 What is the white pollution 什么是白色污染
     White pollution refers to plastic pollution. It is a new member of pollution family, but it grows fast. Unrecyclable plastic lunch boxes line along railroads. Plastic shopping bags dance in the wind. When leaders are busy mapping out blueprints for the future, white pollution becomes their headache.
     In this fast-paced world, the convenience of eating take-out and using single-use tableware draws in more and more people.
     But despite their handiness, the plastic bags and foam plastic food containers have been associated with "white pollution", because they are non-degradable.
     Still, packaging experts have recently said it's not the products alone that are to blame for the environmental pollution. The public needs to examine their own conducts and enforce strict codes in these products'production, disposal and recycling.
     Starting in early 1980s, cheap, sanitary and food-preserving containers made of Styrofoam, a major type of foam plastics, won favor among Chinese people. It became widely used on trains and in the fast food industry.
     However, people's environmental awareness did not keep up with rapidly increasing production of Styrofoam packaging.
     It was common for people to toss the containers after using them, resulting in white disposable tableware littered everywhere, many piling up along the railways and floating in the rivers.
     Such unpleasant terms as "the white Great Wall" and "white blanket" are often used to describe the messy scenes throughout cities.
     Everything in the life circle deserves its place on earth. If we continue using plastic lunch boxes, shopping bags and other unrecyclable plastic products, what would happen? One day we might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish and then the earth would be a dustbin.
     To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do to get rid of white pollution. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do to color the earth green instead of white.
     所謂"白色污染"(white pollution)是指由農(nóng)用薄膜(agricultural film)、包裝用塑料膜、塑料袋和一次性塑料餐具(disposable plastic dinnerware)(以下統(tǒng)稱塑料包裝物)的丟棄所造成的環(huán)境污染。由于廢舊塑料包裝物大多呈白色,因此稱之為"白色污染"。我國是世界上十大塑料制品生產(chǎn)和消費國之一,所以"白色污染"日益嚴(yán)重。白色污染是我國城市特有的環(huán)境污染(environment pollution),在各種公共場所都能看見大量廢棄的塑料制品(plastic product)。它們從自然界而來,由人類制造,最終歸結(jié)于大自然時卻不易被自然所消納,從而影響了大自然的生態(tài)環(huán)境(ecologic environment)。







     In the activities to build "green communities", the citizens conscientiously boycott white pollution and practice garbage sorting.
     在建設(shè)"綠色社區(qū)"活動中,市民自覺抵制"白色污染"、自覺實行垃圾分類。
     The disposable towel largely used in modern restaurants is one of the causes for city white pollution.
     現(xiàn)代餐廳大量使用一次性面巾是構(gòu)成城市白色污染的原因之一。
     Motorists are encouraged to use white gasoline as it helps lessen air pollution.
     鼓勵駕駛員使用無鉛汽油(不是"白色汽油"),因為這有利于減少環(huán)境污染。
     "Stop the white pollution and no more sighs of greenness!" Do not just appeal, do not just plead, but also take actions, please! The environment protection is urgent!
     "讓白色停止污染,綠色不再嘆息吧!"這不僅僅是呼吁,不僅僅是吶喊,而應(yīng)該成為一種行動!因為,保護(hù)環(huán)境已經(jīng)刻不容緩。
     Facing to the increasingly severe white pollution, people are searching for a substitute that can replace existing plastic and not to cause white pollution.
     面對日益嚴(yán)重的白色污染問題,人們希望尋找一種能替代現(xiàn)行塑料性能,又不會造成白色污染的塑料替代品。
     The main harm for "white pollution" is "visual pollution" and"potential pollution".
     "白色污染"的主要危害在于"視覺污染"和"潛在危害"。
     Retrieve the wasted plastic and make reclamation is the fundamental way to resolve white pollution.
     回收廢塑料并使之資源化是解決白色污染的根本途徑。

     政府應(yīng)盡快制定頒布國家防治"白色污染"的有關(guān)法規(guī),明確生產(chǎn)者、銷售者和消費者的義務(wù)和法律責(zé)任。
     Judging from the consumption, it seems that the "white pollution"in developed countries should be severe, but it is not true.
     從消費量來看,似乎發(fā)達(dá)國家的"白色污染"應(yīng)該很嚴(yán)重,實則不然。
     The prevention and cure of "white pollution" can not only relay on the consciousness of enterprises and individuals, but need compulsory measurements.
     防治"白色污染"不能光靠企業(yè)或個人的自覺性,還應(yīng)有強制性措施。
     The "white pollution" of cities, tourist attractions, traffic artery and waters should mainly attribute to the ill management.
     城市、風(fēng)景旅游區(qū)、交通干線、水域的"白色污染"主要是管理不力造成的。
     Most reports of "white pollution" by news media focus on the technologies like replacing plastic with paper and adopting regarded plastic, while lack the guide and education of people's daily routine.
     新聞媒介對"白色污染"的報導(dǎo)大多集中在以紙代塑和采用可降解塑料等技術(shù)方面,缺少對居民日常行為的引導(dǎo)教育。
     At present, our country starts to prevent and cure "white pollution"from two aspects of administration and technology.

     It is a must to launch propagation and increase people's awareness towards "white pollution".
