讲座简介:
Garbage is a good that has been used and subsequently been discarded; it is the wrapper in which something came, the box that held the object of desire. The less intrusive its disposal is, the better. Yet waste can be worth its weight in gold. Waste can be reused. This lecture will reflect on the sort of practices regarding recycling and garbage disposal that exist in Beijing at the moment. It will look at the role of the growing number of online-to-offline companies that are becoming active in this field and evaluate their relevance.
垃圾是被使用后丢弃的商品,是各种物品的包装纸,是装过心爱物品的盒子。垃圾处理对人们生活的干扰越小越好。然而有时候垃圾的价值堪比黄金,它可以被重复利用。本讲座将审视当前北京的垃圾回收与垃圾处理的几种实践方式。当前越来越多的线上对线下公司(online-to-offline companies,即O2O)在市场上十分活跃,我们将深入评析其与垃圾处理问题间的关联性。
