On the relationship between economic development and environmental protection

With the rapid development of industrial economy today, environmental issues have attracted more and more widespread attention. How to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection and achieve a "win-win" for both has become an important issue faced by the whole society. This article combines the actual situation of _ town in Changshan County to conduct a superficial discussion on the relationship between economic development and environmental protection.

1. Current Situation of Economic Development and Environmental Protection of _ Town

Located in the northern suburbs of Changshan County, the “Hometown of Hu Pomelos in China”, _ Town is one of the four strongest towns in Quzhou City. First, it is rich in mineral resources. The proven limestone reserves are 1 billion tons and the stone coal reserves are 300 million tons. They rank first in the province in terms of reserves and grade. Relying on resource advantages, resource-consuming enterprises such as building materials and light calcium have developed rapidly. Currently, there are more than 96 industrial enterprises in the town, including 3 cement enterprises, 10 light calcium enterprises, 12 lime shaft kilns, and 20 lime production and processing enterprises. By 2005, the town's total industrial production value had reached 1.45 billion yuan, and industrial profits and taxes reached 38 million yuan. However, the rapid development of the industrial economy has also brought about a series of environmental problems, especially the original earth kilns fired by traditional methods, lime processing sheds, a batch of limestone stone coal crushing points and grinding points, and the ingestion of ores. , and also "spit" a large amount of smoke and dust. In addition, the environmental protection investment and management of cement, light calcium enterprises, and stone coal mining enterprises are not in place, making _ town a well-known pollution-stricken area in the province, and the people are deeply affected by environmental pollution. , environmental pollution disputes occur frequently, which greatly hinders the further sustainable development of the social economy of _ town. The current contradictions between economic development and environmental protection mainly include the following:

1. Weak awareness of regional ecological environment. On the one hand, the local people’s awareness of environmental protection is relatively weak. Decades of pollution in the town have made local people accustomed to environmental pollution. They will only seek compensation and protection when their own interests are directly damaged; on the other hand, the vast majority of Some local business owners lack environmental awareness and social responsibility, and are unwilling to increase investment in environmental protection equipment and strengthen management. They even often idle environmental protection equipment and secretly discharge pollutants, often sacrificing and destroying the environment in pursuit of maximizing economic benefits. In addition, the environmental protection awareness of many local town and village cadres at the grassroots level also needs to be further improved.

2. Economic development and ecological environment protection are not coordinated enough. Mainly manifested in the following aspects: serious regional ecological damage; excessive solid waste generation and secondary pollution; serious resource damage and waste; serious pollution of the atmospheric environment and water environment, and poor environmental quality. However, the regional economic aggregate is not strong and the sustainable development capability is poor. In 2002, the GDP output per unit area was only 02.9 million yuan/square kilometer, which is an extremely low level.

3. The economic growth pattern is still extensive. The economic growth of _ town mainly relies on traditional products and traditional production methods, which is an extensive growth. The performance is as follows: product quality is relatively poor, technical level is relatively low, and product added value is low; limestone resources are relatively abundant, but mining and processing technology is relatively backward, environmental pollution is serious and there are serious hidden dangers; enterprise scale is relatively small and competitiveness is not strong.

4. The resource-based industrial economy brings serious environmental pressure. As the intensity of limestone development continues to increase, industries such as cement, light calcium carbonate, and lime continue to expand, and the strategy of strengthening special economic towns continues to advance. The development of resource-based industries has brought huge opportunities. At the same time, the economic structure of resource-based industries has a negative impact on the environment. It brings huge environmental pressure, including dust and noise pollution from cement, dust and sewage pollution from calcium carbonate, sulfur dioxide and solid waste pollution from lime, and damage to the ecological environment caused by the mining of limestone, coal and other resources.

5. Ineffective management and enforcement by relevant government departments.

As an important economic town in Quzhou City with many industrial enterprises, serious pollution and relatively developed economy, there is no corresponding environmental protection management agency and corresponding full-time environmental protection personnel. The town government’s environmental protection work for many years has been more about coordinating and handling environmental pollution and disputes among the masses. and assist the Environmental Protection Bureau in collecting sewage fees; the county environmental protection department's supervision and law enforcement force is also relatively weak. It lacks environmental protection staff and work vehicles with professional knowledge, making it difficult to cope with the increasingly severe environmental pollution situation. At the same time, law enforcement and management are not strong enough. , is relatively tolerant of environmental pollution behaviors, causing enterprises to have the bad idea that "the cost of violating the law is lower and the cost of complying with the law is higher", and lacks better measures to promote environmental pollution remediation.

2. Countermeasures to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection

Currently, our country is in a period of rapid industrialization, at the peak of environmental pollution and resource consumption, and the environmental status is far from the There is a considerable gap between the requirements for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. Our county has determined two major strategies of "establishing the county with industry and developing characteristics". As an economically strong town, how to effectively protect the environment and promote the harmonious development of man and nature while accelerating development is one of the most severe challenges it faces. one. The author believes that scientific development can only be achieved by firmly establishing and conscientiously implementing the scientific concept of development, solving environmental problems through economic development, promoting development through solving environmental problems, and taking a win-win path between development and environmental protection.

1. Strengthen environmental awareness and establish ecological concepts. It is necessary to establish the environmental value concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and realize the transformation from exchanging the environment for economic growth to optimizing economic growth with the environment. Green waters and green mountains mean a beautiful living environment, clean water sources and fresh air, which can greatly reduce direct and indirect losses caused by environmental pollution and ecological damage, and greatly reduce the huge cost of pollution control and ecological restoration. Greatly alleviate various social conflicts caused by ecological and environmental problems and maintain social stability. It is necessary to fully understand the high consistency between environmental protection and scientific development, correctly handle the relationship between environment and construction, and establish an ecological concept of harmony between man and nature. "Environmental protection is based on education". We must vigorously popularize scientific knowledge on environmental protection, improve the environmental awareness of the whole people, combine the scientific concept of coordinating the relationship between man and nature with the Chinese nation's fine tradition of caring for nature, diligence and thrift, and popularize it through various channels. Scientific knowledge, forming a common sense in the whole society to understand the national conditions, cherish the environment, protect the ecology, save resources, and benefit future generations, and vigorously advocate ecological industry, ecological agriculture, ecological service industry, as well as ecological environment, ecological settlement and ecological cultural construction , abandon the blind pursuit of excessive consumption, and advocate a correct lifestyle.

2. Make environmental protection an important part of decision-making and implement the basic national policy of environmental protection from the source. Environmental protection starts from the source. The most important thing is that governments at all levels, management departments at all levels, and leaders at all levels must assume the responsibility of improving environmental quality and environmental management in accordance with the law, firmly establish the concept of scientific development, and transform environmental factors into decision-making. We should adopt an external decision-making model and implement comprehensive decision-making on environment and development. At the same time, a correct view of political performance must be established. It is necessary to replace the traditional GDP accounting system with a green GDP accounting system, incorporate environmental protection into the performance assessment of governments at all levels, educate cadres to establish a long-term and sustainable view of performance, and change the view of performance that sacrifices long-term interests for short-term benefits. It is necessary to establish the macro-control concept that structure determines effectiveness, and focus on adjusting the economic structure. At present, based on the resource endowment and environmental carrying capacity of different areas of our town, we must further clarify the regional positioning of optimized development, key development, restricted development, and prohibited development, so as to form a clear functional positioning, clear development direction, standardized development order, economic development and population A new pattern of scientific regional development that coordinates resources and the environment. Efforts should be made to rationally adjust the industrial and product structure, change the extensive growth mode of high investment, high consumption, high emissions, and low efficiency as soon as possible, and achieve the "empty cage for birds" and "phoenix nirvana" of economic development.
