　　The Importance of Waste Sorting
　　Currently, news has it that some major cities in China are setting about pushing “waste sorting”, with the purpose of both reforming the traditional waste treatment and improving this fragile environment we live in. What an encouraging change!
　　Compared with the traditional way of collecting waste, the new method has brought with it a variety of benefits. First and foremost, wastes are sent to different factories according to their classification rather than landfills, where they would be simply burnt and buried. What’s more, waste classification not only cuts the spending on treating waste, but generates some handsome interest. Recyclable wastes, such as paper, glass and plastic, can be reused after being processed in related factories, while other wastes can be turned into the valuable. In a word, waste classification is both vital and necessary to environmental protection as well as our life.
　　From my perspective, waste classification should be further promoted as an effective means of environmental protection. As college students, we are supposed to comply withrelevant regulations, sorting wastes before we dispose them. Meanwhile, it would be rather beneficial if we could influence as more people around us as possible.
