When it comes to sanitation workers, many people will say that they are the beauticians of the city. Indeed, we dare not imagine what a city would look like without the hard work of sanitation workers. However, there is one country in the world that has no sanitation workers, and that country is Norway.
the
Norway is the northernmost part of the earth, located in the west of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and one-third of its land area is within the Arctic Circle. When it comes to the North Pole, the scene of alpine glaciers and snow-capped scenes will appear in everyone's mind. In fact, it is true. Therefore, the winter in Norway is particularly long and cold. Much common vegetation cannot grow here, but there is one kind of plant that is an exception. The plant is spruce. Spruce is an evergreen tree that is resistant to cold and dryness. Its trunk is straight and tall, and its shape is like a spire. Norway’s unique climate environment has become fertile soil for spruce growth. Therefore, large areas of spruce are planted on both sides of the streets or in the fields and mountains in Norway. fir. We know that when the weather turns cold, the leaves will fall naturally, and there will be a scene of "leaves sweeping away the autumn", but the streets and fields in Norway are not spruces, buildings, farms, forests, so it is very There are fewer fallen leaves, and naturally there is no need for people to clean.

Having said that, some people want to ask, if there is no naturally occurring garbage, what about human beings? After all, the garbage produced by humans in a city every day is also amazing. In fact, this question is also very easy to explain. As we said before, Norway has a long winter, and the roads are covered with snow most of the year, so the city is particularly fresh and clean. Some people may also say that the snow should be cleaned by someone! Of course, the snow on the road needs to be cleared, but the Norwegian way of clearing snow is also very special. They don't use people to sweep it, but use large snowplows. If there is ice on the road, there will be a stone sprinkler to sprinkle small stones to prevent people from slipping and falling when walking. When the ice and snow melt next year, the government will arrange special stone removal vehicles to clean it up. Of course, snowplows, stone scatterers, and stone removers all need people to operate in the car. If you have to say that there are sanitation workers in Norway, then those who operate tool carts are the ones. But these "sanitation workers" are fundamentally different from the sanitation workers in our impression who carry big brooms and dustpans to clean in the scorching sun and severe cold. They don't have to get up early and stay late, and they don't have to worry about not getting fair treatment for their efforts. In Norway, everyone has strict working hours, and once the time is exceeded, overtime pay must be paid. If there is an emergency and overtime is required, additional benefits will have to be paid.

There are no fallen leaves, and there is a way to clean up the snow, so what if someone unconsciously throws away the discarded garbage? Although everyone knows that littering is immoral, there are always exceptions to everything, not to mention our country, Norway also has such a situation, but it is much less. Here I want to talk about a phenomenon. I don’t know if everyone pays attention to it, but when we are in a clean place, there will always be a kind of self-restraint behavior invisible, because no one can bear to destroy the beautiful picture. We have no scruples about those dirty and messy places. Anyway, they are already like this, and we don't care about one more. And Norway is a place that can be kept clean all year round, so people have a sense of self-awareness, gradually forming a virtuous circle. So even if there are sanitation workers in Norway, they are not scattered in the streets and alleys as we see everywhere in China, busy and hard.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Norway doesn't have sanitation workers, and the country's management and the quality of people are all good. After all, the environment and national conditions are different, and people with good quality can be found everywhere. Stones from other hills can learn. Good things should be shared and learned from. At the same time, fully respect those who welcome the morning before others, and those who work hard for society, others, and themselves. In terms of environmental protection, "Start from me" is not just a slogan. I hope that more people can really start from me, set an example, and give society and themselves a better living environment.
