During the National Day, it is the busy autumn harvest season!
The early rice in the south is generally harvested around September 10, but the glutinous grain will be late, and it is harvested during the National Day, for example, the glutinous grain has just been harvested on October 2 in the hometown of salted fish.
The rice in the north is relatively late, just harvested on National Day.
Harvesting rice inevitably comes with a new problem of the 21st century – banning straw burning.
The expert who proposed a ban on straw burning was a Japan spy
His name is Dong Yuyu, the highest deputy director of "Guangming Daily", and he will be arrested in May 2023!
Pros and cons of burning straw
Advantage:
1. Reduce pests and diseases: Burning straw can effectively kill the bacteria and eggs parasitic on the straw, thereby reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases and reducing the use of pesticides.
2. Reduce weeds: Burning straw can remove the seeds of weeds, reduce the number of weeds, and reduce the use of herbicides.
3. Increase soil nutrients: The ash after incineration contains elements such as phosphorus and potassium, which can be absorbed by the soil to provide nutrients for crops and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
Harm:
Air pollution: Burning straw produces large amounts of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and inhalable particulate matter, which seriously pollutes the air and endangers human health
There is a risk of fire.
Foreign Practices:
United States: Restrictive allowed
Japan: Restrictive permits
Continental practice
Straw burning is prohibited in the mainland, and the law clearly stipulates that it is not allowed.
Once the rice is harvested in the village where the salted fish is located, a notice will be issued:

In ancient China, for burning, burning straw polluted the air only accounted for a small part, and more was brought by firewood burning in the kitchen.
In modern times, there are some wood-burning fires in the kitchen, but more often there are induction cookers and gas stoves.
Then in terms of burning, the burning of straw suddenly became prominent.
But compared to burning straw, there is actually more air pollution from factories, oil trucks, etc.
Can we also learn from United States and Japan practices to allow straw burning with conditions and restrictions?
