清明节，又称踏青节、行清节、三月节、祭祖节等。清明节源自上古时代的祖先信仰与春祭礼俗，兼具自然与人文两大内涵，既是自然节气点，也是传统节日。扫墓祭祖与踏青郊游是清明节的两大礼俗主题，这两大传统礼俗主题在中国自古传承，至今不辍。 

清明节在公历4月5日前后。

清明节是传统的重大春祭节日，扫墓祭祀、缅怀祖先，是中华民族自古以来的优良传统。清明节融汇自然节气与人文风俗为一体，是天时地利人和的合一，充分体现了中华民族先祖们追求“天、地、人”的和谐合一，讲究顺应天时地宜、遵循自然规律的思想。

清明节与春节、端午节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。除了中国，世界上还有一些国家和地区也过清明节，比如越南、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡等。

Recycled Human Hair Is Cleaning Belgian Water
Imagine if the hair caught in your drain could actually help to clean it.

That's what's happening in Belgium, where human hair is being recycled to help clean the country's water.

Around the country, hairdressers are taking the hair they cut from their customers' heads and putting it into bags. These bags of hair are then collected by a non-profit organization that runs a project called "Hair Recycle."

The hair collected by Hair Recycle is put through a machine and made into 60-centimeter-wide square mats. These mats can then be put into a drain to absorb oil and other pollution before it gets into a river or stream.

According to the Hair Recycle website, 1 kilogram of hair can absorb up to 8 liters of oil.

To take part in the project, hair salons have to pay a small fee. They then receive bags to collect the hair, and a sticker for their window, so they can show their customers that they are helping the environment.

Salons in Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also taking part in the Hair Recycle project.

Belgium's Hair Recycle is not the only hair recycling project, however. In the UK and Ireland, a company called Green Salon Collective is recycling hair and other waste from salons, including metal, paper, plastic and chemicals.

And a similar company called Green Circle Salons is recycling hair and other salon waste in the US and Canada.

So maybe hair in the drain can be a good thing?
