A waste of face? 94.3% of people are wasting their pain everywhere experts recommend the establishment of the "Anti-Waste Act" to punish and eliminate wasteful behavior in some cities, rising prices have led to a sudden rise in the cost of living, but the waste of life is still everywhere: never hand off the lights, Guan "small waste" to the weddings in the Big swing banquet,  To the luxurious packaging of all kinds of goods ... Recently, China Youth Daily Social Research Center through the public opinion China Network and Sohu News Center, a survey of 2707 people, 94.3% people feel around the waste phenomenon is widespread, 47.5% of the people said "very common."  Among respondents, "70后" accounted for 40%, "the total" accounted for 35.2%. What is the worst waste? 92.6% of the people preferred "public money to eat and drink" Wuhan, a restaurant owner users operating restaurant Although the size is small, but every day will "pour out" thousands of dollars. She gave the journalist a pen account: Restaurant daily reception about 300 people, per capita consumption of about 50 yuan, at least half of the people will not pack the remaining paella, and the average of the remaining paella will account for the personal consumption of 1/5, one day down only the leftover food is worth 1500 yuan, one months 45000 yuan, a year is 540000 yuan.  The restaurant prepared 3 barrels of paella, often filled with less than half a day. A few days ago, a new waiter didn't know the rules. When the guest checked out, she saw that there were no more than a dozen dishes on the table, and she said, ' Do you need to pack '? The host's guests felt that she had no face and scolded her.  Users said, the general relatives and friends to eat packing more and more serious waste situation is a wedding banquet and business dinner. Users's restaurant has received a variety of nominal commemorative meetings, the company's annual meeting, etc., "at the Convention, the restaurant best-selling is high-end white wine, opened a bottle after another bottle." Some of the mineral water, which was distributed by each person before the meeting, was thrown on the ground after drinking only one or two mouths. "Not only is it a serious waste of booze. BEIJING, an advertising company staff Yanghui Frankly, whenever the fashion magazine to see the popular money, she could not help to buy their own new clothes. "The year before last, I bought two pieces of clothing with fur collar." These two years began to popular simple plaid coat, I think Mao collar clothes very soil, the two pieces this winter did not touch. Yanghui said she had hundreds of dresses in her closet, many of them only one or two times. But she thought, "if it's a waste, it's my own business." How much manpower, material and financial resources do you have to spend on TV auditions every year? "What are the serious waste in our society?" In the survey, the top three members of the public were the first to eat and drink (92.6%), bus abuse (83.1%) and Urban Roads (76.2%).  Next there are: exquisite packaging products (63.6%), water resources (59.3%), food (47.3%), Energy (46.8%), Brand Clothing (44.5%) and so on. Save the founder of the network, JilinLi Xiaoqun, a researcher at the Economic Institute of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the Chinese youth Daily that the current waste in all areas of society is staggering, "from the extravagance of ordinary people waste, to some local government formalism waste and decision-type waste, has seriously affected the sustainable development of social economy." Li Xiaoqun said that many of the city's building life is only 30 years, is a great decision-type waste. Now in more than 600 cities nationwide, 183 cities have proposed to build "international Metropolis", "and do not know how many houses to be demolished, how many resources to be wasted." "" When evaluating a person, if he wastes much, he is likely to be indifferent and take it calmly. Even some people advertise that the waste can make oneself appear to have the style, generous, not petty etc., ashamed, be proud of. This is a problem that our society must be vigilant about.  "Li Xiaoqun said. 85.3% of people opposed to waste not long ago, Hefei a state-owned enterprise staff Cheng attended the cousin's wedding. After the wedding, her grandmother found that most of the chicken soup on the table had barely moved, and began to pack. Unexpectedly, cousin tried hard to prevent Grandma packaging, "he said," in front of so many people, not let us do grandchildren of the face? It makes us feel bad about you. Cheng said that although Grandma finally gave up packing, but this matter has been very tangled with her: "Why is saving now become a disgrace?" "In the survey, 69.3% of the people think, now wasted into a" face consumption.  For the current wasteful phenomenon of widespread reasons, 79.4% of people think that stems from the "conspicuous consumption of the wind," 59.6% of people think that the reason is "the moral criticism of waste is too weak", 37.1% of people think "too frugal will not face." Chi, a researcher at Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences, has said that wasteful phenomena are generally related to Chinese cultural traditions. "China is a state of etiquette and a human society." Heavy etiquette can easily lead to formalization, and heavy human means more attention to other people's views. This is the Chinese thing at present, first of all to consider the "face" the root cause of the problem. Sun Feng, a professor of sociology at Tsinghua University, believes that the phenomenon of "face" is not unique in Chinese culture, and that "the Japanese face is very strong, and they will show their taste and class by wasting on clothes." "The emergence of conspicuous consumption stems from the competitive instincts of mankind." Professor Sun Feng said that in modern society, people in order to demonstrate their competitiveness and advantages, often through the display of wealth to achieve, it will be wasteful.  In her view, we should draw on the new consumption concept that the European and American countries have been popular in recent years--consumption is for themselves, not for others to see. "Now ' face consumption ' is widespread, with the fashion media and merchants have a great relationship." "Sun Feng pointed out," Nowadays, a lot of fashion media and merchants constantly to young people marketing fashion, raising people's basic living costs, triggering a comparison consumption. This should arouse the concern of the Government and scholars. We can't let people's consumptionView completely by the market. In recent years, Li Xiaoqun has been calling on the state to set up the "anti-waste law", punish and eliminate wasteful behavior, and build a conservation-minded society. "In the 50 's, our country carried out a massive ' three evils movement ', that is, anti-corruption, anti-waste, anti-bureaucracy. Now the government should also make it an important move to counter waste. At present, in the daily life of many Western developed countries, the concept of economy is deeply rooted. "In many restaurants in Germany, if customers order too much, the waiter will simply refuse the guest to order," Li Xiaoqun said. In our country, many restaurants only make money, I hope customers eat more food. "Therefore, we need to establish norms to eliminate the widespread waste in society." The practice of Shaanxi province is worth popularizing. "Last July, the general office of Shaanxi Provincial government issued the" on further strengthening the implementation of food-saving against waste work, "clearly put forward to save food, against waste eight measures.  It is proposed that the catering enterprises to be based on the number of diners, to provide "half, half price," both food and save money for dining, to display a hint in the restaurant or posters to remind diners to save attention. Prof Sun Feng, however, is concerned that the "anti-waste law" is not feasible. "Wasting your country's money is definitely a crime, but how is it illegal to waste your money?" For example, many people now have luxury goods as a prerequisite, how do you tell these people to buy luxury goods is not only wasteful but also illegal? "In this survey, 73.6% of the people admitted that they have wasted behavior in their daily lives." 85.3% of people say "no" to waste, and 6.5% think it is "personal rights and understandable."
