Since the 1960s, with the rapid development of economy, environmental pollution in Korea has intensified. Since the 1980s, people's demands for environmental protection have been increasing. Bid for 1988 Seoul Olympic Games has become an opportunity to improve the environment. For the purpose of connecting with the international community, the Korean government promulgated and began to implement a series of strict environmental laws and regulations, and joined forces from all walks of life to start a vigorous environmental revolution.
In fact, abolishing the use of disposable tableware is one of the contents of Korean waste disposal regulations. South Korea's waste disposal laws and regulations follow the principle of "reduction". How to reduce unnecessary waste is one of the contents from the production link. In Korean restaurants, the chopsticks they use are not wooden, but reusable steel chopsticks. On the street, we can also see many shops that buy old furniture and clothes. Smart shopkeepers can make bicycle tires into beautiful and durable hangers.
South Korea has promulgated a series of laws and policies to reduce air pollution, especially automobile exhaust emissions. Encouraging the development of clean fuel vehicles and electric vehicles is one of the measures. It is estimated that 20,000 buses will be upgraded between 2000 and 2007. In order to slow down the traffic, the Korean government has opened a green passage for private cars with more than three people, and the green passage is free. The Korean government monitors air quality for 24 hours and informs the public. When some pollutants in the air exceed the standard, the government will advise people to reduce outdoor activities and travel.
In the center of Seoul, a big screen sign tells people about the air quality of the city and makes people care about the living environment around us. In case of environmental damage, they called 128 to complain.
