What will you do with a huge bag of waste when you see the four waste bins in your community(社区)? They are "Wet", "Dry", "Recyclable" and "Harmful."
Many people know the importance of waste sorting, but they just don' t know what falls into which kind. This makes it see, a little time-taking and difficult.
As a pioneer city. Shenzhen is also taking steps to encourage people to do waste sorting. Not only has the government tried hard to tell the public about the different four kinds of waste through posters and media, but also it is going to give prizes to people across the city. The total prize is 62.5 million yuan. As long as they take part in waste sorting, everyone has a chance to get the money. The purpose is to help people form a green idea of thinking of waste sorting as a good behavior.
Take Meilin No. 1 Village as an example. After several months of efforts, most people there can now sort out kitchen waste before throwing it out between 7 p. m. and 9 p. m. each day at proper places. The amount of sorted kitchen waste has increased from several hundred kilograms to about two tons.
