This activity is sponsored by the municipal government and co-organized by other units, mainly to make Xi 'an quickly embark on the road of high-quality green development.
According to the plan of printing and distributing the plan, it can be seen that Xi has made specific arrangements for the plastic ban, mainly according to three time periods, and defined the task objectives of strengthening plastic pollution and controlling it in stages.
Xi 'an's practice is of great significance to environmental governance and urban development, and other cities should follow suit and learn from it.
Once waste plastics enter the natural environment, it is difficult to degrade, which will cause long-term and deep-seated pollution to the environment and soil, mainly including these aspects.
1. Affect agricultural production and development: Because waste plastic products are non-degradable, they all accumulate in the soil, which will affect crops' absorption of nutrients in the soil, eventually leading to crop death and crop yield reduction.
2. It poses a great threat to the survival of animals: plastic products thrown on the ground at random will lead to the death of animals because rainwater flows into rivers and lakes and is swallowed by animals by mistake. Every year, a large number of cattle and sheep in Qinghai are blocked by eating plastic bags, which is common in rural areas, zoos, pastoral areas and oceans.
3. Waste plastics and other garbage are buried together: this will occupy a lot of useful land, and the land will not be restored for a long time, which will affect the sustainable development and utilization of land.
4. Waste plastic will cause visual pollution: In cities, all kinds of plastic wastes are everywhere in tourist attractions, roadsides and rivers, which bring people a bad visual impression and affect the beauty and overall image of the city.
It is urgent to ban plastics. The whole country should act together to protect the environment, and everyone is responsible.
