Time came to December, and Daguang Guang returned to work at Ruhao Tea Restaurant after leaving his job at Xixili Group Company, still working at his previous warehousing position.
Early in the morning that morning, Lao Dou’s mother was about to go out when she heard the phone ringing, and Lao Dou picked it up. After chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone, turned around and said to Kang Qirui, the boss Guang and his second sister-in-law who were resting at home today: "There will be a meeting in the street at 10:30 about garbage classification. Your mother and I will go My third uncle, he’s in the hospital. You three can just go find someone if you have nothing to do at home.” Lao Dou went out.
Second sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said: "Uncle, what a coincidence. I made an appointment with a master to dye my hair. This kind of meeting is the most suitable for you to go to. Maybe you can have a big meal after the meeting." Here we go." She stood up and went back to her room.
The boss rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "If there is really a dinner party, why don't you go? Are you talking about something?" As he said that, he turned to look at Kang Qirui, who also started to fight. He thought: "Arui, you have nothing to do today anyway, and you are just sitting here waiting for dinner. Why don't you go to the street for a meeting?"
The second sister-in-law also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, your school has regular meetings anyway, you are used to it. The street meetings are definitely not as long as the meetings in your school."
Kang Qi Rui waved his hand, neither saying he wanted to go nor saying not to go. The second sister-in-law and the boss just looked at each other, decided to take it as Kang Qirui's consent, and went back to their rooms.
When Lao Dou's mother came back for lunch at noon, Lao Dou asked: "By the way, there is a meeting in the street today. What is the content?" The second sister-in-law and the boss Guangjun only focused on eating, Kang Qi Rui didn't say anything either. Lao Dou asked again: "Hey, hey, I want to ask you, this year you are going to the street meeting, what is the content?"
The second sister-in-law and the boss both looked at Kang Qirui, Kang Qirui, Qi Rui thought for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Old Dou, you and your mother went to visit your third uncle today. How is he? Is he okay?"
Old Dou was not moved by Kang Qi Rui's words. Although he was biased, he still insisted: "Now I ask you what is the content of today's meeting? Tell me."
"That's right, Master, he went to a meeting." The second sister-in-law pointed at Kang Qirui and said, "Just look at him. He went to a meeting and he will tell you."
Kang Qi Rui shrugged and said, "I didn't go."
"Baizai, that means neither of you went, right?" When Lao Dou heard this, he became furious, "I told you I can’t do anything well.”
“Actually, the purpose of holding a garbage sorting meeting today is just to tell people not to litter. Our Kang family has done a pretty good job. Who dares to admit that he is the first if he admits that he is the second? It doesn’t matter if this kind of meeting can’t be held,” the boss said.
Lao Dou disagreed and said: "What you said is wrong. Since Director Ye informed us to go to the meeting, there must be something important. If you don't go, you won't give others face. No Support others.”
"Yes, don't underestimate this garbage classification. We in Western developed countries attach great importance to this. It would be wrong for you not to go to the meeting." Diana also agreed with Lao Dou's view.
Kang Qirui was also full at this time, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Old Dou, Diana doesn't know, don't you know? How many years have we been engaged in garbage classification in Guangfu? Fourteenth Fourteenth It started publicizing in 1992, advocated residents to implement garbage classification in 1999, and became one of the eight pilot cities for garbage classification in the country. But so what? "
As early as three years ago, Xiguan District garbage classification Classification coverage once reached 100%. Last year, the domestic waste classification collection and sorting recycling project was listed as one of Shenya's 20 major environmental protection projects. It plans to take five years to form the basic framework of waste classification regulations.
However, all this is just a "utopian" dream.
The simplest question: What is recyclable and what is non-recyclable? The vast majority of citizens cannot tell the difference at all. For example, should batteries be thrown into the "hazardous waste" bin or the "other waste" bin?
Are you dizzy now? You may not have tried the terrifying experience of separating wet and dry food waste and disposing of broken bags. When disposing of food waste, you must break the bag and pour the garbage into the "food waste" bucket, drain the water, and then throw the garbage bag into the "other garbage" bucket.
As soon as the "food waste" bucket is opened, all kinds of wet garbage are accumulated and fermented inside. I can't imagine what kind of smell it will emit.
But these problems None of these are the real reasons why Kang Qirui did not go to the meeting. These problems can still be solved, but the core question is, "If the residents are sorted, can the garbage be transported away in time? When it is transported, is it classified or mixed?" After arriving at the garbage treatment plant, how far can it be classified? Have you thought about these issues?" Kang Qirui looked at Diana and Lao Dou and asked. Diana still wanted to persist, but Lao Dou, the old man, already understood.
After the residents sorted the garbage, the garbage truck still had to wait until the next day to take it away, and it was all dumped together as before. This situation is equivalent to a slap in the face for those citizens who take the initiative to sort garbage. These problems have plagued Guangzhou for 20 years and are the main reasons why the implementation of garbage classification has been unsuccessful.
This is why the garbage classification coverage rate in Xiguan District reached 100% three years ago, but today the streets still need to hold garbage classification meetings. Everyone thinks that since your garbage dumps are not classified, then I will not classify them either.
"We should ask Diana to hold the meeting today. She is the most suitable." The second sister-in-law had also been sorting garbage for a few months back then, and she knew that this kind of thing could not be done at all. Seeing that Diana was still insisting, she teased.
"Oh, maybe the policy has been improved this time." Lao Dou relieved Diana's embarrassment. He thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, I'll call Director Ye and ask."
"Let's go after dinner. Director Ye also has to eat." His mother quickly grabbed him, but Lao Dou couldn't care about that much anymore. He walked to the dining room on his own.
My mother glanced at his back helplessly, and then said angrily to everyone: "You guys really know that you care about the street work the most, but you don't care about the garbage classification. Can this be implemented? There is nothing to lose if you just find someone to hold a meeting.”
As soon as Mom finished speaking, Lao Dou came back angrily. "What instructions does Director Ye have?" Kang Qirui asked.
"What are you talking about? Let's talk about the importance of classifying garbage and environmental protection." Old Dou paused and said, "I don't care what other people do, and I don't care what the garbage trucks do. Since the streets now require us to do garbage Classification, then we, the Kang family, have to do a good job. It’s other people’s business, we have to do it, understand?”
“I know, I know.” Everyone agreed. It doesn't matter at all, Lao Dou just does it.
Lao Dou walked into the kitchen early the next morning and murmured to himself: "The garbage truck came so early today, let's clear out the garbage first."
Xiang Lan She also got up early today. She was making soup in the kitchen and said, "Dad, you don't have to be busy. I'll go out to work later and pour it out."
"This garbage will stink if left for a long time." Lao Dou waved his hand and said. He saw that the soy sauce bottle in the spice rack was empty, so he picked up the bottle and put it in the garbage bag. Xianglan quickly stopped and said: "Dad, this bottle can be recycled. It cannot be put together with these non-recyclable garbage. Didn't you say that garbage should be sorted?"
"This bottle can be recycled?" Lao Dou looked at it He shook his head with the bottle in his hand and said, "No, this is useless garbage. You can throw it away together." "
"Dad, what you said is other people's business. Our Kang family has to sort garbage. "Pianlan is also stubborn, "This bottle can be sold for money after recycling. "
"Don't I know yet? These bottles are very dirty after use. If they were filled with light soy sauce and sold to you, would you eat them? " Old Dou said this.
Xianglan had no choice but to say: "I won't argue with you on this matter. Anyway, Diana hasn't gone to work yet. She knows the most about environmental protection. Let's go together. Ask her? ”
The two of them knocked on the door of Azu Diana's room together and told Diana who opened the door what had happened. Diana smiled and said, "Dad, you are wrong. This glass bottle belongs to recyclable garbage. We European and American countries all classify it like this.”
“That’s right, Dad, they will definitely dispose of it after recycling, and they will definitely not put it in light soy sauce and sell it.” said. (End of this chapter)
