When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy(垃圾分类政策) in July 2019, the city's residents(居民) took some time to get used to it.They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff(工作人员)standing by the bins would ask,“What kind of garbage are yours?"

Starting on May 1,2020,Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage sorting policy People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups kitchen，recyclable，hazardous(有害的)and other waste

These groups are represented(代表) by four different colors of trash bins-green,blue, red and gray.Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may be fined(被罚款)up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.

Some cities like Shanghai and Qingdao sort their trash differently.These cities use four different groups: wet,recyclable,harmful and dry.Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. In fact, wet garbage in Shanghai is kitchen garbage in Beijing. And dry garbage is the same as other waste,China Youth Daily reported.

To help residents sort their trash correctly,the Beijing government is offering online guidelines.

How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or recycle them? How about eating them?

The bags are not harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural materials. It looks and feels just like plastic, but can break down(分解)easily

It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water.Hedge was happy to show it in his interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.

There are more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste in India every day.But only 9,00 tons are processed. In China,3 billion plastic bags are used every day.Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution(解决方法) to the world problem of plastic pollution.
