【Today's Headlines Exclusive】India's Environmental Challenge: The Love-Hate Behind the Garbage Siege
The 3,800 tonnes of garbage piled up in Delhi, India, have not only been disposed of, but also touched on the citizens' right to a clean environment, which is enshrined in the Indian Constitution. India's Supreme Court has even publicly called for the time to face up to this ecological and livelihood crisis. You have to find a solution!
If you've just stepped onto the streets of India's ancient civilization, you'll be greeted by plastic bags dancing in the wind and mountains of garbage hillocks.
At a time when plastic pollution has become a global public hazard, India's plight is particularly prominent.
Next, I will take you to see how India is struggling and exploring to find hope in this protracted battle against "white pollution".
India's "dirty" secret: the garbage trap
Indian beauty
When it comes to India, do you think you will encounter an exotic visual feast?
But this article may shatter your cognition! In the streets and alleys of India, all kinds of plastic waste perform their "free dance", and deep in the alleys, garbage mountains silently tell forgotten stories.
The Ganges River in India
The Ganges, the sacred river of life, is now covered with white garbage, and 200 million tons of plastic waste is a heavy burden for the Ganges River.
A calf cow, known locally as the sacred cow in India, was not only taken away from his life but also touched the heartstrings of the people because he accidentally ate an excessive amount of plastic, and the dialogue with the garbage problem is urgent.
The curse of plastic: the pervasiveness of white pollution
In India, plastic products are an integral part of daily life, they make life easier, but they also weave an environmental dilemma that is difficult to solve. Plastics are everywhere, from shopping bags to food packaging, but once they have fulfilled their short-lived mission, they become "eternal residents" of the environment.
The degradation process of plastic is extremely long, and other treatment methods will greatly occupy land resources and cause pollution to the environment. India alone accounts for two-thirds of the world's most polluted cities in the United Nations. As far as the country is concerned, it is perennially the most polluted country in the world.
India's garbage problem ranks high in the United Nations, but even so, India's attitude towards these garbage is still extremely "Buddha-nature".
In India, garbage can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and even in the ditches, and near the walls or corners, it is piled up into "hills". But even with this mess, Indians have no regard for the garbage, and there is no one to clean it up.
The road to governance: between challenge and innovation
In the face of the garbage siege, the Indian government could not sit still, and the government and civil society joined hands to launch a tug-of-war with garbage. Indian experts have come up with ideas.
The first option, landfilling, which may seem straightforward but costly, should not be buried permanently.
The second option, incineration, is efficient, but it may trigger a "red alert" for air quality.
Some people even suggested that they could use this white garbage to pave the way. It's a good idea, but don't you want to think about the smell if you use garbage to pave the road and encounter the hot summer day? If you accidentally have a "poison gas leak", it will be embarrassing.
Fun fact: The Danish embassy's complaints
On May 8, Denmark's ambassador to India, Freddy Swane, posted a video on social media complaining about the garbage-ridden environment around him.
Freddie posted on the official account of the Danish Embassy in India: "This is the lovely, green New Delhi, and it's sad that they just talk about it but don't put it into action." ”
Freddie himself showed the audience the situation of the garbage around the embassy, which was supposed to be a driveway, but was occupied by garbage, and nearby residents did whatever they wanted.
Epilogue:
Whether India can successfully take off the hat of "dirty country" and realize the magnificent transformation from a pollution dilemma to a green model will not only test the wisdom and determination of the government, but also call for the participation and contribution of every citizen.
Sometime in the future, when we gaze at the Ganges again, we may be pleasantly surprised to find that plastic fish has been replaced by environmental guardians, and the clear rivers bear witness to the success of India's environmental revolution
