Manifesto: White Pollution
White pollution is one of the social problems in China that was highly concerned by people and the government. The government legislates "the banning law" regarding free plastic bags and aims to promote people's awareness of White Pollution.
"The banning law" aims to reduce the use and produce of plastic bags in China and further reduce white pollution. Because plastic bags are vulnerable and consumable, each year China would consume enormous amount of plastic bags. Though plastic bags are convenient, at the mean time, they can cause severe environment pollution and terrible waste of energy and resource. Especially for super-thin plastic bags. These bags can be easily damaged and mostly they are randomly discarded and become the main source of white pollution. As a result, in order to promote the utilization of resources and protect the environment, it's significant for the government to supervise enterprises to produce durable and recyclable plastic bags and encourage people to reasonably use plastic bags.
To convince people about the virtue of the law, the government conveys the "evil" side of plastic and how plastic can endanger the environment. In most major cities, street slogans with words that it's everyone's responsibility to protect the environment are everywhere. Many advertisements with respect to using cloth bags instead of plastic bags are shown on TV. The government tries to make people believe that it's their moral legibility to follow the law.
The implementation of the ban on free plastic bags is the most significant part. In almost every city, town and village, there are local markets and this is the place that's hardest to implement the law. Those vegetable vendors cannot easily get rid of the dependence on this kind of small thin plastic bags. If they charge on the plastic bags, they may lose business to their counterparts.
