I can see waste being flushed down the toilet.
If systems are too onerous they fall out of use, as even those trying to enforce them don't have faith in what they are doing.
Retired people have the time, if not the inclination, but in Shanghai there are a lot of households where both partners work long hours, and don't have the time.
If would be better for pilot systems to run their course, lessons learned and implemented, before trying to roll things out.
You would leave you self open to the risk of being ripped off. It might also be viewed as money laundering, if the transaction is done in the wrong way.
Are you running any pirated software? Sometimes people frig with calendar/clock to get it to run.
Await your flame grilled responses.

Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Spring City looks to embrace sweeping green agenda
Posted byAlmost all homes in southern and eastern china have solar water heating now. But not photovoltaic cells yet.
Many new roads in Kunming have the streetlights with wind and solar charging. however the environmental impact of replacing old serviceable units (that have already left a footprint making them) with new (including their own footprint) is a tough call.
One of the reasons why China is leading in green energy is that there is so much new infrastructure to be put in place. Unlike the US and EU that have a huge legacy system that would be very expensive to phase out and replace.
Mid-Autumn Festival, a celebration of family and harvests
Posted byA western version of a Li Bai poem can be found on the Vangelis Album 'China' and follows.
"I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are always three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart. This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me"

Fearing 'commercialization', monks briefly close Jinning temple
Posted byI think this is excellent action by the abbot. A wonderful example for all.
If you look at what has happened at the Shaolin Temple (Kungfu incorporated), it is shameful for all, IMHO.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
