Environmental protection
With advances in science and technology, people's standard of living has improved considerably, but pollution has also been accompanied by increased attention to low-carbon and environmentally friendly aspects of the knowledge that each of us has in our lives。
01
Promote waste classification so that it can be used to its full potential
Disaggregated collection of household waste means the collection of household waste according to the requirements of different treatment and disposal methods in several categories and the recovery or disposal of different types of household waste in an appropriate manner, with a view to reducing the final disposal of household waste, the recycling of some valuable substances and the environmental pollution caused by mixed collection of household waste。
The introduction of household waste classification is an essential way to reduce environmental pollution, reduce resource consumption, glorify living environments, achieve sustainable social development and rational use of resources. It is also an important element of urban environmental construction and management。
The principles for classification of household waste include, inter alia, separation of recyclables from non-recoverables, separation of flammables from non-flammables, separation of dry wastes from wet wastes, and separation of hazardous wastes from general waste. Specific classifications are selected according to local living waste disposal facilities。
Recoverable resources in life
Waste paper: newspapers, books, wrapping paper, office paper, advertising paper, paper boxes, etc.
Plastics: plastic bags, plastic foam, plastic packaging, one-time plastic lunch box, plastic toothbrush, plastic cups, mineral water bottles, etc
Glass: glass bottles and broken glass, mirrors, light bulbs, heat bottles, etc.
Metals: easy to pull cans, tin cans, toothpaste skin, etc.
Clothes: mainly abandoned clothes, tablecloths, towels, bags, etc。
Unrecoverable resources in life
The main ones are cigarette butts, scrap batteries, slags, building garbage, paint paints, food residues, etc. Toxic waste, including scrap batteries, solar lamps, mercury thermometers, paint cartridges, medicines, cosmetics, etc。
02
Green low-carbon travel
The emission of motor vehicle pollutants has become one of the main sources of air pollution in many of our cities. The choice of green low-carbon travel is the proactive adoption of transport that reduces co2 emissions, saves energy, reduces pollution and is healthy and efficient。
Minimize the use of private cars, give priority to walking, riding or public transport, and make more use of low-carbon green travel such as shared transport. Home cars should be preferred to new energy or energy-efficient cars。
Promote conservation, ecological and environmental awareness and continuous improvement of the ecological environment。
The environment is the material basis for the survival and development of humankind and is closely linked to health. With the increase in population, the process of urbanization and the rapid development of industrialization, human beings, while achieving economic development, scientific and technological progress, are also putting enormous pressure on the ecological environment, resulting in environmental pollution, resource depletion, forest degradation, degradation of the marine environment and loss of biodiversity, seriously endangering human health and sustainable development。
Environmental degradation, which not only constrains economic and social development, but is also a major health hazard to the public, should be given high priority throughout society. The centre of the party has clearly stated that: it is determined to win the blue sky war, which will essentially eliminate the heavy pollution of the weather; it is committed to implementing the plan of action to prevent and combat water pollution in order to guarantee safe drinking water; it is fully implementing the plan of action to prevent and combat soil pollution in order to give the public a sense of comfort and security; it is continuing its efforts to clean up the rural habitat and to build beautiful villages; it is determined to keep up the fight against pollution and the fight against pollution and sustainable development of human society。
04
Self-conscious as the protector, builder of the ecological environment
It is the responsibility of every citizen to care for environmental health and to protect the environment from pollution. Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves, protecting the ecological environment like the protection of the eyes, treating the ecological environment like life, effectively increasing the awareness of conservation, environmental awareness and ecological awareness, raising ecological civilization, maintaining a modest, green, low-carbon way of living and working, practising green consumption, self-inflicted good habits that save resources and do not pollute the environment, and striving to create a clean, comfortable, quiet and good working environment that contributes to the protection and promotion of human health。
Actively participate in and monitor the protection of the ecological environment and discourage, deter or report on acts that damage the ecological environment and affect public health through the “12369” platform。
05
Let's start with a simple, modest life
A modest, green and low-carbon lifestyle is a civilized and healthy way of life that reflects the characteristics of the new era, in keeping with human and natural development。
The public should start with small things in daily life: the selection of durables and the purchase of less disposables; the non-purchase of modern, alternative electronics from the wind; the choice of low-carbon trips, with priority for walking, riding or public transport; the use of natural light, the least possible use of indoor lighting when there is sufficient light, the use of lights and the timely closing of electrical power sources; the rational setting of air-conditioning temperatures at no less than 26°c in the summer and no more than 20°c in the winter; the taking of more stairs and less of elevators; the overuse of water, saving paper and no waste of food on demand; the use of energy-efficient products, green construction materials and green environmental renovation materials; and the use or donation of free-loading items。
We value food and reject “waste on the tip of the tongue”。
It is the traditional virtue of the chinese nation to promote economy, value food and eliminate waste. When cooking at home, food is selected on demand, meals are prepared on demand, and it is promoted that meals are not wasted; meals are recommended for public service meals and buffets; and a system of procurement, processing and catering management is set up in the unit canteens to educate people about waste. Catering enterprises are required to guide consumers to a modest order of meals, to save food, to pack leftovers and not to set minimum consumption levels. The idea of marriage, marriage and so on, is a simple meal。
06
Protection of wildlife and refusal to purchase wildlife products
The conservation of mountain forested and lake grassy ecosystems does not destroy wildlife habitats, does not enter natural reserves at will, does not carry out illegal activities such as logging, grazing, hunting, fishing, taking medicines, reclamation, burning, mining, quarrying and sand mining in nature-protected areas. No indiscriminate hunting of wildlife, no purchase of wildlife products and no consumption of wildlife. Knowledge of endangered flora and fauna, protection of rare, endangered wildlife and timely reporting of illegal hunting or logging to the relevant authorities。
07
Use of environmental supplies and reduction of one-time supplies
Environmental materials are low-cost, non-pollution, easy to recover and reusable. The use of environmentally sound materials can save energy, reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable development。
One-off items in daily life are the types of items that can be used only once. One-off supplies not only consume large amounts of natural resources but also lead to an increase in household waste. In our daily lives, we need to make more use of environmental supplies and minimize the use of one-off supplies. Minimize the use of one-time dishes during out-of-home meals; minimize the use of one-time cups by out-of-home water cups; and minimize the use of one-time plastic bags by out-shopping, bringing shopping tools (such as baskets, bags, etc.)
