How did the environment in Japan become so clean?

Fish can be raised in sewers, the sky is often as clear as washing, and small towns in big cities are very clean.

Japan is one of the cleanest countries in the world, whether it is a big city or a small city or a remote village. Smog weather has never been heard of in Japan.

Taking a photo on a sunny day in Japan seems to have its own filter effect, which is very pure.

The reason why Japan's environment is so clean is related to both natural reasons and Japan's own behavior.

First of all, Japan has a climate advantage.

The climate in Japan is similar to that in the north and south of China. The northern part of Japan is temperate and the southern part is subtropical and humid, and the distribution area is roughly the same.

Comparatively speaking, as an island country, Japan's climate and environment are increasingly affected by the ocean. There is abundant precipitation in Japan all year round, and the rivers are short but the flow is sufficient.

As we all know, usually precipitation can effectively make dust pollutants in the air fall into the land, so the air after rain is fresher and cleaner.

Thanks to the prevailing southeast wind all the year round, Japan has a lot of precipitation and sea breeze all the year round, and pollutants are difficult to collect, so the air in most parts of central Japan is better all year round.

Second, economic prosperity and industrial transfer.

Most common pollution comes from industrial development. Usually, the pollution in China is heavier, and the prosperous countries have been seriously polluted.

In modern times and the early postwar period, Japan also experienced a period of heavy pollution. Minamata disease, which was popular in those days, was the best example of pollution in Japan's industrial period, and the Japanese people at that time also suffered greatly.

With the rapid rise of Japan's economy, Japan's foreign industries immediately stopped upgrading on a large scale. Many industries with high energy consumption and high pollution were transferred to other overseas regions from time to time by Japan, and Japan gradually occupied the upstream of the industrial chain.

In this situation, industrial pollution in other parts of Japan is naturally less and less, which is typical of most prosperous countries, not just Japan.

Moreover, Japan stops industrial promotion from time to time, and industrial pollution in other places decreases from time to time. At the same time, Japan can further improve the environmental quality of other places through the huge wealth it obtains from time to time.

Third, Japan's perfect garbage sorting and recycling.

Japan has a large area but a population of hundreds of millions, and the livable land is very limited, so the population density is amazing. In addition, Japan is short of most resources, so it attaches great importance to the recovery and utilization of resources.

In Japan, the application of residue recycling is very early. In fact, many so-called dross that are usually discarded are just not effectively used. If it can be effectively recycled, it will reduce dregs and increase resources.

Almost all the central areas in Japan strictly require garbage to stop sorting and recycling. One day, residents regularly throw away their garbage, and they can't litter at will. Residents have special personnel to stop recycling garbage.

It is precisely because of Japan's effective recycling of dross that the amount of unrecoverable dross produced by Japan as a whole is finally very limited, thus improving the overall environmental quality of Japan.

Fourth, Japan is generally a little tidy.

It's easy to find out whether you have been in contact with Japan or watched Japanese dramas. Japanese people really love hygiene generally, which can be seen from their ordinary living habits.

Wash your hands and rinse your mouth before going home, and change your shoes in the door. The population density in Japan is really too high. In this environment, if we do not pay attention to environmental maintenance, the environment will become very bad. Just look at India and you will know a thing or two.

In order to ensure health and hygiene, Japan has to pay attention to environmental problems, not only the personal home environment, but also the surrounding living environment.

In traditional Japanese culture, cleanliness is highly respected, and Japanese decoration also adheres to this style. To exaggerate, most Japanese people are a little neat, so it is hard to tolerate the unclean situation in the center where I live.

Fifth, the inevitability of high prosperity of economy, science and technology.

China's development is often at the expense of the environment, and all rich countries have experienced this process, so the general environment is better and it has economic and technological advantages.

Japan has sufficient financial resources and scientific and technological strength to improve environmental quality. For example, nuclear power, hydropower and wind power generation are widely implemented in Japan, and the proportion of thermal power generation with a lot of pollution is very low, and the main consumption of thermal power generation in Japan is oil, not coal.

Japan's application of clean energy is in the forefront of the world, and the development level of clean energy technology is also in the forefront of the world. Many polluting technologies were once discarded or transferred by Japan.

So as long as it reaches a certain level of prosperity, it can not only enjoy a high level of life and death, but also ensure that the environment is maintained at the highest level. Japan's ability to maintain the environment so well is closely related to its strong scientific and technological economic strength.

Sixth, improve education and laws before opening the bow.

The literacy rate in Japan reached 34% before the Meiji Restoration, and once exceeded 99% in 19 10. Even in the ordinary world, this level of education is quite high.

Since kindergarten, Japan's own education is to maintain the living environment, but Japan's concern for the living environment seems to be limited to the Japanese archipelago, excluding other centers of the earth.

At the same time, there are various environmental laws and regulations in Japan, which are extremely detailed, such as littering and creating pollution at will, and will be severely punished in Japan.

With the improvement of in-depth education and the relative perfection of legal restrictions, Japan attaches great importance to its own environment, and the cost of destroying the environment is extremely high, which makes Japan dare not destroy the environment at will.
