How to write an environmental investigation report for primary school students

Primary School Students Environmental Protection Investigation Report

1. Investigator: Members of Group 6, Class 1, Grade 5

2. Time and objects of investigation

On the afternoon of December 25, 2008, the sun was blazing and the weather was hot. I conducted field research on disposable soaps, toothbrushes, towels, etc. used in hotels, supermarkets, and convenience stores. During the investigation, I gained a lot of knowledge and also discovered some problems that urgently need to be solved.

3. Findings of the investigation:

During the investigation, I gained a lot, and also discovered some existing problems:

1: Various , a wide variety

Needless to say, there are now a wide variety of disposable products, and new products are constantly being introduced. These products range from large to small, and they have everything. Note from the composition website:

Two: Easy to use, low price

These disposable items do not need to be washed or repaired, they can be thrown away after use, and they are easy to carry, so many people like to use them. And because these disposable items are made of plastic and paper, the price is not high. You can buy 20 to 30 paper cups for 5 yuan. In some wholesale department stores, many disposable chopsticks and plastic lunch boxes are scattered on the stalls for people to buy. A bundle of 500 pairs, the wholesale price is only 6 yuan. The average price per pair is only 0.012 yuan. This low price attracts many small owners in the catering industry. This is one of the reasons why when we eat in small restaurants, we use disposable chopsticks and spoons.

Three: Serious waste and varying quality

According to relevant data, the Chinese market consumes 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks every year, consuming 1.66 million cubic meters of wood. In Beijing alone, 800,000 sets of disposable lunch boxes and chopsticks are consumed every day; that is 292 million sets 365 days a year. A pair of disposable chopsticks weighs 5.5 grams, and the total weight of 292 million pairs of chopsticks is 1,606 tons, which is equivalent to 3,212 cubic meters of wood. So much wood is used in seemingly inconspicuous disposable items. Such a large amount of consumption is shocking.

The folded figures best illustrate the waste of resources caused by these disposable products. According to statistics, the total weight of the "six small items (disposable items provided by hotels)" discarded by hotels in Shanghai in a year is 1,814 tons, and nearly one million yuan is invested every year to dispose of these "six small items". This shows that these items not only cause great damage to the ecology and resources, but also waste a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Moreover, the items vary in quality.

Four: Difficult to recycle and utilize

Disposable items bring huge waste, but few manufacturers will directly recycle used disposable items. The main reason is that Recycling single-use items is very difficult. From the perspective of energy conservation, these disposable products are a serious waste of resources. The difficulty in recycling some disposable items makes them become useless waste products that are discarded at will, causing great pollution to the environment. Because most of them are made of plastic, they are difficult to degrade in the soil after being landfilled, becoming a new source of pollution in cities.

Based on the above aspects, disposable products do more harm than good. So now many hotels are considering whether to cancel the supply of disposable items. For example, customers in many foreign countries bring their own set of toiletries when staying in hotels. If customers do not make special requests, the hotel will not change sheets and towels every day, nor will it proactively provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, combs, body soap, shampoo and other disposable supplies. Since 1992, hotels in South Korea have stopped providing disposable items, and most hotels in Malaysia have stopped providing them since the early 1990s. Of course, customers can also go to the service desk to pick up these items if necessary. But it is also very difficult to completely change people's habits.

Through this self-investigation report, I have gained an in-depth understanding of environmental protection knowledge, increased social knowledge, and exercised my ability to practice in society.
