There are many reasons for this worrying phenomenon. First of all, at present, most people who often go out shopping and/or eating still know little about the harmful effects of non-biodegradable pollutants on the ecosystem, which is the main reason for the improper treatment of plastic waste worldwide. The main component of this kind of garbage is polyethylene. If there is no major scientific breakthrough in polyethylene treatment, it will not be decomposed in landfill for hundreds of years to come. Therefore, this kind of garbage must be treated centrally, not dispersed like tumbleweed. Secondly, the proliferation of plastic shopping bags and tableware is largely driven by surging reckless consumerism. Plastic containers and utensils are lighter, cheaper (usually free) and waterproof. These superior properties make them more popular than paper and cloth in the eyes of customers; With consumer satisfaction occupying a dominant position in contemporary society, compared with excellent portability, affordability and practicality, how to deal with them is the least concerned thing for consumers. In addition, plastic bags, packages and containers are also commercially feasible because they are cheaper to manufacture, transport and store. These mercenary considerations have also prompted good old cloth or paper bags to be replaced by plastic bags. However, in the process of elimination, few shops and restaurants advocate or encourage the use of environmentally friendly plastic garbage disposal methods, so a large number of non-biodegradable garbage and environmental hazards follow.
In view of the scale and seriousness of "white pollution", we must take immediate measures to solve this scourge. First of all, we must do our best to make people realize how persistent and destructive non-biodegradable garbage is to our environment and the environment of our descendants. Secondly, retail stores and catering institutions should spare no effort to encourage their customers to reuse plastic packaging items. In addition, indiscriminate and irresponsible dumping of household garbage or personal garbage should be declared illegal by the legislature, and those who throw garbage unconsciously must be fined or even imprisoned. Then, for biochemical researchers and technicians, scientific research must be carried out immediately to find an effective way to transform non-biodegradable garbage into biodegradable garbage. Last but not least, the government cannot shirk its responsibility in mobilizing scientific resources and mobilizing public support for the campaign against "white pollution". If you can't get enough funds by other means, you shouldn't just verbally support related research and activities. In addition, I believe that the consumption tax levied by the government on the use of plastic bags will also help curb this large-scale "white pollution".
The damage caused by non-biodegradable garbage to the ecosystem is beyond our imagination. It will eventually destroy soil, water and aquatic and terrestrial biota. We must begin to fight this environmental disaster before the ecosystem collapses irretrievably under the rule of tiny plastic fragments.
