2015/12/18The push for garbage classification has advanced mostly fruitlessly in much of China, but Beijing is adopting an innovative way to try and encourage the practice in the capital.

At a recent news briefing, Beijing's sanitation department said the capital will popularize the sorting of garbage through the application of QRcodes. Under the new system residents who register for an account on China's most popular instant messaging app, WeChat, will receive reward points that they can swap for commodities

and even cash when they sort their garbage. The system has been successfully piloted in some residential areas, and is due to be extended to 350 residential communities covering more than 1 million residents next year. Although the actual effects of the garbage classification reward program will be known only after some time, the move should be applauded. Riding the green wave 2019/5/1

Smart machines are a common sight in Shanghai. A goal for a greener city Waste sorting and recycling measures have been carried out in China since about 20 years ago. In 2000, Shanghai and seven other cities including Beijing and Nanjing were selected as the first batch of pilot cities to implement a trash sorting program. The city's new regulations revolve

around establishing a comprehensive system for garbage sorting, collection, transportation and disposal, as well as improving waste treatment facilities and reducing the amount of garbage produced. When the new regulations kick in, the city's residents will be required to sort their garbage into four categories - dry, wet, recyclables and hazardous waste. Individuals who fail to do so will be fined up to 200 yuan ($30). For companies and institutions, the fine can go up to 50,000 yuan.

2019/6/3 BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has underlined efforts to cultivate the good habit of garbage classification to improve the living environment and contribute to green and sustainable development.

"Garbage classification is related to the people's living environment and the economical use of resources. It is also an important embodiment of the level of civic-mindedness," Xi said. The key to carrying out waste sorting is to strengthen scientific management, form a mechanism with lasting effects, and cultivate the habit of waste sorting, Xi said, adding that China should strengthen guidance, adapt measures to local conditions, and make continuous, detailed and concrete efforts. "Extensive education and guidance should be carried out to make the people realize the importance and necessity of garbage sorting," Xi said. Through effective supervision and guidance, the country will let more people take action and cultivate the good habit of garbage classification to improve the living environment and contribute to green and sustainable development, Xi said. In December 2016, Xi presided over a meeting of the central leading group for financial and economic affairs, which studied on rolling out garbage classification nationwide. Xi also made field trips to learn about garbage sorting at the community level and put forward requirements for the work. By the end of 2020, garbage sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, and all cities at the prefecture level and above should have built such systems by 2025.

Step3.

Write a proposal to Mr. Hong about trash classification Task A: Distinguish facts and opinions (individual work) ---for better judgements and conclusions Todd: So, Keiko, so you lived in The States and they have a different system of collecting trash. Can you explain the difference of collecting trash in America and collecting trash in Japan?

Keiko: OK, my personal experience, in The States people just put everything in one place whereas in Japan people have to divide it into five different places but actually where I live in Kawasaki it's actually quite easy so I only have to divide into two garbage: one burnable, the other one non-burnable. That's it, but in the states, you just put everything together. Todd: Right, it's really weird ’cuze when I go home and I have trash I feel guilty. There's two things I feel strange about: One is in Japan I take off my shoes, when I go home, in America I feel strange walking in a house with my shoes on and the other is trash. When I go to throw away trash, I'm just throwing it away and I don't have to put in the right bin. It always feels a little strange. Keiko: But that means that somebody's — at the end, somebody is doing all the dividing work in The States, right? Todd: Unfortunately, I don't know. I think maybe some communities but maybe a lot, they just bury it. I think in The States, ’cuz we have a lot more land, we just bury a lot of the trash. We don't burn it like you do in Japan, so. You were saying that in Japan, it's different from region to region how you separate trash. Keiko: I think Tokyo is really strict, whereas Kanagawa is a little bit easy and I don't know why but I have to be even more careful when I'm at work, so even when I'm busy, I eat my lunch, you know, I take out my lunch garbage and I have to put, you know, chopstick here, a plastic box here, and a plastic bag here, and yeah, it's quite, quite a work. Todd: I hear ya. OK. Thanks a lot Keiko. ==>Conclusion : Facts can make your article more convincing while opinions can get across your attitudes and purpose clearly.
