China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) launched the interview for common good - "Yo Yo Lu Ming - interview experts dedicated into Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation ", which aims to promote the global construction of ecological civilization. Episode 1 with the theme on "plastic pollution control and biodiversity protection" and Episode 2 on “degradable plastics, how to solve the problem?" were successfully held on March 18 and April 8.

Mulch Film Management and Microplastics Pollution in Soil, the latest episode, will broadcast at 14:30 p.m. on May 10.

China is the largest user of mulch film, consuming about 75% of the global use. Mulch film can increase the average yield by about 30%, which has made a great contribution to China's agriculture. However, if not thoroughly cleaned and collected after being discarded, the mulch film will bring plastic pollution to the land and a threat to soil quality and food security. Therefore, how to solve the problem of mulch film pollution is involved in the plastic pollution control plans formulated by Chinese governments at all levels. CBCGDF also concern about the issue on how to better manage the mulch film and minimize the plastic pollution caused by it, and think about what can we learn from foreign experience.
