FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
F- On the afternoon of August 16, we came to the TEDA green technology exhibition hall.
- Mrs. Zhao explained the way of TEDA’s green development to us.
- Also, she introduced recent years’ policies on green development of Tianjin Development Zone.
- Introduction to the low-carbon technology used in this whole building.
- Mrs. Zhao broadcasted TEDA EcoCenter’s propaganda film for us.
- And presented the whole plastic disposal process.
- On finishing our visit to the green technology exhibition hall, we went to the tearoom, looked through their brochure and asked Mrs. Zhao questions about plastic disposal and if there would be any chance that our experimental results could be put into application. She centered on low-carbon idea to make explanation to us, enabling us to have an in-depth knowledge on low-carbon economy. Sometimes we had serious discussion and sometimes we had cheerfully chats.
- After a rest, we came to the meeting room to present our competition contents and achievements of iGEM in previous years.
- Finally, we wrote‘iGEM Tianjin’and‘TEDA’on the Doodle maker and signed our names there. We sincerely hope to continue our cooperation in the future and establish friendly contacts and relationship.
" Classified dustbins can be seen everywhere in the Low-carbon Building. "
" A chair with printed environmental protection tips, which said‘Please replace plastic bags with cloth bags; It can only reduce 0.04g coal equivalent, that is to say, reduce 0.1g carbon dioxide emission trying to cut down one single plastic bag production. ’ "
Survey
of
the Uses of Plastic
" Plastic is one of the most widely used material in daily life for its low cost, low density, low electrical conductivity and easiness of processing. Since the first kind of plastic was found in 1907, we have lived with plastic for over a century. However, the white pollution caused by discarded plastic has raised more and more concern. Though governments in many places have passed law to restrict the use of plastic, the best solution toward this problem is to find out a easy, cheap and environmental friendly way to degrade the discarded plastic. Among the existing degrading way, the biodegradation of plastic is regarded as the most promising one. This questionnaire aims to investigate the daily use of plastic products and the attitude of people toward the biodegradation of plastic. "
Summary for Our Questionnaire of the Uses of Plastic
Basic information of the people being investigated: Totally 686 people filled this questionnaire from 9:00, July 22nd to 0:00, July 25th, of which 62.2% are female and 37.8% are male.
