I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 737 Brushing the Hippo's Teeth

With doubts, Tang Xiaoxin looked at another sign next to it!

There are several little people drawn in the shape of cartoons, each speaking different points of view.

"Nature is very powerful, don't be too selfish, we don't have much impact on nature."

"Sooner or later, technology will invent new things to solve this problem! Even if we reduce the use of plastic by 20% or 30%, will the cetaceans in the sea not die?"

"We ordinary people don't need to think about this issue. This kind of thing should be considered by the government, enterprises and scientific research institutions. Others have not done my job well."

"Just recycle the plastic and you'll be fine."

It's not easy to deal with, so we often bury our heads in the sand, pretend the problem doesn't exist, and even come up with all sorts of lame reasons to perfunctory ourselves.

Nature's ability to adapt is of course strong, but it also has a limit, and what human beings have done has already broken through this limit.

The development of technology does not solve all problems, and even brings new problems, just like plastics. Technology cannot regulate the global climate, nor can it prevent millions of tons of plastic from being eaten by animals in the sea, releasing toxic substances.

Scientists even issue warnings, but how heeded the warnings? There are still many people who think that global warming is a conspiracy theory... And the government also has priorities. Construction, development, and education are all worth doing. Where does the environment rank? Environmental concerns are not a priority.

As for recycling, in the world, only about 10% of the plastics that are actually recycled, and 40% of the plastics are not easy to recycle. The collection, sorting, treatment and reuse of waste requires significant capital investment. Recycling is not magic either. Putting plastic in the recycling bin will turn it into a new plastic package that costs nothing, still consumes water and energy, and cannot be reused indefinitely.

Even if there is a recycling system, there will still be a lot of plastic products left out, such as drifting away in the wind, and finally into the ocean.

Things we can do:

1. Thinking. When shopping, I usually think about the product itself. Now I can think about whether I really need this thing, and is there a more environmentally friendly alternative? Companies will only make changes when they sense consumer demand.

2. Reject unnecessary items and reduce the use of plastics. All kinds of disposable things, such as straws, can't drink drinks without straws? When you go out to drink water, bring your own water bottle, go shopping in the supermarket, prepare a handbag by yourself, or continue to use the plastic bag from the last shopping.

Go to dine-in, reduce takeout orders, or at least prepare your own chopsticks and spoons, and mark that no cutlery is required. Your own utensils are not clean and hygienic compared to disposable ones.

Toothbrushes are also common on the beach, and the enormous amount of litter turns into thousands of small pieces over time. The next time you buy a toothbrush, consider a degradable bamboo toothbrush, or a toothbrush with a brush head that doesn't change the handle, which can also reduce some plastic.

These are small things that ordinary people can do. If everyone has this awareness, a lot of plastic waste can be reduced.

3. Repair, broken clothes, toys, broken mobile phones, you can consider repairing them to extend the service life, instead of buying a new one directly. The old clothes were three years old and three years old, and three years of sewing and mending. But now that the material level is abundant, it is probably not easy to find a shop that repairs clothes. Perhaps with the increasingly serious environmental problems, this ethos will slowly come back in the future.

4. Reuse, now many second-hand websites, such as second-hand book trading platforms, catch more fish, the original price of 160 books, the second-hand price is only 60, isn't this fragrant? After reading the book, you can also sell it for blood.

As for recycling, the most important thing is actually the first few steps, reducing the generation of plastic waste from the root cause, recycling is the last choice, and the various problems of recycling have been mentioned earlier.

Our behavior towards the environment is constantly changing as our awareness increases. In the past, everyone ran red lights, urinated, and persuaded to drink alcohol without feeling anything wrong. Now, although these behaviors have not disappeared, they have restrained a lot.

There are many specific examples on the exhibition board, and all of them can be done by ordinary people.

After everyone saw the exhibition card, they all showed thoughtful expressions.

Maybe try it in your life?

The problem of plastic is called every day, but I don't know how serious the situation is.

Everyone enjoys the convenience brought by plastic, but no one wants to live on a planet full of non-degradable garbage.

There is a saying that do not take evil for small things, and do not do good things if you are small. It is also very applicable here.

Reducing the use of plastic products in some small places in life will greatly improve the environment over time. If everyone doesn't care, pretend to be an ostrich, find various reasons for themselves not to take action, and wait until it is imminent. When you try to find a way to solve the problem, then you really can't be saved.

...

Tang Xiaoxin and the others had a meal at the animal restaurant, and then went to the zoo in the afternoon.

Hippo Pavilion!

When he came here, Tang Xiaoxin couldn't help but slapped his hand: "Hey, this taste is really strong!"

Qian Ke said ridiculously: "It's just right!"

Although the water in the Hippo Museum is very diligent and the water looks very clear, with the hippo's ability to make manure, it will not take long for the whole area to be filled with its smell.

This is also a unique experience that can only be felt when you come to the zoo.

At first glance, no hippo was found, but following the eyes of other tourists, there was a black shadow in the water on the bank.

The fat hippo exposed the top of its head, like a gray inconspicuous stone on the water, observing the surroundings with round eyes.

At this time, a breeder in overalls came over!

Seeing the breeder, Fatty stood up from the water, revealing his huge body, and then Dudu also floated up, causing ripples to appear on the calm water.

"Wow~"

"It's amazing! It's huge!"

Seeing such a scene, the tourists suddenly exclaimed!

It's like a submarine suddenly floated up from the water, and the impact is no worse than the beauty's bathing, and even more shocking.

The breeder usually takes a large brush to clean the hippo's mouth every once in a while.

When the two hippos saw the breeder with a brush, they knew that they were going to brush their teeth, and they couldn't wait to open their mouths, revealing a few sturdy teeth, ready to receive cleaning services.

The breeder first served Pang Pang, shoved it around in its mouth, opened the thick meat, and checked the health of its oral cavity.
