　　Currently, news has it that some major cities inChina are setting about pushing “waste sorting”, with the purpose of both reforming the traditionalwaste treatment and improving this fragile environment we live in. What an encouragingchange!

　　Compared with the traditional way of collecting waste, the new method has brought with ita variety of benefits. First and foremost, wastes are sent to different factories according totheir classification rather than landfills, where they would be simply burnt and buried. What’smore, waste classification not only cuts the spending on treating waste, but generates somehandsome interest. Recyclable wastes, such as paper, glass and plastic, can be reused afterbeing processed in related factories, while other wastes can be turned into the valuable. In aword, waste classification is both vital and necessary to environmental protection as well asour life.

　　From my perspective, waste classification should be further promoted as an effectivemeans of environmental protection. As college students, we are supposed to complywithrelevant regulations, sorting wastes before we dispose them. Meanwhile, it would be ratherbeneficial if we could influence as more people around us as possible.
