Observation of the National Day Week: Shocking Garbage in Scenic Spots, Environmental Impact Should not Be Underestimated

The National Day Week ended happily under the congested red taillights. According to the calculation of the data center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, 765 million people traveled domestically during the National Day Week holiday. What an amazing number, it truly reflects that "the worldly fireworks are the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people." In the busy years, you can have some leisure and comfort, feel the vast territory of the motherland, and sigh at the wonders of nature!

However, not everything you see is scenery! Just as you sigh at the hazy and quiet mountains like ink paintings, a childish voice will lead your eyes to the cliff under your feet, "What's below?" You may sigh again, but with a little more anger, or even a little sadness! Under the cliff is the masterpiece of the so-called "travelers" and "nature lovers" - garbage, shining brightly in the sun!

Carelessly discarding is creating a lasting disaster! Most of the plastics currently in use are difficult to degrade. Over time, they will turn into invisible microplastic particles called MPs. When these particles are diffused in the air, they accumulate in our lungs and respiratory tract. Microplastics also enter our digestive system through food and drinking water, and may also accumulate in the intestines. So, can we still stay healthy?
