簡介:寒假社會實踐報告寒假社會實踐報告實踐的主題環(huán)境保護時間2013年1月20日2013年2月20日地點山東省濰坊市昌邑市現(xiàn)將此次實踐活動的有關(guān)情況報告于下人們都有這樣的經(jīng)歷一大盒禮品,拆開一看,大部分是用泡沫塑料填充的;去商店買一支牙膏或一盒玩具,售貨員會用一個小塑料袋包裝;去快餐店吃快餐,服務員會遞給你一份用塑料盒裝的飯菜;去農(nóng)貿(mào)市場,可以收集到一大堆塑料袋,蔬菜、水果、肉類、米面無一不用塑料袋裝給你,甚至買一頭蒜,也會用一只小塑料袋裝起來。塑料制品給我們的生活帶來的許多方便,而且價錢也便宜。但是,你可曾想過,它在為人們提供方便的同時,也給人們帶來了一場“白色災難”。同時這些“白色污染”也很大程度上折射出一種不良現(xiàn)象浪費。現(xiàn)如今國家大力提倡節(jié)約,反對鋪張浪費,掀起的一潮潮的“光盤計劃”讓我們廣大百姓感受到正能量的存在。為了響應社會節(jié)約要求,我們必須要反對浪費,節(jié)儉生活,做到這樣我們的“白色污染”方能解決。想想新聞上那些由于“浪費和白色污染”引起的災難和那些觸目驚心的數(shù)字,無疑讓我們感覺生存和環(huán)境息息相關(guān)5、我又去了昌邑市環(huán)衛(wèi)所。環(huán)衛(wèi)所的李叔叔告訴我,在他們昌邑市,每天有300多名環(huán)衛(wèi)工人為昌邑的環(huán)境衛(wèi)生辛勤地工作著。在那里,我還了解到了“白色污染”的真正組成,并初步了解了“白色污染”危害。6、為了擺脫困難,在學長和同學的幫助下,我利用網(wǎng)絡進行研究。網(wǎng)絡會是我的得力助手,我在QQ空間里發(fā)起了問卷調(diào)查,雖然僅僅局限于我的好友,但也是不可忽視的力量。在網(wǎng)上我尋找到了一片廣闊的空間,使我對“白色污染”有了更為深刻的認識。這對我撰寫文章有很大的幫助。二、什么是“白色污染”“白色污染”已成為一個眾所周知的新型名詞。那么,到底什么是“白色污染”呢“白色污染”主要指白色的發(fā)泡塑料飯盒,各種塑料袋,農(nóng)用地膜等給環(huán)境造成的污染。“白色污染”物的主要成分為聚乙烯PE、聚氯乙烯PV、聚丙烯PP、聚苯乙烯樹脂PS。在這些污染物中,還加入了增塑劑,發(fā)泡劑,熱穩(wěn)定劑,抗氧化劑等。三、造成“白色污染”的主要原因1、塑料垃圾沒有得到妥善的管理和處置,垃圾沒有實行分類收集,能回收回的不回收利用。
