Yongledian Town Went To Villages To Promote The Recycling And Standardized Disposal Of Plastics And Other Garbage
Tips to turn garbage into "treasures", Yongle Dian Town's environmental tips can be learned at home
Recently I heard that Yongledian Town held an event called "Transportation", aiming to deliver convenient services of recyclables and hazardous waste to the village. In fact, this environmental protection concept can be implemented in our daily life. Not only can it protect the environment, but it can also actually save a lot of money! Today, I will share some practical environmental protection tips at home, so that you can easily become an expert in sorting garbage at home.
The "One Bucket, Two Bags" Method, the Lazy Man's Sorting Technique in the Kitchen
Many friends think that garbage classification is complicated, but in fact the key lies in the tools and equipment. Hang two small bags under the kitchen sink. One is used to hold temporary plastic packaging, such as snack bags and plastic wrap, and the other is used to hold paper waste, such as napkins and egg trays. Place a small bucket with a lid in the corner of the cupboard specifically for collecting food waste. In this way, you can easily sort the vegetables when washing and cooking, and there is no need to spend time organizing them. It is very suitable for lazy people who pursue efficiency.
Turn waste into a storage artifact, saving money and being practical
Don’t rush to throw away the express cartons at home. Cut off one side of these cartons of similar size and put them side by side in the drawer. This way, you will have a free grid storage box. Socks, underwear and sundries can be clearly placed according to categories. Glass bottles, such as pickle bottles and beverage bottles, can be soaked in hot water to remove the labels. After cleaning, they become perfect grain storage jars or vases. Old T-shirts that have been worn are cut into strips, and then woven into futon-like mattresses, or used as cleaning rags. This can not only achieve the purpose of environmental protection, but also save money on purchasing household items.
"Temporary docking station" for hazardous waste to protect the health of the whole family
Hazardous waste such as used batteries, expired medicines, and waste light tubes are most afraid of being thrown into ordinary trash cans. You can place a small cardboard box with a lid at the shoe cabinet in the entrance or in the corner of the balcony to serve as a temporary collection site for hazardous waste. Add a label to remind family members. When the box is almost full, it will be sent to the designated recycling location in the community or village. This not only avoids the leakage of harmful substances in the house, but also prevents family members from accidentally encountering expired medicines.
"Photography method for doubtful photos" to easily overcome classification problems
What should you do if you encounter a type of garbage that you don’t understand? For example, is an oily plastic bag considered recyclable? What kind of garbage do expired cosmetics belong to? Let me teach you a way: take out your mobile phone and take a photo, open the search software or related environmental protection app to search, and you will get the answer in just a few seconds. Record common questions in your phone memo so you can quickly answer them next time you encounter them. Such a small move can greatly improve the accuracy of classification and prevent the entire bag of garbage from being recycled due to incorrect classification.
Clever use of APP makes selling scraps as convenient as ordering takeout
Nowadays, many places have apps or mini-programs that provide door-to-door recycling services, which are as convenient as the “Traffic and Transportation” activities. After accumulating a certain number of cartons, newspapers and plastic bottles, you don't need to move them to the waste station. You can make an appointment on your mobile phone and the recycler will come directly to your door, weigh them on the spot, and settle the bill through your mobile phone. This can not only free up space at home, but also exchange for a few or even dozens of dollars, add some change to the child's piggy bank, or buy a few bottles of water. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Tips for composting, turning kitchen waste into flower fertilizer
If you have a small yard or a balcony where you have planted some flowers and plants, you can try the simpler Bokashi composting method. First prepare a compost bucket with a lid, then chop up the peels, vegetable leaves, egg shells and other kitchen waste generated every day and put it in. Sprinkle a layer of EM fermented bran on each layer. After the barrel is full, sealed fermentation takes about two weeks. The liquid that flows out is the best organic fertilizer water (it needs to be diluted before use), and the solid residue is buried in the soil to become nutrient soil. Since then, the wet garbage in the house has been reduced by half, and the flowers and plants have grown extraordinarily vigorously.
Environmental protection has never been an empty slogan, but is made up of small habits that can be easily implemented. Starting from this moment, try to use these home tips to make garbage classification fully integrated into daily life. You will realize that dedicating yourself to protecting the earth can actually become extremely easy, extremely economical, and even particularly interesting.
