German immigrant environment: where is Germany's environmental protection better than ours?

# German Immigrants # Introduction The beautiful scenery in Germany is highly praised by many tourists. From northern Germany to southern Germany, from industrial and mining to rural areas, the scenery is charming and the air is fresh. This depends not only on the changeable and beautiful original natural features, but also on its spare efforts in environmental protection projects. The open grasslands, pollution-free windmills and clear rivers are breathtaking compared with the frequent dusty weather and smog in China. What achievements has Germany made in environmental protection? Let me tell you here.

From northern Germany to southern Germany, from industrial and mining to rural areas, the scenery is charming and the air is fresh. Continuous forests, open grasslands, pollution-free windmills and clear rivers all reflect the peace and harmony brought by environmental protection. Here is a brief introduction to Germany's environmental achievements.

Industrial waste gas: install filters on chimneys

As early as 40 years ago, Germany began to control air pollution. Since the end of 1970s, Germany has required power stations and garbage incineration plants to filter their waste gas, so as to reduce the contents of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide and prevent the formation of acid rain and the pollution of forest soil.

Automobile exhaust: catalytic converter and environmental protection zone make breathing more comfortable.

Urban air pollution comes not only from the exhaust gas from factories and power stations, but also from the increasing number of cars. As early as 1973, the catalytic converter specially used to reduce automobile exhaust pollution has been listed. Although this catalyst was not widely used until 1989, the effect was immediate. After testing, the emissions of toxic waste gas such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are obviously reduced.

Lead pollution: replace new water pipes and promote unleaded gasoline.

The use of leaded gasoline and leaded drinking water pipes will also pose a serious threat to people's health. In 1970s, the average blood lead content of Germans was per liter140mg, but now this index has dropped to 50mg per liter. Because the lead content per liter of blood exceeds 100 mg, it is easy to cause nervous system damage in children. For the sake of children's health, Germany took the lead in promoting unleaded gasoline and replacing lead-free water pipes. The promotion of unleaded gasoline in Europe has also been 1 1 year.

Garbage disposal: the champion of garbage recycling-Germany

Before Xiao Wei met Germany, he introduced Germany's fine garbage classification system in detail. As early as 1904, Germany began to carry out classified collection of municipal waste. People's domestic waste must be classified, including paper waste, food waste and glass waste. Among them, glass waste is divided into three types: white glass, yellow glass and green glass. The classification and recycling of garbage has formed a mature and reasonable system in Germany.

River pollution control: once a stinking pond has become today's swimming pool.

For a long time, rivers have been a shortcut for human beings to dump garbage. Factories along the river directly discharge untreated sewage into the river, causing serious river pollution. In 2000, a decree issued by the European Union greatly improved the water quality of European oceans, rivers and lakes. Nowadays, rivers such as the Elbe River have come back to life, and a large number of underwater creatures have reappeared.

1992, scientists found only 50 kinds of fish in the elbe river. 20 10, the number increased to 1 12. Salmon, which was extinct as early as 1950s, reappeared in the Rhine. Victoria fans who have the opportunity to travel to Germany must not forget to take a look at the Rhine River and feel the crystal clear water quality.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Germany attaches great importance to urban greening, with exquisite and unique parks and green spaces everywhere. Buildings, halls and the three-dimensional traffic circling back and forth are also covered with trees and flowers, and the whole city is like a garden.

Therefore, when many voices are constantly warning us not to always buy German products and not to travel overseas like that, shouldn't we actually face up to such problems at home? There are not only serious environmental problems such as water pollution, air pollution and desertification, but also food safety problems such as fake goods, fake and inferior commodities and waste oil are often seen in daily life. If these problems cannot be properly solved, please don't blame so many people for taking the road of purchasing.
