Why is the air environment in Japan good?

Japan is a popular tourist destination. The air and natural environment here are very clean and clear. Compared with China, it's nothing, but Japanese industry is still very developed. So how did Japan do it?

We often see relevant videos and reports. For example, the wheels and bodies of Japanese cars can often be used as mirrors, which are absolutely clean and bright. It is said that the frequency of car washing is very low, which is really shocking. Domestic private cars are absolutely ashamed to run around outside.

Nagoya to Shikoku 10 minute drive, Shikoku was the largest industrial zone in Honshu, Japan in 1950s and 1960s. From the picture, I never imagined that in 1956, when Japan's economy was developing rapidly, it would be a dirty and miserable world, a cat in hell.

Because there was a cat suicide that shocked the world here. That's because the development of industry has caused serious pollution of air and water.

People and animals suffer from severe asthma, which is the "Minamata disease" that will stir the world in the future. This is a strange disease. It is a public hazard caused by industrial waste gas polluting the air and wastewater discharging polluting the water source.

Symptoms include slurred speech, stumbling, facial dementia, paralysis of hands and feet, sensory disturbance, decreased vision, tremor, deformation of hands and feet, and in severe cases, mental disorder, or deep sleep, or excitement, bending over and screaming until death.

Known as one of the eight major public hazards in the world. In this process, the performance of cats is particularly fierce. In the worst period, many cats committed suicide by throwing themselves into wells, rivers and seas, which was terrible and shocking.

This has led to Japan's cost-free environmental protection movement, the most complicated garbage disposal regulations and meticulous environmental protection norms.

Since then, most highly polluting industries have moved abroad, and those industries that cannot move out have been subject to the strictest pollution control in the world. It is stipulated that no tree can be cut down in Japan, and the garbage classification is so detailed that it has become an annoying and unavoidable system engineering and daily life. No one in Japan can litter, because it can't bear the consequences of littering. Littering will become a very serious mistake and must be held responsible for it.

If you want to throw away an old TV set, you must first put it in the material recycling office and wait for someone to collect it. If unclaimed, you have to pay a garbage disposal fee of about 3,000 yen.

There are garbage bins in general public places, but there are as many as seven sorting boxes. In a expressway service area with many tourists, there are actually 2 1 L garbage sorting boxes, and there will be three for paper alone. When a mineral water bottle is thrown into the trash can, it must be divided into three parts, one is the cap, the other is to tear off the label, and the third is to crush the bottle.

Without long-term training, it is impossible to figure out how to deal with the garbage in your hand. A man in our tour group bought a new suitcase and put it in the hotel room, indicating that he didn't want it. As a result, we all went to Tokyo from Osaka. The hotel called the tour guide and said that he could not handle the suitcase and asked him to take it away. The tour guide said you can just throw it away. The hotel said you can't throw it, it will cost a lot of money, and even if you spend money, there is no place to throw it.

As a result, I had no choice but to take a taxi back and take the box away. It cost sixteen thousand yen to take a taxi, which is close to one thousand RMB. The man was about to cry, so he had to take it home and throw it away.

Taxis in Japan are extremely expensive, so it's best to know the price before taking a taxi in Japan. The best way is to take the subway. Many hotels also have free shuttle buses to and from big cities like Tokyo.

Because of the lack of resources in Japan, all the garbage that can be used has been recycled, and the garbage that cannot be used has been pressed into particles for recycling. It is said that eight tons of garbage can be compressed into the size of a peanut.

Osaka Airport reclaimed land with garbage, and Tokyo reclaimed land with coal imported from China compressed into granules 15 years, creating 18 artificial islands, equivalent to the size of three Hong Kong, regardless of cost.

After twenty or thirty years' efforts, Japan has regained the cleanest water and air with the efforts of the whole people and society. It's very kind of you to turn Japan into a paradise for people and animals.
