Main Body
India makes 62 million tonnes of trash every year. Much of this goes into the ground. This is bad for the city. Old electronics have gold and other expensive metals. India needs to separate plastic, food, and metal at the start. This makes it easier to fix.
印度每年產生 6,200 萬噸垃圾。其中大部分被填埋在地下。這對城市不利。舊的電子產品含有黃金和其他昂貴的金屬。印度需要在初始階段就將塑膠、食物和金屬分開。這樣處理起來會更容易。
New computers and machines help sort the trash. People can also turn food waste into gas for energy. The government uses simple signs to help people put trash in the right bins. This teaches people that plastic has value.
新的電腦和機器有助於分揀垃圾。人們也可以將食物廢棄物轉化為能源氣體。政府使用簡單的標誌來幫助人們將垃圾丟入正確的垃圾桶。這讓人們了解到塑膠是有價值的。
City leaders, small groups, and workers now work together. They build centers to collect and save materials. This creates new jobs for local people. It also makes the cities cleaner and saves money.
城市領導者、小型團體和工人現在共同合作。他們建立了收集與保存材料的中心。這為當地人創造了新的就業機會。同時也讓城市變得更乾淨並節省開支。
