garbage-sorting regulations.It's now required that people should sort garbage into four categories,namelyrecyclable,harmful,dry and wet waste.However,if people fail to sort their garbage properly,they can befined up to 200 yuan.More cities are introducing similar regulations,following the practice in Shanghai.Bythe end of 2020,garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities,including Beijing andShenzhen,reported People's Daily.According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy,under the Ministry ofEcology and Environment,over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for theprotection of the environment.However,garbage sorting is still a big problem in China.Only 30 percent ofparticipants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash,the study noted.According to Kinhua News Agency.it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste.In the past,some previous garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage."It'sa must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting."Liu Jianguo,a professor from TsinghuaUniversity,told China Daily.Liu Xinyu,a researcher of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences,toldChina Daily that the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action intocompulsory action for everyone.Aside from China,many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations.In Japan,waste sorting has become a basic survival skill,reported Xinhua.There is a fized time for disposal of eachkind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time.In Germany too,people are asked tosort waste into specific categories,reported HuffPost.For
