Beijing will carry on a new strict rubbish sorting rule starting in May in 2020.
The new rule specifies that people who produce household waste should be responsible for getting rubbish to kitchen waste, recyclables, hazardous waste and other waste.
People in Beijing that fail to sort their rubbish will be fined 200 yuan ($28.3), according to the newly made rule on home waste management.
Some large pieces of rubbish, such as old furniture or household tools, should be delivered to specific places, the rule said.
For the express delivery and e-commerce industry, the rule also called for companies to issue more electronic bills and use more recyclable boxes.
Beijing has carried out pilot (试点) rubbish sorting projects since early 1998, when the Dachengxiang community in Xicheng district became the first neighborhood to sort rubbish. At the end of 2011, the city published China's first home waste management rule, which took effect on March 1, 2012.
Last month, the capital's city management authorities said the city will push forward its waste sorting laws soon, without giving a specific date.
According to local authorities, Beijing produces nearly 26,000 metric tons of home waste every day, and 29 rubbish disposal facilities are already operating at full capacity.
In 2018, the capital collected 9.3 million tons of household waste.
Four Habits of the Wisest People
Intelligence may be something one was born with, but wisdom can most certainly be learned. Here's how to wise up at any age.
Studies show that people who stay connected to others have higher levels of wisdom than those who are more alone. Make an effort to join a new club, connect with friends on Face-book, or invite an old friend or a new co-worker for coffee. Next time you're at a party or gathering, choose someone who's standing alone and make a conversation.
A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life can take unexpected turns. Recognizing your mistakes can only lead to greater wisdom.
They read the news. You cannot make balanced choices unless you understand world surroundings and the experiences of others. If you haven't read a daily paper or news online yet, start by going through a single front-page article from a major respected news source, such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Washington Post, from start to finish, every day.Finally, try to get through the main articles of a full newspaper every day.
They get their self-knowledge. You've learned a lot just by being alive, but have you taken time to review all that you've learned? Try this exercise: write down your three biggest failures and three greatest successes. For each, review the events that led up to it and what lessons you took away from experience.
A. They practice being open- minded.
B. They work at being social.
C. They've learned how to say, "I could be wrong."
D. While current events are important, both fiction and nonfiction books can allow you to explore new ideas and points of view.
E. This is not time for regret or pride; the goal is to look at each experience, good or bad, as more fuel to enrich your wisdom.
F. Don't just scan or skip over it; read every word.
G. People generally love to talk about themselves; you, on the other hand, have a harder job: to listen closely.
When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I can't1what it was about, but I have never forgotten the2I learned that day.
I was3that I was right and he was wrong but he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our4decided to teach us a very important lesson and5a good idea. She6both of us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on7. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could8see that it was black. She asked the boy what9the object was. "White," he answered in a10voice. I couldn't believe he said the object was white,11it was obviously black! Another12started between my classmate and me, this13about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed14, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I15answer, "White." It was then16I realized I was wrong. In fact, it was an object with two17colored sides, and from his side it was white,18from my side was the color black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must19yourself in the other person's shoes and look at the20 through their eyes in order to truly understand their view.

Dear David,
How time flies! It's been an entirely week since you left our school. You can't imagine what I miss the time we spent together!
