Green is not environmentally friendly in the end the Japanese

 Japanese in the end there is not environmentally friendly green
Feng Yongfeng
2008   6 Late last month, went to Japan for a few days, time is very short, only in Tokyo and Yamagata Prefecture glance here, a small hole. Knowledge is very shallow, feeling down There are some. some text, simply because to imagine, perhaps, and Japan itself has no relation.
(small items) Why do not the traffic jam
Tokyo Photo Description: Old Japanese universities have a variety of intervention the current situation of publicity.
think about most is: Why not Tokyo traffic jam? Tokyo and surrounding cities, about 4,000 people live in the middle of the house and the house is almost no open space, holding another viaduct viaduct, the city's backbone Road to the much narrower than in Beijing, the curvature of the road more and Shanghai are similar, probably people in Tokyo than in Beijing as a whole, to rich people in Shanghai, the Japanese still want privacy, why do not the traffic jam can be Tokyo?
Later generally understood, there are three reasons, first, the civilian population of the city, an important carrier of the era of democratization, therefore, more and more privileges in the city does not make sense. Second, the underground rail transit (subway, tram want to say) and the ground rail (Shinkansen) is very well developed, almost anywhere in the city, can be very convenient to catch the subway; almost anywhere you want, you can reach the vicinity of the subway; almost all of the Tokyo subway who had a hand circuit diagram, otherwise it is easy to take the wrong car. Third, the city rarely leave room for private cars, including the parking lot small, expensive parking fees, etc.; Therefore, we people have the tendency to sell cars.
then, in turn, think about it, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, these spirit is not universal? is driving private cars be encouraged? are still too many people to the private car as a private space, safe space, comfortable space for the extension?
(small items) products-industrial times require durability and exquisite
China is often sanitation problems as the environmental problems, therefore, a city does not attach importance to environmental protection, it must be unable to solve garbage Second, the waste incineration.
the so-called junk, in fact, a human very expensive, but with the time to be a tear gently to obsolete. Gifts beautifully packaged outside, then do look good, it will not be mistaken for collection of gifts and well-being (of course, occasionally Maidu Chu also the phenomenon of attacks), and these exquisite, over-packaging,UGG boots clearance, enabling the user to open the moment, it has become a social outcast. This is the fate of many items.
some over-abundant material possessions people, even many good things, even the packaging is to not open, it will be abandoned. no matter how good the material, if the significance of the loss of the use, from the beginning, it becomes garbage.
Therefore, the garbage The first layer of meaning, is the full use of the material. a material to be fully utilized, probably to have two, one is durable, and second, multi-functional, or that the combination of art and utility. a thing done durable, long using life expectancy, the lower the likelihood of a waste; a thing if in addition to the practical features to meet human aesthetic features while meeting and often give the art of pleasant surprise, this thing is the possibility of value to large. The Japanese also used a lot of disposable chopsticks, but their outer packaging sets of chopsticks is very beautiful, so that you are having a sudden and devastating feelings of Nature and Cherish; and paper sleeve is in the affirmative reuse, You have just taken out of chopsticks, the boss to the paper cover off the table and gently place into a clean and fresh.
and China on economic development, urbanization, industrialization seemed to kind of mistake, that must be fast food, simplified, crude technology, one-time of, plundered of. China is now really the best period in history, as China hungry for too long, civil rights are suppressed too deep, too much resources plundered citizens miserable, so that when individual rights are relative to the full release capsule began bravely to take property before, it is natural to be hungry, food is not optional things, not choose the source material they simply filled to the stomach, , to plug in his pocket, side of the road, on the ground, will for themselves, their neighbors, have plagued the natural world. Therefore, the durability of Chinese products, refined beauty problem, probably a very important issue of environmental protection era. Japan in this regard, I would like to be able to China has revealed.
(small items) directly affect the eating habits of China's extensive waste separation
is reflected in many aspects, including food, is also universal in extensive areas such as Guangdong, as Good eating shark, snakes and other wildlife, and even cruelty involved. Perhaps, the extensive mode of feeding may be the crux of garbage.
Photo caption: Yamagata organic agriculture is a way to duck rice .
been to spread the Japanese people like garbage in this country has done extremely well, what is divided into a dozen, ah, ah what recovery time point, and what individuals need to pay ah waste disposal, and what waste incineration facilities and residential areas are separated by a wall, ah, what smokers themselves with ashtrays ah, eat, peel back the people their own nuclear ah, in short, some people said to put Japan's environmental well, hesitate to spend a lot of ink and the tongue .
I am always hold considerable suspicion. because I know people are being reckless, and the behavior of logical necessity and people being reckless, impulsive, chaotic conflict with the characteristics of a place. managed again clear, then strict discipline and regulations be obeyed, no matter how the society, there are alcoholics, there are lovelorn, claim whatever the people, in short, people who are willing to abide by in addition to public morality and order in this channel, there is a wild , natural, ready to break the shackles of dogma and the channel. multiple personalities overlap in the human body, in a lot of time is indeed a powerful vision of public order to an individual to depression and well managed, but this does not mean, one will listen and obey like a machine, does not mean good sign of a society is that everyone obey orders, to obey certain habits. It has a fascist, the risk of pan-militarization.
so you can see to the Japanese public space inside the trash can plug anything is, of course, have a classification of street facilities, crowded together plastic and plastic, paper and paper quartet built a stack, the net bag to drink each other hellos, there is no one China, the characteristics of the trash that is clean, or that there is no urine, nose, skin and other leftover food. personally think that perhaps this is the essence of Japan's garbage. because in China, in fact, for those who can separable things, but rather points to solve the matter can not be easy to mix things, the issue object of Chaos.
Chinese people throw garbage on the one hand there is a calm, on the other hand there is also a shame. frankly is think what can be thrown out because the Government arranged in the back, handled properly, is a government thing, you can enjoy accused the government of inaction; shame is generated because of some , leftover watermelon, with a newspaper roll, one fitted with a plastic bag to quickly thrown into the bucket, the outflow of any of their soups; used diapers covered with feces, and broken biscuits, do not want to eat food, mixed together and gently fastened, is readily thrown. consequence of this is to let the garbage man in a very difficult, but also led to the recovery of things can become quite difficult.
This is the middle of difficulty, first, the excessive use of plastic bags the question, the second is crazy, but most of them relatively clean plastic bags, cleaning and after use are divided into the habit of small classes, so give excellent recovery brings the convenience, but the thing to eat I become more agile handling. < br> Photo: City of let them out of nature, some insight began to teach children to grow crops, between man and nature, trying to restore a sense of alienation.
why few Japanese eat garbage, and China Food Waste much? This and a group of brought a sense of crisis atmosphere that was long steeped, refined, perhaps it is easy to become a habit to save. how much how much to eat, If China do refuse, reform must start from the meal, about three outlets, one is the amount of man-eating, and second, Dining System and the third is doing the food exquisite. China is now enough to eat a lot of people have passed the period , we eat a good way to look around, in addition to eating organic food, health food, the food itself is doing the delicate, elegant, artistic, and probably also a viable strategy.
(small items) is Resources imperialism time, many people, probably out of state to do for themselves or capitalist era of high emissions. The defense of the word, of course, quite true, but sometimes, it may not be wholly justified; or, yesterday justified in today's perspective may not be justified. because a new community changes, the old grabbing hold onto the past, and sometimes becomes very shallow.
Japan's forest coverage rate reached 70%, but they are from ten years ago, the state of the dead on the next order, not allowed to cut their own wood. need wood and wood products, a large number are imported from abroad, such as their disposable chopsticks, there is 90% of imports from China, 10% of imports from Southeast Asia. This is the middle, it is naturally related to ; ecological plunder high, almost every cell of every whales to eat exhausted gave the Japanese (the Japanese claim that a high degree of utilization of resources, but also the around the world have left many people blame the handle. As another example, many Japanese people like to say that the Chinese have bought the coal, and then poured into the sea, stored, ready to use later. this area has shown a A shrewd country in crisis, indeed the other hand, shows a country's that this is the product of imperialism, trying a number of products in the high share of the world, to new schemes, other groups to achieve a new world occupation and aggression.
the one hand, Japan is a great number of resources the lack of countries, such as its food self-sufficiency rate of less than 40%, less than 4% of energy self-sufficiency, it is natural, they must use a variety of approaches to the rest of the world to acquire resources. access to resources about the two methods, namely, the use of force seizure, the second is the text force the sale and trading. In the past, Japan accounted for by force of course, want the resources of other countries. Now, that possibility disappeared, the second strategy to become the only strategy.
And this policy of globalization, the light stick, will naturally be to sell their products to world power. all countries, like Japan, there will always face certain lack of resources or lack of resources, therefore, need to Areas of other supplies; Similarly, all countries, like Japan will also have its own resources expertise, therefore, resources for public speaking, it is necessary to use their own resources to supply the deficiency of other countries. damage to more than to fill the gap, it is probably the , to some extent still is human selfishness reflected at the national level.
Japan's phenomenon is caused by too many people instinctively think: is not a country's natural advantage because of its location, careless a wealth of resources such as oil in some countries in Western Asia, but these resources belong to this country really is it? generated when the original earth, do they really mean this, this exclusive resources to this country, so that the other the lack of a country?
think about the natural next is this: Other countries have adopted the form of a relatively fair trade, access to resources of a country the right to use, be considered a kind of resource exploitation? If the operator, in what form can not?
will naturally think about the third question: to boast of thought, good reflection and responsible human beings, in the end rely on the resources of the living, or should be highly developed human beings, such as savings, restrained, intelligent, wise, noble, refined them to live for?
final analysis, the measure of a country depends on its , there is little some of them are also carefully protected for nature conservation, whether mm, human welfare or to national selfishness, in order to remedy this, they tried to rally their comparative advantage as a potential resource, for which Japan obtaining the required funds. In this respect, one only know to enjoy natural resources, exploitation of natural resources, totally dependent on natural resources, a country that only knew reselling resources, violently digging natural resources, through bribery and other corrupt means to escape environmental responsibility of people, probably already behind the companies such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Sony, Panasonic, Canon and other such prices) may also not be too evil; important to have enough health, compelling strengths, which is more than enough valuable things can be supplied to the world; a country lack of natural resources may not matter because each country's most abundant resources are hidden in the body of every human individual, the development of human resources in their own, perhaps another way of environmental protection.
Environmental Protection there are only two choices, one as a small place use of natural resources or exploitation of natural resources as an alternative to value-added; the second is for the use of natural resources, environmental damage resulting from use are great enough to help pay the natural recovery of a country depends on environmental capacity is not available, simply use two indicators to measure, largely on it.
said China is not Japan's problem or not learning in the era of man and nature, or that the era of environmental protection, in a democratic age or type of social ecology inspired age of each individual's positive energy to inspire them, allowing each individual to live in dignity, autonomy, pleasure, cause of environmental protection is probably a prerequisite for the smooth advance or symbiotic conditions.
(small items) Japanese how to observe nature
I took my telescope to Japan, I'll try to see how many species of birds in Japan, especially in cities. At the same time, and I think will be a while Bird lovers in Japan; the telescope, bird watching and bird watchers who are conveniently close together, that he invited us to visit Japan. He is a well-known environmental journalist in Japan, the original Japanese In March, he was 70 years old, retired again; he taught his students had organized a party. Soon after, he was once again Waseda University Rice University and Peking University to build a College of Environmental Sciences, the two sides exchanging scores of students. He has no children, he said he wanted his own house into a Japanese environment, environmental organizations, journalists and civil exchange centers. < br> the original first Emperor of Japan's the last does not support the original automotive industry, Toyota has written many articles criticizing; later Toyota introduced the eco-friendly Prius hybrid car, he bought a car; but he can not drive, to drive the heavy falls on his wife body. Every time I raise my binoculars, his wife would come over for observation, while quickly identify what kind of bird just in front of the lens.
to interview with Japan's Yamagata Prefecture organic agriculture are environmental organizations, one international in charge of the Asian branch of BirdLife, she just took a few of the jointly developed with the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society birding-oriented teaching in primary and secondary students, by the way gave me a set. in the high-cho, Yamagata Prefecture visited the model area of organic agriculture When Ms. Watanabe and one other woman woman gave us a sumptuous dinner and unique, she is also a bird watcher, look at my chest as she hung the telescope, the carrying tray towards me happy laughed for a long time; Because of language barriers, and translation and busy,UGG boots, but I know what she meant, she said it was dark, tomorrow morning and you go, but it does not matter, because the bird-watching this event, our future there will be more opportunities for exchange.
night lived in Yamagata Prefecture, it is Firefly began to everyone in the organization to see fireflies weekend, it would have for the annual event, worried about the situation is not good this year, Firefly, they observed the first day also went to the location of the first visit for a bit; did not see fireflies, so she had some worry. but she's worried about is uncalled for, such as the Firefly will be about and to, because the evening, we in the night sky to see the bits and pieces of fireflies in the wind. eleven p.m., and we still chat room, and suddenly, the wife of former President just rushed in, excited to go outside to take everyone to see fireflies. Every time that they have uttered a marvel.
So I asked the original Gang, Firefly in Japan in the end what it means ? the original Gang said Japan's fireflies into two factions, one of the original clan, the first level family home. The two families is the confrontation between the Japanese forces during the Edo period. The two families have a lot of warriors, and warriors are always fighting each other, and finally one day, fireflies began to change his attitude, that we stop fighting, we began to breed it. Therefore, the fireflies also hinted that the Japanese samurai of the soul. However, intercourse is short, only one day, fighting is frequent, most of the time in the swords and guns in each other, plot calculation. Firefly goes by, quiet tour of the state, but also brings a sense of life and uncertain sense of nothingness, so enjoy the fireflies, in Japan is a very deep-rooted tradition.
gave us translate Dong Zhenhua, professor of the original just a doctoral student in his original study Japanese at the Beijing International Studies University, and later to the work of the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and then later to Japan University of Tokyo, Keio University, Waseda University study. He said that the Japanese like to observe nature is indeed a nation, Japan will have more than one million members of bird-watching; each spring, the Japanese have to see cherry blossoms, we sit cherry trees, cherry and so open, to see cherry blossoms float in the air, such as cherry decline; in May, when the Japanese will go to the riverside to see iris flower, iris flowers have many colors, all chasing to see. many women in Japan special chores at home, but they were not idle, often drove together, went to see what fireflies.
course, Japan still has many problems of environmental protection, especially in civil protection activities, do not necessarily easier than the Chinese and smooth. Also, you walk in Japan, you will find that although Japan's forest protection was good, but the proportion of natural forest in the forest, not too high, while the holdings of natural forests, probably is a measure of a country's level of environmental protection the most accurate signs.
(small items) The environment needs public intellectuals
Yamagata reason we went to an interview with organic agriculture, because a poet.
1973, the high-cho, Yamagata Prefecture, a young Kanji Star poet, felt a terrible problem: the rapid industrialization of Japan swept the agriculture and rural areas, agriculture is the land for industrial mm all the way were in accordance with the industrial business group controlled by several, simultaneous production of a Class of high quality agricultural products; farmers are becoming migrant workers mm they are either locally as sensitive heart that this is a problem, so he started the home 41 young people began to run from the to maintain their health and activity, to protect the village's natural, being reckless, random, harmony, mutual love of semi characteristics of human society.
organic agriculture is difficult, because they do not use pesticides and fertilizers, the productivity of the land itself, the crop predators do to their own resistance to low; fertilizer and agriculture also becomes convenient and easy to agriculture, and for much helpful to reduce heavy labor, and organic agriculture have a chance to get back to heavy manual labor of farmers. And Japan's Agriculture Ministry was not like they test and adhere to, because at that time the government is trying to agricultural industrialization, to produce more agricultural products.
Kanji star status to help the poet to his busy, as he poetry circles, quite well-known in Tokyo, so, in their village production, and found the city's docking consumer households, those people who include environmental groups, but also enlightened people of the cultural sector, it is these consumer households docking They help their busy, so their products can be sold with sufficient profit.
1974, the Japanese, another famous writer, a Gizo and son, wrote a book called Kanji Star home as the prototype, they insist on writing the story of organic agriculture and social experience. This book was a great influence on Japanese society, because this book is the first serialized in the newspaper. newspapers came out, the original Gang such a sensitive environment correspondent, reports began to track the trajectory of development of organic agriculture in Japan, has been tracking, research up to now refused to let go. Although Japan's organic agriculture, has accounted for about 50% of Japanese agriculture.
1974 years Japan has a delegation to visit China, members have a name in the village, is the , the star wide governance also came to visit China, when his identity is capacity one of the first of the Charter, is to emphasize the conservation and protection of traditional culture.
thirty years, organic agriculture can be developed in Japan to its current size, there is another person also plays a very important role. Star wide governance began dead set to do organic farming, so that carrier of culture, let the logic of the agriculture is still a good time when literature, a man looked at the cold side, the man named Ryoichi Kikuchi, is a chemical expert. He looked at the forty-one concern of young people, because he found that organic agriculture to the elderly, women had to dry a lot of hard work may be avoided, but he is a feminist, he believed that women should not be so abused. So he invented a low-toxicity pesticides, only need to play one of these pesticides, and weed removal, enhance disease resistance of crops are good. Therefore, organic agriculture in Japan, there are two types, one is pure, its production out of rice, 60 kg of Sell ¥ 36,000, only played once Ryoichi Kikuchi invented that type of pesticides, 60 kg of rice can be sold at 26,000 yen, rather than organic farming of rice, can sell about 16,000 yen. His invention so many people, it is easy to participate in the organic agriculture into.
China, many intellectuals, seems to lack the spirit of realism, the lack of the spirit of field research, lack of participation in the spirit of the times, the lack of the spirit of the public to solve problems, regardless of in rural or urban, whether temporarily or in the local settlement, always with the times themselves deeply with the community, and events to isolate, for fear that the trend of the water droplets contaminated with the fear involved in any of an era whirlpool, fear of becoming parties to and participants in any event. not related with their participation, and what does not even dare to participate; see the beautiful phenomenon can not participate, see the injustice of the phenomenon did not dare to intervene. In short, Clean living, away from the era, cut off from nature, seems to be our intellectuals do not rid the body of a gene.
sometimes think this is very strange, because the universities are public, the Institute is the public, The library is public, academic publications is a public, social out so much money to support public utilities in order to gather knowledge and wisdom so that some have the right and ability to use these public resources for those who expect nothing more than these people able to The University has a tradition of participation in public events.
Xu Gang, written by well-known environmental writer, showed a strong concern? not the courage to become advocates and leaders of the revolution? the contrary, intellectuals. Few intellectuals willing to speak for the damage to the environment, few intellectuals willing to damage people around, very few are willing to go all the way intellectuals involved in the natural public welfare and social welfare services. that does not participation is also not possible because both the knowledge or the personal moral conscience, it may not pass the test, but in much, too troublesome, and then participate more, are also worried by the implicate, and next to the greenhouse can be so much rest, a hotbed of so soft can sleep, there are so many in speaking soft words can be good enough, there are so many can sip warm water, there are so many gentle town for fantasy, he of the of the two compared Yes, nature is indifferent manner, Geshandaniu, every curtain blind date, nowhere near enough to settle down for the count on the good.
intellectual the need for them to speak out, they do not speak out, or ill, do evil, holding a sign expert, but ignorant of the man of conscience, say should not say, do things hard to evaluate.
