Corniche Hotel, Abu Dhabi.
At the entrance of the long and grand welcome gate, three luxury black Rolls-Royces were parked beside the door.
Several doormen immediately went up to open the car door for the guests.
When she saw Martin getting out of the car, the beautiful doorman who opened the door was stunned for a moment, and then showed excitement.
That's right, the doormen in this hotel are all women, and they are all the most beautiful women.
"Hello sir, let me help you with your luggage."
A beautiful doorman took the lead, came to Martin, and took the trolley case from his hand.
Several other people suddenly showed envious expressions, that was where Martin's hand had held, damn Tritini, this Bitchi moved so fast!
Martin booked four rooms, one presidential suite and three executive suites.
There are six rooms in the presidential suite, and he lived in the master bedroom"873". Gordon and his Three bodyguards lived in several other rooms.
At this time, Martin stood in front of the window, looking at the lush green below, and smiled:"These countries lying on oil are indeed rich, and they have created an oasis in the desert. , it is said that the cost of planting a tree here is more than 5,000 US dollars, plus the annual maintenance cost of more than 800 million US dollars, it is an astronomical figure!"
"Watt, 800 million per year! Gordon stood behind him,"Isn't this too wasteful?"!"
Gordon couldn't understand.
Martin smiled:"At least these expenses have indeed made this desert more suitable for human survival."
Then the conversation changed,"Do you know where the most wasteful country in the world is?
Gordon said subconsciously:"UAE?"
Martin's smile did not diminish and he said,"No, it's the United States!""
Gordon was stunned, and then nodded in agreement.
In fact, Americans themselves all know that the level of waste in the United States has reached an outrageous level. If you don't believe me, let's take a look at the comparison of 3 sets of data:
1. Germany The per capita annual water consumption is 300 cubic meters, the per capita annual water consumption in China is 440 cubic meters, and the per capita annual water consumption in the United States is 1,500 cubic meters.
2. The per capita annual electricity consumption in China is about 730 kilowatt hours, and the per capita annual electricity consumption in the United States is about 4370 degrees.
3. Americans waste more than 150,000 tons of food every day, and 54.75 million tons of food are wasted throughout the year. This food is enough to feed more than 70 million refugees.
Let’s take a look at how Americans waste it:
Normal people take baths When Americans take a bath, they will turn on the faucet, stand there and wait for the hot water to flow out, and then take a shower immediately. When Americans take a bath, they will turn on the faucet, go out to play a game or watch a movie, and then take a shower after coming back, which takes most of the day. Every now and then, water is wasted.
Americans don’t have the habit of turning off faucets, especially outdoor public faucets. Even if the water keeps flowing, no one bothers to turn it off.
American toilets have a nickname , is called a"water tiger". It takes more than 15 seconds to flush water once, and a large bucket of water can be wasted in one go.
Americans don't like washing vegetables and fruits, but they don't want to eat them directly, so they think of I came up with a simple and effective method, put the fruits and vegetables under the faucet and wash them directly, go out for a walk, and when you come back from the walk, the fruits will be washed.
Harvard is brightly lit at 4 in the morning. When I heard this sentence , you may think that Harvard students work very hard and get up to study at 4 a.m. In fact, no one gets up at 4 a.m. It’s just that Americans don’t have the habit of turning off the lights. Public places are open 24 hours a day regardless of whether there are people or not. Everyone turns on the lights, and they turn around and leave after class. No one bothers to turn off the lights.
In the United States, public places have no power supply 24 hours a day, and the utilization rate of air conditioners reaches more than 90%. Air conditioners are turned on all year round. , and it is fully opened. Even in the hot summer, you must wear a coat when going out, because the air-conditioning temperature in public places is too low. If you don’t put on a coat, you will catch a cold every minute.
Americans never get exposed to the sun. Every household uses a dryer to dry clothes. It takes 2 hours to dry, which consumes a lot of electricity. The electricity consumption of dryers in the United States is 95 billion kilowatt hours. What is this concept? Let’s put it this way, the Three Gorges Dam has just been built At that time, the annual power generation was only 85 billion kilowatt-hours. Later, after upgrading, the annual power generation exceeded 100 billion kilowatt-hours. The houses of ordinary American families are made of wood and have poor thermal insulation effect, so every household has air conditioners. After it is turned on, it is usually left on 24 hours a day. It will not be turned off when you go out. You can enjoy the air conditioning as soon as you come back. Although this feeling is great, it is also a waste..........
The most terrible thing is the waste of things.
The fruits and vegetables on American supermarket shelves are all about the same size and almost the same color. They are all carefully selected. Those that are too big or too small or have inconsistent colors are thrown away. More than 25% of the food in the United States They are thrown away before they even leave the farm because they don’t look good.
There is a rule in American supermarkets and restaurants that if barbecue food is not sold within 2 hours after it is made, it will be thrown directly into the trash can, whether it is roasted chicken or fried chicken, whether it is French fries or bread, time Throw them away as soon as they arrive, as much as you have.
Americans generally go to the supermarket once a week to buy the food they need to eat in the next week. They just buy and never think about how much food they can eat. Therefore, every time they buy, they will far exceed their needs and they will not be able to eat at all. But they didn't care and continued shopping as usual the next week. As for the remaining food from last week, they threw it all into the trash can.
Among the food thrown away by Americans, 40% of vegetables, 20% of fruits, 25% of beef, and 10% of seafood are saved. If all these foods were saved, three Senegalese could be fed.
Many people may think that this is because Americans have such a good life that they are so wasteful.
No, this country’s 1.9 ratio of homeless people to poor people is also a crime of developed countries.
So why don’t national governments allocate those wasted resources to the poor?
Haha, you are thinking too much.
It’s not that the government is unwilling, but that capital is unwilling.
You know, in the United States, relieving the poor is also a"capital" job, and you can make money from it - government grants, tax exemptions, price difference discounts, etc.
Capital will use a small part of the money earned to buy some things, send a few poor people to them, and the rest will be their own. By the way, they can find media reports and gain prestige.
Compared with the United States, is this a waste in the UAE?
No wonder Martin scoffed.
