圾分类 1．目前很多人扔垃圾时不分类 2．由此带来的问题 3．提倡垃圾分类的意义 Many people in China are still used to throwing away the rubbish unsorted despite a decade of calls for waste-sorting. For example, rubbish bins marked with “recyclable” are still seen to be full of non-recyclable kitchen waste and recyclable plastic bottles. People’s throwing rubbish unsorted will bring about some problems. First of all, it causes a big waste of recyclable resources. Second, rubbish that should be recycled and reused but are mixed with the non-recyclable stuff will take up a lot of space in the landfill site. Last but not the least, it will add to the difficulty and cost of waste treatment. Considering the problems mentioned, we find it not hard to see then environmental and economic benefits of carrying out the practice of waste sorting. On the one hand, with recyclable waste sorted and taken out, the amount of waste will be reduced greatly and more space will thus be saved. On the other hand, less waste means less wasted transportation and treatment, and less impact on the environment. Waste Sorting 垃圾分类 Most people haven’t formed the habit and committed themselves to waste sorting now in china. They would throw their domestic garbage-----kitchen refuse, plastics, papers, china and glass, etc. all into the same public containers, without thinking whether they are recyclable or not. This, obviously, will reduce the value of stuff that can be recycled or reused, such as plastics and papers. Besides, the growing amount of garbage makes the building of more landfills necessary, which will worsen the shortage of land. Worse still, disposing of the recyclable waste like plastics by burning will give off toxic smoke, and pollute the air. In this case, throwing the trash unsorted should not be advocated, no matter from the perspective of economy or protecting environment. On the contrary, if we sort out recyclable waste before throwing them away, the amount of trash will be reduced sharply. Accord
