What is the white pollution 什么是白色污染
White pollution refers to plastic pollution. It is a new member of pollution family, but it grows fast. Unrecyclable plastic lunch boxes line along railroads. Plastic shopping bags dance in the wind. When leaders are busy mapping out blueprints for the future, white pollution becomes their headache.
In this fast-paced world, the convenience of eating take-out and using single-use tableware draws in more and more people.
But despite their handiness, the plastic bags and foam plastic food containers have been associated with "white pollution", because they are non-degradable.
Still, packaging experts have recently said it's not the products alone that are to blame for the environmental pollution. The public needs to examine their own conducts and enforce strict codes in these products'production, disposal and recycling.
Starting in early 1980s, cheap, sanitary and food-preserving containers made of Styrofoam, a major type of foam plastics, won favor among Chinese people. It became widely used on trains and in the fast food industry.
However, people's environmental awareness did not keep up with rapidly increasing production of Styrofoam packaging.
It was common for people to toss the containers after using them, resulting in white disposable tableware littered everywhere, many piling up along the railways and floating in the rivers.
Such unpleasant terms as "the white Great Wall" and "white blanket" are often used to describe the messy scenes throughout cities.
Everything in the life circle deserves its place on earth. If we continue using plastic lunch boxes, shopping bags and other unrecyclable plastic products, what would happen? One day we might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish and then the earth would be a dustbin.
To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do to get rid of white pollution. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do to color the earth green instead of white.
