What are the main dangers to the environment where you live?
Well, there are many serious issues we should deal with in China. In my area, there are a lot
of cement plants that produce an incredible amount of dust, as well as a lot of carbon dioxide
emissions
.
And at night I know they burn a lot of different chemicals and other materials in a kiln
( =
brick oven) in order to create cement. It emits very black smoke which must be highly
toxic
.
In central Fujian, you can find a lot of coal mines, and people complain about severe water
pollution. I guess that many steel plants, iron factories, and chemical manufacturers release
polluted waste in the rivers. It's awful. I went to different websites to get some info and I was
shocked by the pictures I found. In addition, now that people can afford a car, people drive to
work every single day instead of taking public transportation. Cars emit exhaust fumes, especially
during traffic jams at rush hour. It's hard to be optimistic about the situation. On top of this, people
litter in the cities, and we use way more plastic and paper wrapping than we actually need. And in
the countryside, people throw everything in the rivers, particularly in small towns where people
receive no education. It's a real shame.
