Recycling for a Better Future (共同努力, 回收利用, 保护环境, 共创未来)
维州多元文化社区的回收利用：共同学习，共创未来 作者：Harpreet Singh Kandra 博士 维州有一个地方很了不起，就是其多元文化与观念交织，形成充满活力的社会。我们因此得以分享多样化的思维和做事方式，互相学习，造福后代。 作为可持续发展的热心倡导者，我尤其关心维州民众如何携手更好地保护我们的环境，共创健康繁荣的社区。 维州可持续发展部（Sustainability Victoria）正在开展“细小举动，意义重大”的宣传活动，我作为活动大使，有幸于近期与来自华人、越南和黎巴嫩社区有威望和影响力的领袖交谈，探讨我们如何共同采用更可持续的废弃物管理办法，尤其在回收利用方面。谈到维州现行回收利用系统，我们对于维州多元文化社群关于认知差距的反馈作出了反思。 在交谈中，我们得到了启发——虽然我们来自不同的文化背景，往往各有不同的废弃物管理系统，但在如何管理废弃物和扩大回收利用方面，我们可以找到共同点并相互学习。 克服文化隔阂，取长补短 不难理解，由于我们过往不同的经历，我们对待维州的减废与回收利用工作也会有所不同。部分移民以前可能有家政人员帮忙处理家中的回收利用工作。而对那些离乡别井逃避动乱的人而言，根深蒂固的“生存观念”可能影响他们对回收利用和未来的理解。适应新家园会令人心力交瘁——要安排和了解的事情非常多，因此个性化的支持以及在制度和社会责任方面的指导非常重要。 “试想移民来澳大利亚后第一次看见四个不同颜色的箱子——如果没人告诉您，您不会知道哪个用来装什么，”阿拉伯社区领袖Michael Kheirallah表示。 然而，也正是这个学习的过程，通过不同群体之间持续的对话和鼓励，让我们互取所长，汲取经验。 越南社区宣导师Tammy Nguyen表示：“说到越南社区的习惯，其实他们的日常生活方式都很有益于环境，即便环保并非他们的主要出发点。” “无论是为了摆脱贫困还是作为难民来到维州，节俭都是必需的。这些习惯传承了下来——从用外卖餐盒存放物品，到用菜头叶碎作花园肥料，人们会下意识地重复利用物料。” 在我看来，虽然部分民众对维州回收利用系统的认识度不高，但却有很好的意识基础。 善用良好意识，带动积极变化 对于新的回收利用与废弃物管理方法，维州多元文化社群展现出强烈的学习意愿和适应能力，这正是我们希望看到的。维州可持续发展部（Sustainability Victoria）最近一次调查显示，平均来说，维州多元文化社群非常赞同“正确分类废弃物是善举，”而且“正确丢弃废弃物，人人有责。” 华人社区领袖Diana Lin认为积极的信息传递能驱动人们的行为改变，这一观点也支持了上述调查结果。 “民众愿意遵从指示，我们只需清楚、简明地向他们传达指示，有需要时用他们的母语进行传达，”Diana表示。 要把良好的意识转换成积极的变化，需从细微的调整做起。我们可以通过维州可持续发展部（Sustainability Victoria）的“细小举动，意义重大 ”宣传活动等宣导计划提出对策，通过多种语言分享实用易懂的信息。 然而对于有价值的信息，我们要付诸行动才能有实效。 “我想，对许多人来说，有时为了图方便，而不计长远利益。”可持续发展这一选项往往让人觉得更耗时，”Tammy说。…
