Before we answer the"how clean"question,there are two actions we can take to get a sense of how clean the planet is.
Clean,is it around the corner?
In the last four months,the China Green Hair Society project team has carried out two trips to Tibet.
once green hair is mid to late may,China will be volunteers stepped on to the west of Tibet,the Tibetan ecological practice condition more difficult xixiabangma mountain peak(the only completely in grade 8000 meters peak)within the territory of China and the mountain mount(by multiple religion as a sacred and has a significant impact on Tibetan culture)the inspection tour,and biodiversity conservation in China with a green development foundation trill account opened a live,will be the first line of the Tibetan amorous feelings onto our eyes.
People like to use the word sacred to describe the scenery associated with Tibet and the Himalayas.But behind the sanctity of some existence,through the optic nerve pulling our heart,pain.(video from 8KRA:the garbage behind the snow mountains|photo story)

This video is from the Crazy Horse team,documenting their experience hiking in the open air in Tibet.Every year,crowds of tourists and trekkers attempt to conquer the mountains,leaving behind piles of rubbish.This garbage,year by year increase,gradually into the scale.
Another event closely related to Tibet took place as recently as September 7,solstice.9.This is a team of more than 20 people from all walks of life from all over the country.They held activities in Nyingchi,Xizang province for three consecutive days,including a 20-kilometer hike at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters on The 8th.The campaign also has a resounding slogan--"Beauty Pact leader,Guardian of the Third Pole of the Earth"and a specific goal--to recycle 400,000 beverage bottles.
400,000 plastic bottles in Nyingchi alone?That's a bit of an exaggeration!But when we saw this group of photos,we became speechless.
Known around the world for its high altitude and natural precipitousness,Tibet has become the"white moon"in many people's minds.However,people do not cherish the white moon worship process,which is turning it into"mosquito blood".Even Tibet is not an exception,so the cleanliness of our entire planet,everyone...Imagine for yourself?(A random picture taken by the volunteers of The Green Society)

How to clear it?
This is a serious problem.Let's take a look back at the history of Clean World Earth Day.
When Ian Keenan,an Australian,circled the world in his solo yacht in 1987,he saw rubbish floating in the sea and knew something had to be done.So he returned to Sydney and started Clean Sydney Harbour Day(1989)with friends.The event enlisted 4,000 volunteers to clean up old cars,white trash,glass bottles,cigarette butts and more.From then on,there was no turning back.From one city to one country,and then to the joint efforts of many countries,the cleaning activity finally became a worldwide environmental protection festival,and China's environmental protection agencies also actively participated in it.
From its earliest beginnings to its formal designation as a holiday,and with the participation of more and more environmental volunteers around the world,the pattern of action for World Clean Earth Day has always been simple--not one party group,not one ideology--but the most tangible.
Where there are people,there is garbage.Since garbage can't be avoided,just work on cleaning it up.
In keeping with the human-based Solutions(HbS),or rather the evolution of Clean World Earth Day,the HbS concept is interpreted.
HbS has two meanings.Ecological and environmental problems,including climate change,are mainly caused by human beings,and can only be solved if human beings themselves start to change.A change in one person can also affect other people,businesses,institutions,governments and other social units to make changes.
HbS also to solve the problem of the earth's ecological environment put forward the train of thought:the public participation is the fundamental solution to solve the problem of ecological environment,all the problems and challenges we face is not an isolated small problems,but about the fate of mankind community,should let the universal participation,action,and not just for global problem of plastic waste problem,now also includes three human survival crisis,loss of biodiversity,climate warming,public health security,the solution of the problem.
