Compared with half a century ago, the global economy has doubled in size. The development of science and technology drives the rapid growth of productive forces, and it also affects people's lives. I have to say that people's life is really convenient nowadays. Whether shopping or take-out, you can enjoy meals or items without leaving home by just clicking on your mobile phone. But behind this convenience, it is actually the environmental pollution of the earth that is accelerating, especially the "white pollution" brought by plastic products, which has become a big worry for the earth's ecological environment.
"white pollution" is actually an image of the environmental pollution caused by waste plastics, because there are plastic bags made of polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other polymer compounds, disposable tableware and other plastic bottles, and the most important color is white. Because of littering, these intractable pollution will be scattered everywhere in the environment, from the garbage dump in the city to the ridge in the countryside, forming a landscape of white snow.
and this pollution is also the most difficult part of the earth's environmental pollution. In fact, people are really dependent on plastic products. Because of the development of sanitation, low-priced packaging materials have been established in many northeastern areas of Alai, but this thing is particularly difficult to degrade, and it can stay in the land for hundreds of years. At the same time, discarded plastic on land or water will be swallowed by animals as food, causing animal deaths. Too many news that whales find a large number of plastic bags in their stomachs is always sad, so it is urgent to control "white pollution".
From October 1, 2121, Thailand, the most popular country for China tourists, implemented the strictest "plastic restriction order" in history. It is estimated that about 75 Thai plastic factories and 25,111 sales outlets will no longer provide disposable plastic bags. Among them are the major retail enterprises in Thailand and countless Thai vendors. It is estimated that the use of plastic bags will be reduced by 31% in this way, and it is estimated that the use of plastic bags will be reduced by 13.5 billion a year, so as to achieve the purpose of environmental governance.
so why is Thailand so determined to implement the "plastic restriction order"? The main reason is that the white pollution in Thailand is too serious. Take Bangkok as an example, about 81 million pieces of plastic bag garbage are cleared every day in Bangkok, but there are only more than 11 million people in Bangkok. On average, each person uses 8 plastic bags every day, which is extremely dependent on plastic bags. This has also led to serious environmental pollution in Thailand, and many animals in the offshore area have died because of eating plastic bags by mistake. This has a bad influence on a country with tourism as its pillar, so Thailand has made a plastic restriction order, hoping to bring more purity to the environment.
Under this "the strictest plastic restriction in history", Thai people are also very cooperative, and their brains are wide open in an instant. In the network environment of Thailand, "What shopping bag to use for shopping" has become a hot topic, among which there are many Thais with wide brains, some people push carts to go shopping, some people carry shopping boxes on their backs, and some even take traditional woven fabrics to go shopping.
and maybe this is what we should learn, because the plastic waste pollution in China is actually the same serious problem. The most important thing is that there are many people in China, and the plastic bags are not easy to degrade, so the pollution is also very large over time. Therefore, I hope you can rely on plastic bags as little as possible when shopping, and start with me as much as possible. I don't know how do you evaluate the plastic limit order in Thailand?
