Question

You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1,Shanghai introduced a new garbage sorting policy.People there need to put different kinds of garbage ﹣wet,dry,recyclable and harmful,into different dustbins.Other cities in China will do the same soon.

Harmful garbage	Recyclable garbage	Wet garbage	Dry garbage
lamps,batteries,nail polish（指甲油）and other things with harmful chemicals.	Paper, books,boxes, glass bottles and newspapers.	Food,vegetables, flowers,leaves and eggshells（蛋壳）.	It includes pens,toilet paper,tape,hair and towels（毛巾）.

Why is garbage sorting a big problem?It's because there is too much garbage these days.It is bad for our soil,air and water.Actually we can make use of some garbage again.And first,we need to sort our garbage.

For example,if you put an old battery into the "harmful waste"dustbin,people can use it to make new batteries.But if you don' t,the battery will end up somewhere else.Then,it will pollute the environment.

Can't factories sort garbage for us?Yes,they can.But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money.If we all sort our own garbage,things will become much easier.
