Street ashtrays show civilization

Release Time:2022-06-20

When I travel in Europe, I often see many foreigners puffing and chatting around the garbage cans with ashtrays on the side of the road. It has become a conscious behavior of many citizens to keep cigarette butts on the ground. Recently, many similar new garbage cans have appeared on the streets of Kunming, adding a bright color to the creation of a civilized city.

According to the World Health Organization, cigarette butts are the most common rubbish on the beach and cannot be decomposed. Of the 6 trillion cigarette butts each year, 4.5 trillion (75%) become garbage. The chemicals in cigarette butts not only have a negative impact on human body, but also are toxic to aquatic organisms. For a healthier body and a cleaner earth, stop smoking or reduce cigarette butts. Although it is unrealistic to ban smoking in an all-round way, the small ashtrays on the streets can lead a great civilization, which is part of the street cleaning and sanitation work from a distance, and even more related to the well-being of human homes from a distance.

Recently, Xi'an has set off an upsurge of carrying out the activity of "cigarette butts do not fall on the ground, Xi'an is more beautiful". Beidaihe District of Qinhuangdao city has also extensively and deeply carried out the activity of "cigarette butts revolution to promote the city" with the control of small cigarette butts as the breakthrough and the promotion of urban governance as the main line. In the "cultural creation" activity in Kunming, volunteers picking up garbage and cigarette butts can be seen everywhere. However, we can further advocate the "cigarette butts revolution", promote garbage cans with ashtrays, and reduce the phenomenon of cigarette butts landing through publicity, guidance, rewards and punishments, so as to make the spring city more clean and civilized.
