What will be the impact of the large amount of garbage on the Tibetan Plateau?

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is known as the roof of the world, and because of its high altitude, it also has many beautiful scenery. Although it is not very suitable for people, it is also a valuable piece of land, and the yak and cordyceps that we all know are mainly produced here.

With the development of transportation, the transportation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is getting better and better. In this case, it also brings business opportunities and convenience to the local people; But at the same time, it also brings pollution of garbage.

Every year, many self-driving tourists come here, and while they enjoy the beautiful scenery, they also leave garbage here, which destroys the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and there is also a certain amount of pollution for the water and soil.

In my personal opinion, the large amount of garbage on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will have the following adverse effects on the local area:

1. Polluted and beautiful environment The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau here, although the air is thin, but also because of the vast land and sparsely populated people, the environmental protection is very good. As people's activities gradually increased, there was more garbage here.

Because the population here is small, and the Tibetans who have lived there for generations, in their lives, there will hardly be some non-degradable plastic waste. So despite living for thousands of years, the environment is still well maintained.

After the arrival of tourists, they also brought a large amount of plastic waste, and tourists did not have a strong awareness of environmental protection, so the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was greatly polluted.

Second, it increases the burden on the local people because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and many times an administrative village has jurisdiction over an area of several hundred square kilometers, but the total number of people under its jurisdiction is not much.

In such a situation, the local management department can only mobilize the power of the masses to let them pick up the garbage they see while working.

When we had the opportunity to visit here, we didn't forget to take our own trash with us while enjoying the view.

A large amount of garbage will lead to a decrease in local air quality, as well as a deterioration of people's living environment, and if some cattle and sheep and other livestock eat this garbage by mistake, they will get sick, causing unnecessary losses.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has low air pressure and temperature, low soil fertility, weak microbial activity, weak natural purification ability, and difficult degradation of garbage. A large amount of garbage is discarded, which will increase the consumption of the environmental carrying capacity of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and harmful waste will damage the local ecology and affect the ecological balance.

Due to the high altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, garbage is not easy to decompose, and the existence of a large amount of garbage will damage the environment, pollute water sources, and have a negative impact on air and land.

This garbage is made by the residents living in the local area, and it also has a very big impact on the local area, mainly because the local people will produce a lot of garbage when they are alive and discharged into such a trillion.

The main reason is that people who travel there do not take the garbage with them when they go back, resulting in the accumulation of garbage.

Because this area is a natural gathering point, there are restaurants, Qiduna hostels, gas stations and other service institutions, resulting in perennial dense and quiet, so there will be a huge open-air garbage belt.

Mainly because there is some marine debris in the sea, which then drifts to the shore at high tide, and over time, it will form.

In recent years, the population of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has grown rapidly, and the irrational development and utilization of resources have destroyed the ecological environment of the plateau, and the speed is accelerating. Ecological environment.

Deterioration has led to widespread grassland degradation, loss of biological resources, threats to biodiversity and an increase in natural disasters.

People who travel don't take care of the environment.

It is the people who live here, including the people who come and go, that some of the garbage generated is not disposed of in time, so it has become like this.

On the one hand, these garbage are the domestic garbage left by the Hoh Xil expedition, which can be said to account for a large part, and some are left by local residents, but they account for a small part, and the pollution to the environment is still very large.

This garbage is brought by tourists, and tourists throw it away after drinking water or eating.
