My Opinion about Garbage-sorting(垃圾分类)

    On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting regulation(法规). Everyone in the city must now sort(将……分类) his or her garbage. This sounds like  great idea.  I wonder — will people actually follow this regulation?

    In fact, most Chinese  (city) already have these recycling options(设置). Outside of my apartment building, there  three bins — kitchen waste, recyclable waste and other waste. Guess how many people actually put (they) garbage into the  right bin? Most people just put the garbage into whatever bin they want.

     Look, I understand. Sorting garbage  (correct) can be hard. For example, not everyone  (know) the difference between "wet" and "harmful" garbage. And it takes time  (sort) it right. How can we deal with this problem?

    Actually, it can be done. In some US cities, every family must sort the garbage.   they don't, they have to pay a fine.

Personally, I don't think it would be hard  me to sort my garbage. I don't sort it now, but maybe I will later.
