646 Guiyu Town
After some preparation, Sisi went to D City at the end of April, and went with her Zhang Jie and Shi Lei, Shi Lei had already graduated from college, and after graduation, he became a full-time reporter of the green home like Xiao Zhang, after all these years of experience, Shi Lei has already become a capable workplace elite.
In order to be in a hurry, Sisi paid out of his own pocket to take a plane to D City, and Shi Lei smiled and said that it was Sisi's light.
"Teacher He, no wonder Brother Zhang said that he must follow you on a business trip, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all high-end, which is much better than going out at public expense."
Sisi smiled, the funds for the green home are still too small, and many of the expenditures are privately subsidized by her, and the government's subsidy has increased in price last year, from 10,000 to 20,000, and even the salary is not enough.
It seems that she has to find a way to solicit sponsorship, and she can't always post money!
"When I bring in a few big sponsors, you can all fly to a high-end hotel on a business trip in the future." Sisi generously promised.
Zhang Jie poured cold water on her: "Come on, what we do is work that offends people, which company sponsors it?" It's good not to scold us. ”
Sisi was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "This is just a transitional period, and I believe that many people will thank us in the future and rush to send us money." ”
"Dreaming!" Zhang Jie scoffed.
Shi Lei obviously didn't believe it, but he still smiled very shamefully.
The three of them got off the plane in G City, Tian Xinhua sent Xiao Zheng to pick them up, D City is a two-hour drive from T City, Sisi plans to go back to T City first, and then go to D City after a night's rest.
Xiao Zheng and Sisi are also very familiar, and when they saw Sisi, they were full of smiles, "Teacher He, what actions did you take this time?" ”
"I'm going to go to City D." Sisi said simply, Xiao Zheng didn't ask much, this is also his cleverness, the leader's wife didn't mean to talk in detail, of course he had to keep silent.
The house assigned to Tian Xinhua by the government is a three-bedroom suite, which is very warmly furnished by Sisi, and the master bedroom, children's room and a guest room are just enough for Zhang Jie and Shi Lei to live.
Tian Xinhua ended his work early and came back to greet his wife, the thirty-five-year-old Tian Xinhua's appearance has not changed much, his temperament has become more and more calm, and he has become more and more official.
Knowing the purpose of Sisi's trip, Tian Xinhua specially asked the three of them to remember to wear gas masks.
"I've just heard of that place, it seems to be a town called Guiyu Town, where people are engaged in this kind of business, as long as you get to the edge of the town, you can smell the stench, ordinary people can't stand it at all, I want to call you about it." Tian Xinhua said.
"These people are so ignorant, for some petty profits, destroy their own living environment, and even may get sick because of those pollutants, harm others and themselves, why bother?" Shi Lei was really puzzled.
Tian Xinhua sneered: "That's not a small profit, I heard that if those bosses are lucky, they can earn millions a year!" No matter how bad it is, it is not a problem to earn millions a year, driven by such huge profits, how can they care about pollution or not? It's a big deal, if you earn enough money and move to other places, it's better to live. ”
"Lao Ma is right, with a profit of 300% or higher, what else would they not dare to do?" Sisi said faintly.
"It's too selfish, the ancients planted trees for their predecessors and later generations to enjoy the shade, but they were good, they didn't leave a way for future generations to live at all!" Zhang Jie was also very angry.
When they arrived in Guiyu Town, Sisi and the others knew that these people who were blinded by interests did not leave a way for future generations, and now they have no way to live.
Guiyu people have always had a tradition of buying waste products, which is determined by local geographical factors, because Guiyu Town is located in a low-lying area, which is a strict waterlogging area, and crops are basically unexpected.
So the people of Guiyu Town began to walk the village and alleys, harvesting chicken feathers, duck feathers, waste copper and iron, etc., and slowly began to purchase old hardware and electrical appliances, followed by foreign electronic waste, with the huge profits of this business, dismantling electronic waste has become the main livelihood of Guiyu people, and most of the local people are engaged in this business.
Sisi drove to the entrance of the town, and sure enough, as Tian Xinhua said, with the stench wafting from the breeze, Sisi felt a sore throat and dizzy after sucking for a while, so he quickly took out a gas mask and put it on.
"Sisi, I can't stand this station for a while, how can they live in this kind of place all day?"
Zhang Jie also took out the mask and put it on, and admired the strong survival ability of these locals.
"This is the reason why you live in the orchid room for a long time and don't smell its fragrance, and you don't smell its smell in the abalone room for a long time, and you smell it every day, and you will get used to it over time." Sisi said.
"But this is a chronic suicide! I'm sure none of the people who live here live too long. Zhang Jie said affirmatively.
"That's why we have to come here, not only to save these locals, but also to save ourselves, these highly toxic air will not dissipate, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will slowly spread around, who knows when it will spread to our Kyoto!"
After Sisi finished speaking, he pushed the car door and got out of the car to take a few photos, although this is only the entrance to the town, it is obvious that the environment here has been severely damaged, and the trees on the side of the road are all miserable, and a few of them are even dead.
You can imagine how poisonous the air here is!
As the car continued to drive towards the town, there were new buildings and cars everywhere, and it seemed that the people in the town were making a lot of money, but in stark contrast to the black and smelly river on the side of the road.
Under every building, there is a pile of electronic waste, old computers, old TVs, old refrigerators, etc.
And there are also e-waste dismantling workshops everywhere on the roadside, all of which are family-style workshops, which are not large in scale, and there are workers gathered in the workshops.
And Sisi saw that many of the people sorting e-waste at the door of the workshop were teenagers or women, and some women were carrying sleeping babies on their backs, working in these e-wastes without any protective measures.
They bake the integrated circuit boards on the heater vent for nearly two seconds, and after the plastic plates are soft, they skillfully and quickly remove the chips, capacitors, electrode tubes and other electronic components from the circuit board with tweezers, and place them in different ceramic jars, just like the medicine compartment in a Chinese medicine pharmacy.
The stench of burnt plastic came out, and the smell was everywhere in town.
This is only the first step in the disposal of e-waste, and it is also the most primitive step, those dismantled components will be sold to some electronics factories to be refurbished into new parts, according to Sisi later learned, this step is not the most profitable, but relatively speaking, this step does not cause the most serious damage to the environment.
