隨著人民生活水平和消費水平的提高，中國的垃圾問題日益嚴峻。很多城市被垃圾包圍。面對日益增長的垃圾產(chǎn)量和環(huán)境狀況的惡化，中國政府正在努力推行垃極分類(garbageclassification)的政策。垃圾分類是指將垃圾分為可回收利用和不可回收利用兩類，要求人們將垃圾投放至不同的垃圾桶(trash can)，通過不同的清理、運輸和回收方式，使之變成新的資源。它可以減少垃圾處理量，降低處理成本，減少土地資源的消耗，對社會、經(jīng)濟、生態(tài)三方面都有益。

　　With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase in consumption level, the garbage problem in China becomes increasingly urgent. Many cities are surrounded by garbage. Confronted with the growing garbage output and deteriorating environment, the Chinese government is implementing the policy of garbage classification with great effort. Garbage classification means dividing garbage into recyclable and unrecyclable, and requires people to put garbage into different trash cans so that it can become new resources through different ways of cleaning, transporting and recycling. It can reduce not only the amount of garbage that needs to be disposed of, but also the deposing cost and the usage of the land, benefiting our society, economy, and environment.
