Qinghai Lake is 360 kilometers around the area of garbage waste management exist in name only

Rape yellow, rich pasture, cattle and sheep flocks, red sunrise to the lake, the birds fly through the air, leaving patches of silhouette in golden lake. ToQinghaiLake person, will be impressed by its vast, azure beauty of free water. Qinghai Lake is the largest inland lake, lake, lake surrounded by towering mountains, the lake has size river nearly 30, is a class 5A National Natural Scenic spot.

However, in recent years, affected by climate change and human activities, Qinghai lake water level continued to decline. Not only that, according to conservative estimates, Qinghai Lake annually to 700000 visitors, the garbage pollution problems with increasingly. Malodorous odor landfill, the lake all kinds of waste flowed on shore, thousands of cattle and sheep died from eating white trash...... This a series of problems, serious damage to the ecological environment of the Qinghai Lake and its surrounding pasture, also brings the serious influence to the pastoral production and living of residents. In the middle of August, "life times" reporter with the mood to Qinghai Lake survey interview.

��Reporter field survey of Qinghai Lake

A bird island, sand island, fairy Bay, Golden Bay and Jiro sword ring Qinghai Lake tourist. In August 10th, the reporters came to the visitors' one of the most Erlang sword. Here is China's first torpedo test base, distanceXining151 kilometers, also known as the 151 base. Qinghai Lake scenic area is located in the east coast, is a strip of land dike, grassland, beach, animal, is rich in natural resources. And now, here are a lot of garbage cover. There is a landfill at a distance of about 10 kilometers of the sword, the reporter far smell a pungent odor. A closer look, the landfill and no seepage, methane collection facilities, just put rubbish in it. The landfill has two landfill area: the south of a landfill construction waste landfill in large area, north is garbage, plastic bottles, cans, food packaging cartons, plastic food packaging bags and food waste are mixed together. A farmer told reporters: "this landfill site without any protective net, the winter wind, there is a lot of garbage will be blown to pasture area. Over the past few years, my home has 17 sheep eat junk food because of death."

A loop around the lake there are a large number of herders to open private attractions, horseback riding, riding a yak, admire oily cauliflower, sand sliding projects more, many tourists like to stay in this spot, make it into the rubbish place. In these places, the reporter did not see the trash, never see people refuse collection. Visitors are directly to the garbage to the side of the road, the grass or sand, beverage bottles, cans, beer bottles and instant noodles barrel everywhere is. These private attractions as close to Qinghai Lake, winter wind comes, Qinghai lake will float to a lot of garbage.

In addition to bring tourists garbage, the local herdsmen in grazing will throw rubbish casually, old clothes, shoes can be seen anywhere. "Because there is no trash, no one to clean up, can only throw." Another herdsman reluctantly said, "but we also reap what one has sown. Last year, more than 400 sheep in my stocking, died more than 70 it is without rhyme or reason. Later, the dead sheep slaughtered sheep, found in the stomach is full of plastic garbage, intestines with plastic bags together. These sheep alive estimates did not suffer less." Then, he bowed his head and sighed, and he turned aside, to look into the distance. It is understood, a sheep can grow to 30 jins Lake in Qinghai for two years, but if you eat "white trash", 4 years is long 30 pounds. These white trash affects not only the absorption function of cattle and sheep, cattle and sheep will lead to reduced pregnancy rate, abortion rate. The feeding of cattle and sheep, especially cattle and sheep, in the 5 years to 10 years do not produce economic benefits. The sheep if death words, herdsman's loss will be less, if two or three years die, the herdsmen out to dry.

According to Tibetan culture to say, they do not want to see the dirty things, but the government is not to waste collection and disposal of pastoral areas do any, they have no other way to make it disappear. Therefore, herdsmen for these garbage is also hate and helpless. Some farmers have to food plastic packaging directly into cooking stove burned.

Subsequently, the reporters came to the lake to the east coast, from afar, a vast lake calm. Came to see not clear lake water, replace sb. Is thrown layers of foam, the muddy waters of the yellow, red garbage to the shore. A sea bird skimmed over the lake, and gradually into a picture, but seems to be related to the immediate these various color garbage be misfits.

����The solid waste management exist in name only

It is understood, previously, Qinghai Lake.TravelingReturn, developmentHenanState,HebeiAnd the 3 County management. After 2008, the Qinghai provincial government set up the Management Bureau of Qinghai Province, Qinghai Lake Scenic Area Protection and utilization, also set up under the Qinghai ProvinceQinghai Lake TouristGroup Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the group), developed by the Qinghai Lake, responsible for the work, the above mentioned the sword from the management of scenic spots.

The group responsible person, at present 109, 306 National Road and Lake Road in the garbage by they are responsible for collecting and processing. Scenic areas within the initially did not refuse box, which is full of garbage. Later, because a lot of passenger complaints, group display the trash in the scenic area, and investment funds to purchase the garbage truck. "However, we are only responsible for collecting and processing area, throw into the trash garbage." As for the scenic area outside the 360 km range, and did not display the trash. The responsible person told the reporter: "like the sword and other scenic spots outside the restaurant garbage is produced by our treatment. These wet food waste sent to landfill is. All about the cost of garbage generated by the group are investment at present." Group two garbage trucks, capable of carrying more than two tons of garbage. "According to the number of visitors every day is different, the transportation amount is 2 to 5 car range."

According to the responsible person said, the 360 kilometers of more than 100 people in the garbage. But in a survey of the process, have never seen anyone pick up garbage in the surrounding. The reporter saw only a unmanned tricycle in the lake, top write "Qinghai Lake garbage collection", but the car only cow dung, and no other living garbage. As for the group responsible person said, "each scenic garbage sanitary landfill will together" situation, the reporter visited the island and other scenic areas after the discovery, it is not true.

In recent years, the increasing number of tourists to Qinghai Lake, conducted two sessions "around Qinghai Lake International Road Cycling Race" have brought significant economic benefits for the Qinghai lake. Hotel, restaurant, entertainment facilities as well as the constant renovation of the small restaurant, guest house more and more, but no one really cares about the environment here. I really do not know, the relevant departments of environmental pollution ignore the attitude and not as if it continues, will in the end where the Qinghai Lake to.

Tibetan volunteers call for save Lake action

The south is the sponsor of Qinghai Lake Ecological Culture and Przewalski's Gazelle public communication base, along with the garbage problem in recent years around the lake and pastoral areas is becoming more and more serious, and began to focus on waste disposal. Childhood living in the South and East Qinghai Lake, have deep feelings for it, also witnessed the change in Qinghai lake.

South and told "life times" reporter, winter wind, the garbage is swept into the river, the depths of the grassland, the growth of grass, ecological and cattle and sheep lake have caused a great influence. Garbage if it is placed on the or scratch the grassland on the water, the water will be gradually weakened, spring finally disappeared, the surrounding vegetation decrease, slowly appear desertification. Some plastic bags or plastic packaging lost in one place for more than 1 years, the soil will turn yellow surrounding vegetation growth, no longer. Big and thick cardboard cover grass, two to three months, the grass will die. Many cattle and sheep grazing in the water or, if eat into plastic garbage, the final result is death. "I have a herdsman side, still have death because swallowed plastic and cow stomach, the stomach has several plastic bags." The South said.

In order to reduce the bad influence on the Qinghai Lake and pastoral garbage, South and other volunteers have action. He often braved the cold, a family and the surrounding farmers picking up trash, even primary school son Sanjay also involved (see Figure 2). To pick up trash, the South had to helplessly in their backyard house burned. He said: "according to our custom, waste incineration, especially meat things, is a kind of disrespect. But the experience of rubbish on the Qinghai Lake, water, grassland and flocks and herds of after effects, I will pick up the garbage. But they can't handle, had to burn." Now, government of South and the best they can hope to solve these garbage problem.

"I hope I never waste pollution of Qinghai lake," south and said, "my biggest wish, is hope the neighbors together to participate in the environmental protection of ecology, don't let any worse." The South spoke, his son Sanjay to sit down on the ground to sing the words created by Song: "the white pollution clean-up operations, better protect environment happy......"
