Why does the use of disposable chopsticks, bags, etc. pollute the environment?

The harm of disposable chopsticks is to damage the environment. Because the raw materials for chopsticks are trees, making chopsticks requires a lot of deforestation and destruction of forest resources.

The harm of plastic bags is to pollute the environment. Plastics are chemical petroleum products extracted from petroleum or coal, which are difficult to degrade naturally once produced. Plastic will not decay and degrade in the ground for 200 years, and a large amount of plastic waste is buried in the ground, which will destroy the permeability of the soil, make the soil compact, and affect the growth of plants.

Livestock can also die from digestive tract obstruction if they accidentally ingest plastic that has been mixed with feed or left in the wild.

Factories that produce disposable chopsticks have certain hygiene problems in the production process (**TV has reported) and use chemicals to make the chopsticks look whiter. If you can, don't use it.

The decay period of disposable bags as garbage is too long, too much is used, and there is more garbage, so if you don't want to live in garbage, then use it yourself, it's best not to use it, and persuade others to use it less.

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!

Because these things are not easy to decompose!! Moreover, the bag will produce harmful substances in the process of combustion, and there are some harmful gases that are harmful to the ozone layer of the atmosphere, and also pose a threat to the health of other organisms, including humans!

Do you know what White Pollution is? Just know it.

Using disposable chopsticks is not environmentally friendly, and disposable chopsticks directly waste limited wood resources. Now mankind is facing a very severe environmental crisis, saving the earth has become a strong voice of the people of the world, environmental problems have become an arduous and urgent task for all countries in the world, China takes the conservation of resources and the protection of the environment as a basic national policy.

The notice of the General Office on in-depth development of national energy-saving actions also calls on the whole people to be aware of energy conservation, reduce the use of disposable products, and advocate the non-use of disposable chopsticks, paper cups, signature pens and other disposable supplies; A few days ago, China's Ministry of Commerce also advocated the use of disposable chopsticks at the "China Catering Industry Development Conference".

Chopsticks are one of the most commonly used tableware by Chinese, since the emergence of disposable chopsticks, many people feel that it is very convenient to use, and it is also very hygienic, so in the current catering service, disposable chopsticks are quite common, and disposable chopsticks that are convenient and hygienic to use in the eyes of many people are not hygienic. According to CCTV**, disposable chopsticks have undergone the processing of a variety of chemicals such as fumigated sulfur, paraffin, hydrogen peroxide and so on in the production process, and the use of a series of industrial supplies has stained disposable chopsticks with various substances harmful to the body.

It's best not to use disposable chopsticks when eating out. First of all, disposable chopsticks will retain a lot of bacteria in the production and packaging process, the chopsticks are not sealed during production and transportation, and some sundries such as dust can easily enter the chopsticks through the wind, and many manufacturers do not sterilize, which is very unhygienic and easy to cause gastrointestinal inflammation. The polyethylene film on the outer packaging of disposable chopsticks will produce more harmful ingredients at high temperatures, inducing a variety of chronic diseases in the human body.

Disposable chopsticks are fumigated and bleached with sulfur, which produces a large amount of sulfur dioxide, and sulfur dioxide will solidify when cold. Therefore, when eating with such chopsticks, sulfur dioxide can easily solidify into the respiratory tract with the movement of air, causing cough, asthma and other diseases. In addition to this, sulfur contains heavy metals such as:

Lead. mercury and other ......Heavy metals can accumulate in the human body, and long-term accumulation can cause lead poisoning or mercury poisoning. Disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide during the production process, which is highly corrosive and corrosives the mouth, esophagus and even the gastrointestinal tract; And it contains dioxins that used to make people talk about it.

The use of talcum powder in the grinding process will cause people to suffer from gallstones if they are not clean, and they will slowly accumulate in the human body. Sterilized disposable chopsticks have a shelf life of up to 4 months, and once the expiration date is exceeded, it is likely to carry Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and hepatitis.

To summarize the following main hidden hazards::

1. Damage to respiratory function: disposable chopsticks must be fumigated with sulfur during the production process, so sulfur will be released when exposed to heat during use, eroding the mucosa of the respiratory tract;

2. Damage to digestive function: disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide during the production process, which has strong corrosiveness and corrosives the mouth, esophagus and even the gastrointestinal tract;

3. Bacterial infection: the shelf life of sterilized disposable chopsticks is up to 4 months, and once the shelf life is exceeded, it is likely to bring Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and hepatitis;

4. Disposable chopsticks may also produce a "greenhouse effect", because of the vicious circle, there are fewer trees, carbon dioxide will increase, the atmosphere will thicken, and the heat will be difficult to disperse, resulting in the "greenhouse effect".

5. Disposable chopsticks cause cancer: Experts pointed out that expired disposable chopsticks contain carcinogen aflatoxin, which has a very high risk of carcinogenesis and can induce the occurrence of liver cancer. Don't underestimate this small disposable chopstick, it has an expiration date, and it is a dangerous item after the expiration date.
