ZZ91 information: In the urban area, plastic waste is improperly washed into the river. This is a common phenomenon. However, in remote mountain villages, people directly dump the garbage into the river, washed away by the river, and accumulated less. When the garbage gathers together and rushes into the ocean, it becomes a large area of ​​marine white garbage.
Foreign media said that since the discovery of the Pacific garbage belt 25 years ago, efforts to prevent garbage, especially white garbage (plastic waste) from entering the sea or water system, and injecting fresh blood into this huge garbage belt are increasing. Therefore, when Japan recently announced that about 15,000 plastic bottles mainly from neighboring countries such as South Korea and China were washed up on the Japanese coast from January this year, this should obviously cause people to be alert. At the same time, some plastic bottles also read the words "toxic" or "oxidant", and some even marked with chemical signs of hydrogen peroxide solution and nitric acid. Even more frightening is that people cleaning the coast found nearly 1,000 butane lighters in the garbage.
According to the US "Huffington Post" reported on August 19, it is clear that the strategy adopted by neighboring countries to prevent garbage from entering the ocean has not taken effect. An article published in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year stated that China is the world's largest producer of marine waste and Indonesia is second. According to the article, in 2010, Chinese coastal residents produced 8.82 million tons of poorly disposed plastic waste, accounting for almost 27.7% of global plastic waste. About 1.32 million to 3.53 million tons of plastic waste products eventually became marine debris. About 80% of coastal waste comes from China in the Okinawa Prefecture jurisdiction of Japan.
According to the report, from 2010 to 2013, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment conducted a site survey of coastal waste to determine the source of waste. About 50% of the waste comes from South Korea, and the remaining waste from Japan and China is half. One-third of the 15,000 plastic bottles that rushed to the coast of Japan this year came from South Korea. Another study from the Tokyo Ocean University shows that 85% of the rubbish on the Japanese coast originates from South Korea. The Japanese government processes 100,000 tons of coastal garbage every year. The coastal garbage has a long line and can be extended to the coast of Kyushu and the northern and western parts of Honshu. These coastal areas are just facing the Sea of ​​Japan. Japanese locals are trying to clean up these floating sea garbage. It is a pity that despite the fact that Koreans have been trying to change the name of this sea area to the "East Sea" for several years, they have placed even more important and more difficult environmental problems in front of them.
Ironically, one of the underlying factors contributing to this environmental pollution problem is actually an industry that has long been considered to have little impact on the environment: seaweed farming. The edible seaweed growing on the rope is arranged in rows under the surface of the sea, growing and sowing. After harvesting the seaweed, the disinfectant is used to disinfect the rope and then sown again. If the plastic bottles containing the disinfectant are not handled well, their end is likely to be the Japanese coast.
According to the Seafoodwatch.org website, the Korean fisheries and aquaculture industry are usually managed by the fishing port cooperatives, which will lease the fishery to private retail investors, which directly leads to a government regulatory gap in the Korean aquaculture industry. At the same time, if the local government does not provide seaweed growers with recycling or garbage collection methods, it is not surprising that the ocean is used as a convenient dump. Given that about 90% of Korean seaweed grows in the southernmost sea of ​​the country, the west coast of Japan has become the first stop for marine litter drifting northward. Similarly, the garbage entering the Yellow Sea from the Chinese coast also came to Japan with the same tide.
The report said that although no one is willing to look at the garbage to rush to their own beaches, this may be much stronger than ending in one of the circulation of the sea, such as the Pacific garbage belt. Once the garbage is included in the huge circulation of the circulation, it is much harder to remove them than to remove the coastal garbage. Plastic products are particularly troublesome. An article in National Geographic magazine in 2014 said that there are 269,000 tons of about 5.25 trillion plastic products floating in the global ocean.
The Marine Cleaning Group has given some amazing effects from marine debris:
At least 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year.
More than 100 species of creatures, including Hawaiian seals and turtles, are threatened by survival.
The cost of garbage disposal is about $1,500 to $25,000 per ton.
Plastic products take about 450 years to biodegrade. Tiny plastic particles are sometimes referred to as "small balls", which become toxic sponge balls that absorb grease, gasoline, chemical poisons, and other toxic substances. Once in the food chain, these toxins bioaccumulate and eventually accumulate in the fish. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the plastic "small ball" has been found in smaller fish, plankton and seabirds. It seems that it is only a matter of time before toxic substances enter our seafood dinner.
According to the report, in Japan, the imminent problem completely overshadowed the problem of cleaning manpower and garbage disposal. Just as Japanese scientists explore the development of energy for plastic products, international organizations such as the Marine Conservation Association, the Surfers Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as Japanese organizations including the Ministry of the Environment, are actively participating throughout the year. Marine cleanup operations. The German non-profit organization, Ocean Cleanup, invented a garbage collector, which the organization says will be able to clean up the world's oceans in just five years starting in 2016.
Reports say that whether garbage is collected from the sea or collected from the shore, how to deal with them is a difficult problem. The Japanese are famous for their clean love: the Japanese people will carefully divide the daily garbage into flammable, non-flammable and recyclable. Going out to watch the sports competition, the audience should also pack the garbage and go home to classify. Despite this, much of the rubbish found on the Japanese coast comes from Japan. One of the most important issues facing the Japanese is to clean the ocean and ensure that it is no longer subject to further pollution. Government officials from South Korea and Japan will discuss this issue in the coming months.
In fact, it is not just South Korea that there are no trash cans on the streets. Xinhua News Agency's Tokyo-based reporter Lan Jianzhong said that there are no garbage bins in public places such as streets and parks in Japan, and strict waste sorting is implemented. People also consciously classify consumption garbage into categories, or bring them home, or send them. Go to places like shops and restaurants with garbage stations.
There are similar situations in Singapore. Xinhua News Agency correspondent in Singapore Chen Jipeng said that there are trash cans in Singapore's roadsides, traffic lights, bus stops and airports. However, there are no garbage bins in subway stations, cars and buses, and littering is strictly prohibited. The penalty for offenders is very heavy. >>>Detail
See how American residents throw garbage. In Los Angeles, for example, their garbage is divided into three categories: a trash can for recyclable garbage, a bucket for hanging grass branches under the garden, and an ordinary household garbage. The trash can distinguish the type of garbage by color, and the type of garbage is also marked on the lid of the barrel.
Next to the supermarkets in Los Angeles, there are often recycling stations that can accept drinks bottles and other garbage. People took the bottle for a while and then brought it one by one into the machine to count and sell a little money.
In the residential area, that is, the community houses large trash cans belonging to each family. This type of waste is recycled once a week.
When you dump your household garbage, you must pay attention to it. You must first install it in a garbage bag and tighten the bag to prevent the residue and residual water from leaking out to produce a bad smell.
Household waste that can be recycled is nothing more than waste paper, glass bottles, plastics, etc. In the United States, these can all be placed in the same recycling bin. However, bottles and cans must be harmless and clean, and bottles containing foreign objects cannot be placed.
In France, household waste must also be classified, and glass products, paper, plastic, household waste, and construction waste are classified. Every family has a domestic garbage bin. Every day, residents put their domestic garbage on the street, and the municipal department will handle it. According to the government's mandatory regulations, each family must purchase four rounds of large trash cans that can be pushed and pushed. Other garbage is placed at the designated garbage collection point.
