What are the hazards of burning paper? How to persuade the older generation to get rid of such bad habits?

1. Burning paper money really pollutes the environment.

Because paper money is usually made of materials that are not easy to decompose, such as polypropylene, they will release a lot of harmful gases and chemicals when burning. These substances will have a negative impact on air quality and human health, so we should recognize this problem and take active measures to improve environmental quality.

2. Burning paper money also involves superstitious old ideas.

Although there is a profound historical and cultural background in China culture, burning paper money itself cannot guarantee that our ancestors will be blessed. We should pay more attention to our actions and thoughts in order to truly respect and thank our ancestors.

However, we should also realize that burning paper money, as a part of China's traditional culture, is of great significance to our cultural identity and self-awareness to some extent.

Therefore, we should not simply prohibit it, but actively explore and advocate environmental protection and civilized ways to express our respect and gratitude to our ancestors while respecting and inheriting traditional culture.

As a part of China's traditional culture, burning paper money has its shortcomings, but we can't simply give it up. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to environmental protection and civilized ways to express our respect and gratitude, and at the same time promote these ways and positive cultural identity to make them part of our lifestyle and values.
