About the problem of cherishing resources and protecting the environment ~ better!

"Building a conservation-oriented society" is our slogan to cherish and save resources. However, how can we really save resources? Why should we strongly recommend saving? Please listen to my heart below!

Let's start with water resources. China's total water resources is about 2.8 trillion cubic meters, ranking sixth in the world, and its per capita water consumption exceeds 265.438 million cubic meters, accounting for only a quarter of the world's per capita level. It is a country short of water, and more than 400 cities in China are short of water. In particular, the water shortage in the western region is very serious, and it is very difficult for people and animals in some mountainous areas to drink water.

Water use in China is facing a serious problem, so we should cherish water resources and save water. For example, tighten the faucet after running out of water to avoid the waste of "one river of clear water flows eastward". If the faucet is found to be broken, it should be repaired in time to avoid losing a lot of water. Don't underestimate the discarded batteries, because a button cell will pollute 600 tons of water. If you throw it into the water, the water can't be drunk. We should collect the batteries and send them to the recycling station, which can not only avoid polluting the water source, but also recycle the batteries, killing two birds with one stone. You can't just talk, you must act!

Save not only water, but also forest resources. The total forest resources in China are insufficient, and the forest coverage rate is only 18.25438+0%, which is equivalent to the world average forest coverage rate of 6 1.52%. China's per capita forest area and per capita forest stock are less than one quarter and one sixth of the world average respectively. The forest quality is not high, and the average volume per hectare is only 84.73 cubic meters, which is equivalent to 84.86% of the world average.

This is a warning from forest resources! We should use forest resources sparingly. First of all, we should not throw manuscript paper around, nor fold small handicrafts such as airplanes with unwritten paper, let alone cut down and trample flowers and trees at will. We should plant trees and care for them. Don't use disposable goods, such as paper cups and wooden blocks. At school, we should set up a "green bank" to collect discarded scraps of paper and handkerchiefs. When eating out, please bring your own spoons and chopsticks. Students, let's act together to save and use our limited forest resources.

Electricity is indispensable everywhere. Electricity has brought us various conveniences, but we should save electricity, because electricity is almost generated by burning standard coal, and the coal stored in China is only enough for mining 100 years! Think about it, 100 years later, what will our descendants do? Therefore, we should save electricity. First of all, starting from myself, I remember that "people turn on the lights and people turn off the lights". In midsummer, when turning on the air conditioner, don't adjust the temperature too low, just adjust it properly. Usually lighting, use energy-saving lamps as much as possible, because ordinary light bulbs convert a lot of electric energy into heat, only a small part into light, and energy-saving lamps almost convert electric energy into light.

"Cherish resources and advocate economy" is the duty of every citizen. For our better tomorrow, please act quickly!

"Looking forward to, looking forward to, the east wind is coming, and the pace of spring is near ..."

Mother Earth has brought us one beautiful spring after another. On April 22nd, when the 37th "Earth Day" came to us with the footsteps of spring, we couldn't help thinking about how we should treat Mother Earth well and how to cherish the spring scenery in Wan Li given to us by Mother Earth.

Be kind to the earth-cherish resources and sustainable development are the themes of this spring.

However, the current situation of protection, utilization and sustainable utilization of land resources and mineral resources in China is not optimistic. We have to ask: is the spring of the earth forever?

Although we implement the strictest land management system in the world, in some places, the phenomenon of indiscriminate occupation and use of agricultural land and basic farmland still occurs from time to time; Our cities, large and small, this "pie" paved with reinforced concrete, are still tirelessly expanding in all directions, devouring the surrounding cultivated land. ...

Although the supply of mineral resources has become the bottleneck of rapid economic development, in some places, unlicensed small mines marked by waste and destruction of resources are still being exploited and dug indiscriminately; Even in large mines, the extensive mining method of "eating half and throwing half" continues; The littering of tailings not only wastes the mineral resources that can be used originally, but also may form debris flow in rainy season, which becomes the killer of destroying fields, crops and people's lives and property. Ground subsidence and ground fissures in mined-out areas not only make farmers lose the land resources on which they depend, but also threaten their life safety. China is the country with the most serious water shortage in the world, but the production and domestic water is still squandered at will, and the precious groundwater is overexploited or polluted; Our energy is already in short supply, but new houses that have mushroomed are still wasting oil and coal resources for large-scale heating. ...

Today, the supply and demand of land and mineral resources are in full swing, so we must change the current situation of extensive utilization, low efficiency and serious waste of land resources. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the economical and intensive utilization of land and resources, which requires us to accurately grasp the stage characteristics of China's development with a high sense of historical responsibility, a strong sense of urgency of the times and a broad world vision, base on scientific development, pay attention to independent innovation, accelerate the transformation of economic growth mode, take resource conservation as a basic national policy, develop circular economy, protect the ecological environment, accelerate the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, and promote the coordination of economic development with population, resources and environment.

In order to build a conservation-oriented society, during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the state has formulated several binding hard targets that must be achieved: the number of cultivated land will remain at 65.438+0.2 billion hectares, the energy consumption per unit GDP will be reduced by about 20%, the water consumption per unit industrial added value will be reduced by 30%, the effective utilization coefficient of agricultural irrigation water will be increased to 0.5, and the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste will be increased to 60% (expected). Now, governments and enterprises at all levels are working hard to achieve these goals, and every citizen should work hard to achieve these goals. Resource shortage and energy crisis are around us, and "power shortage", "oil shortage", "coal shortage" and "water shortage" are always bothering us. Cherish you, me and his resources. Only with the concerted efforts of the whole society, Qi Xin can get rid of the rapidly developing resource dilemma and move towards a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

It is everyone's responsibility to cherish, protect and save resources. Let's start from now on, from me, from scratch, cherish all the natural resources that Mother Earth has given us, and let our home be bright in spring every year. ...

Yunnan rectifies the development of mineral resources and initially curbs the spread of "Six Disorders"

A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Land and Resources that the work of rectifying and standardizing the order of mineral resources development initiated in the whole province in September last year has achieved practical results, initially curbing the spread of indiscriminate occupation, mining, selling, approving, mining and managing.

According to reports, through the comprehensive investigation and handling of illegal mining activities, the province has cleared 2,240 illegal mining activities without a license, and illegal mining activities 1 10, ordered 588 enterprises to stop production for rectification, banned 2,545 illegal mining sites, recovered mineral resources compensation fees1/8000 yuan, and imposed a fine of 2700 yuan. Eighty-nine mining licenses were cancelled and revoked, and administrative punishment was given to 166 1 person, and 67 people were investigated for criminal responsibility, which severely cracked down on illegal mining activities such as indiscriminate mining, environmental damage and unlicensed mining. Through comprehensive verification of licenses, the province has now established 2824 effective exploration rights, with a total registered area of 65,000 square kilometers, accounting for 16.5% of the province's land area. By organizing joint law enforcement, the state, city and county governments conducted a preliminary investigation on the behaviors of favoritism, dereliction of duty and public officials' participation or disguised participation in mineral resources development and management. Up to now, * * * has found out that 4 1 person is suspected of participating in mining and participating in dividends. In view of the phenomenon of "virtual fever" in mineral exploration last year, relevant parties organized forces to conduct centralized screening treatment according to "six prohibitions" and "ten prohibitions", and nearly 1,000 certificates have been processed so far.

WWF: China's resource consumption has doubled in 40 years.

On the morning of April 6th, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WFF) released the report on the ecological footprint and natural wealth of the Asia-Pacific region in 2005. The report shows that the people in the Asia-Pacific region consume resources almost twice as fast as the recovery of natural resources in the region. From 196 1 to 200 1, the per capita ecological footprint of China almost doubled. This means that the resources consumed by China have doubled in 40 years. The publisher of the report said that despite this, China's national ecological footprint is relatively stable.

Why should we save money today?

I don't know when it started. We are used to the bright lights in the office in broad daylight, the air conditioner in the living room, the running water when washing dishes, the waste paper next to the copier ... and the extravagance behind all these conveniences and comforts.

Therefore, when the State Council proposed to carry out resource conservation activities nationwide from 2004 to 2006, some people felt "unaccustomed" when the long-lost word "conservation" kept repeating in our ears.

Some people say that savings are the product of the era of natural economy with low productivity. Under the condition of material-rich market economy, is it inappropriate to talk about saving again? Some people say that consumption is a tractor for production and an indispensable wheel for modern trains. Is it out of date to advocate the transition to a conservation-oriented society?

Today, why should we save?

Uncontrolled waste of resources shakes the foundation of survival.

Economy and waste are relative. Today we talk about saving again, because the waste around us is shaking the foundation on which we live.

We are one of the countries with the most serious water shortage in the world, and the average water resource per capita is less than 1/4600. More than 400 cities are short of water, but do we cherish water?

Agriculture is a big water user and a huge waste of water resources. In China, the agricultural irrigation method of "soil canal water conveyance and flood irrigation" is still widely used, and half of the irrigation water leaks during the water conveyance process, with the utilization rate of only about 40%, less than half of that of developed countries.

Due to the backward technology of existing water facilities, the current water consumption per 10,000 yuan of industrial output value in China is 103 cubic meters, 8 cubic meters in the United States and only 6 cubic meters in Japan. Our industrial water reuse rate is only about 55%, while the average level in developed countries is 75%-85%.

People are equally unscrupulous when they waste water resources in their lives. Experiments show that if the faucet leaks a drop of water every second, it will lose 360 tons of water a year. However, the leakage of water distribution network and water appliances in most cities in China is as high as more than 20%, and the leakage of water tanks in urban toilets alone will cost hundreds of millions of cubic meters every year. China wastes more than 654.38 billion cubic meters of water every year. The water consumption for car washing in Beijing in just one year is equivalent to the water storage capacity of one Duokunming Lake or six Beihai Seas.

Our per capita arable land area is less than 2/5 of the world average, and we need less than110 of the world arable land to feed 1/4 of the world population. However, the "enclosure movement" of various names has drastically reduced our cultivated land. Only small solid clay bricks can destroy 80,000-65,438+10,000 mu of fertile land in a year, and brick factories alone occupy 4 million mu of land.

In the extensive use and unprovoked waste, energy has also entered the era of shortage. The per capita reserves of important mineral resources such as oil, natural gas, copper and aluminum are the lowest, accounting for only 1/25 of the world average. At present, China consumes nearly 40% more energy and mineral resources per 10,000 yuan of industrial output than developed countries. Apart from the backward technology, man-made waste is a big loophole.

Neither the Asian financial crisis nor the sudden SARS disaster has stopped the rapid development of China's economy. However, since the energy shortage and the overall increase in raw material prices that swept across the country last year, people have increasingly felt that China's economy is being constrained by resources. For a big developing country like us, the shortage of important resources is bound to be controlled by people. At the critical moment, resources may not be bought with money.

The imminent resource crisis has sounded the natural alarm.

Riding on the high-speed economic train, facing the increasingly rich material life, we often feel a sense of satisfaction: the days of lack of money have passed and life is getting richer and richer.

But when we know that today's rich life depends on the excessive consumption of resources, and today's development depends on the survival rights of future generations, can we still live so freely?

"I think you are infinitely broad and don't care about losing a shadow. I thought you had infinite treasure and didn't care about bringing a little peace. I thought you were strong, but your tears are flowing. I thought you had boundless maternal love, but you gradually lost your strength. "

The scarcity of existing resources and the demand and pressure of future development make us have to listen to the warnings of nature. After suffering from "coal shortage", "electricity shortage" and "oil shortage" one after another, China people first tasted the bitterness of resource shortage. In the impatience of queuing to buy candles, in the sudden panic of falling into darkness, the alarm bell has actually sounded!

After decades of investigation, geologists have confirmed that China has become a "resource-weak country" due to its huge population base and rapid economic development. After 50 years, almost all mineral resources except coal in China will be in serious shortage, and about 50% of them will be exhausted. People of insight warned that China will enter an era of severe water shortage in 20 10, and our children will pay a heavy price for our profligacy today.

This is a very dangerous signal. The shortage of resources will be the biggest difficulty that restricts the rapid economic development in China, and it is also the biggest hidden danger that harms our better life.

In fact, under the wheel of development, how to deal with the challenge of resource shortage has become a worldwide topic. In all countries of the world, conservation has become a trend, and the awareness of resource conservation and protection in many countries has been integrated into every detail of life.

These countries are far richer than us, but we are ashamed of their careful use of resources.

The United States is a country rich in resources, and its national consumption level ranks first in the world. However, American students' textbooks are reused. A textbook needs at least 8 students, with an average service life of 5 years. The service life of textbooks in China is only half a year! There are 220 million primary and secondary school students in China. At present, if a textbook can be used continuously for five years, after deducting the cost, the cost savings will be considerable! How many forests will survive in the process of recycling textbooks!

Our neighbor Koreans protected their teeth. Because they cherish resources, they have developed food toothpicks with potato starch or rice flour as raw materials. Disposable tablecloths in restaurants and disposable toiletries in hotels have long since disappeared in Korea.

Disposable chopsticks were originally invented by the Japanese. Japan's forest coverage rate is as high as 65%, but they are forbidden to cut down trees on their own land to make disposable chopsticks. All the wooden chopsticks they use are imported from China, processed into pulp and exported to China for foreign exchange.

Hewlett-Packard is a world-famous big company with strong strength and deep pockets, but they have set up "spare boxes" and "recycling boxes" in their offices. All the paper that has only been used on one side is put in the spare box, others can reuse the back of the paper, and the paper that has been used on both sides is put in the recycling box for recycling. In any Epson company in the world, all double-sided printing paper must be used to paste various reimbursement bills after it is used up.

Behind these seemingly insignificant behaviors is an increasingly recognized knowledge: no matter how rich you are, you have no right to waste resources.

Saving resources depends on everyone's actions.

Accumulate a feather and sink a boat. In our developing country with a population of1300 million, if everyone does not pay attention to saving resources, then our resource reserves will not be able to carry the boat of the development of the Chinese nation;

If China, with a population of 654.38+0.3 billion, really practices economy and opposes waste, its cohesive strength is not only the support for our country to move towards the future, but also a gift from our nation to the earth and mankind.

Don't do it with small evils, don't do it with small goodness. Everyone can stop wasting things in life and bow down where they can save.

Turn off the faucet when washing soap in the shower, and you can save 60 liters of water in the shower; Brush your teeth with a glass of water, only 0.5 liter of water. If you leave the tap on for 5 minutes, you will waste 45 liters of water. Using water-saving appliances in the toilet can save 4-5 liters of water each time; When washing vegetables, use a basin instead of a faucet, so that a meal can save 100 liter of water. ...

The country's 654.380+300 million people use less than a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks, which means that thousands of acres of forests are free from bad luck. Every family in China uses one less plastic bag every day, which can save a lot of oil consumption and reduce environmental pollution.

Recycling 1 ton waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of good paper, reduce the felling of 17 trees, save 3 cubic meters of landfill space, save more than half of papermaking energy and reduce 35% of water pollution.

If energy-saving light sources are adopted, our lighting power consumption will be reduced by 60%, and 74 billion kWh of electricity can be saved a year, which is equivalent to saving 29.89 million tons of standard coal. If all the existing 654.38+300 million refrigerators in China are replaced with energy-saving refrigerators, it will save 4,365.438+32 million kWh of electricity every year, which is equivalent to the power generation of half the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. ...

It is no exaggeration to say that each of us holds precious "resources" and the power to stifle and seize the "lifeblood" of the development of these ethnic groups, and the harm to it and love lies in our actions.

In 1950s and 1960s, the Party and the government vigorously advocated the spirit of saving electricity, a drop of water, a drop of oil, a catty of coal and an inch of cloth. Now the economy has developed, the income has increased, and the life is better, but the spirit of thrift is not out of date, but it has become more meaningful with the development of the times.

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has always regarded thrift as a virtue worth promoting. Today, our 20-word civic moral plan will also be written into the Book of Thrift.

Choosing frugality is not only to choose a lifestyle and pursue a spiritual quality, but also to establish a road to the future.

Its name is sustainable development.

This requires the joint efforts and practice of1300 million people in China.
