introduction
Because our development policy is very appropriate, in the past decade or so, China's development speed has been very rapid, and it has made great achievements in various fields. Countries around the world have also called China's development China's speed, and they are amazed by our economic achievements. Not only do foreign countries see us this way, but even we ourselves can really feel the improvement of living standards and the improvement of quality of life in our lives.
But other countries like us as developing countries have not had such good luck, and even many countries are still living a life of lack of food and clothing. For example, African countries, for various reasons, lag far behind other countries in terms of economic level and political influence. The recent news about the large-scale procurement of waste tires from african countries on the mainland has also triggered heated discussions among netizens. So why did Africa buy China's waste tires, and what is the use? Insiders told Xiaobian that these tires can actually be processed into slippers. But why should Africans do it?
We can clearly feel in our lives that in the past ten years, our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes, especially for the post-80s and post-90s, their feelings should be more profound. Because after the 80s and 90s, when they were young, our economy was still relatively backward, and many people lived a life without food, clothing, and warmth, and the living conditions were relatively difficult.
But after just about 20 years of development, we can also clearly feel that our quality of life and living standards have been significantly improved. Especially for those first-tier large cities, where the quality of life of people has even surpassed that of some developed countries.
There is also a phenomenon in life that can easily test our development results, that is, the number of cars around us is becoming more and more numerous. Twenty or thirty years ago, when the mainland's economy was relatively backward, there were very few families who owned cars.
Especially for rural areas, owning a minivan is a novelty for all the villages, although the economic situation in the city was relatively good at that time, but the number of people who owned private cars was still very small. At that time, only those who made their fortunes through business could have a car.
Since we can also see how extravagant the desire to own a car was for an ordinary family in those days. However, after twenty or thirty years of development, the mainland's economy has made great achievements, the income of residents has also been significantly improved, private cars are no longer novel, not only the city has a large number of cars, rural areas also often have traffic jams, which is also an important indicator of our economic development.
But as the number of private cars continues to increase, a lot of waste is also generated, such as discarded car tires. Because of the safety of driving, car tires can generally not be reused, so after the car tires reach a certain degree of wear, they must be replaced to ensure the safety of driving.
However, car tires are non-degradable materials, and with the increasing number of private cars, the amount of discarded car tires piled up on the mainland has reached a very frightening amount, which has caused us a big problem, that is, how should these waste tires be handled? Just when we are at a loss, there is news from Africa that they are going to buy our discarded tires on a large scale, so what is going on?
For us, discarded car tires are not only useless, but also bring the harm of environmental pollution. But for Africa, they can turn discarded car tires into treasure and reuse them. As we all know, Africa's economy is very backward, so their industrial level is far lower than the rest of the world, and many families still live a life without food and clothing.
In addition, we can also learn from various sources that many Africans do not wear shoes. The reason why they don't wear shoes is not because they have this traditional custom, but because shoes are more luxurious for them, and many families can't afford it. The reason why African countries buy a large number of discarded car tires from the mainland is to make a simple pair of slippers.
Because the weather in Africa is relatively hot, slippers are shoes they can wear all year round. And the tire is very strong and wear-resistant, and the process of processing into slippers is also very simple, and there is no technical difficulty. Therefore, discarded car tires have also become the best material for them to make slippers, because abandoned car tires are not only simple to process, but also the slippers made are cheap and many civilians can afford to wear them.
epilogue
All in all, there is not so much garbage in our lives, the so-called garbage, just misplaced resources. For example, discarded car tires are a pile of useless garbage in our eyes, but for Africans, they can be processed into a pair of slippers, which are not only durable, but also low in price, satisfying the desire of many Africans who live in difficulty to wear shoes.
Today's topic: Waste tires "turn waste into treasure"? Africa buys a lot of Chinese waste tires, which is "such" use
