As far as China is concerned, the problem of environmental protection is imminent. Discussions, arguments, criticisms and even abuse about environmental protection and governance are staged every day. The "poisonous runway" events often exposed in social news and the repeated chemical pollution have always affected our lives and even our health.
As the saying goes, "people changed their lives for money thirty years ago, and money changed their lives thirty years later." When we choose unqualified products by cutting costs for economic benefits and don't deal with the sequelae behind the benefits, then one day we will need more money to change our lives for a longer period of time, and we may even not be able to buy them.
We don't want environmental protection to eventually become a vital interest. When environmental pollution becomes a real pain, we will take action.
You may say that our economy is not developed enough, so we don't control pollution. You will also say that environmental protection is a luxury, and I will buy such a service if I have money. Sorry, it's too late. The environment has been polluted and there is no way out. We have to leave our hometown to choose a new city. This is definitely not what human beings should do today with the development of civilization.
Therefore, environmental protection is our need. Environmental protection should be a social problem, a public management problem, a legal problem and a public participation problem. You can't destroy green mountains and green hills just because there is no Jinshan Yinshan. Of course, do you think we will not develop the economy? The answer is no, too. The current green development and circular economy have given us many choices between nature and economy. We can walk slowly but steadily.
Fortunately, in the domestic and international macro-environment, it has been basically reached that in dealing with climate change and carbon emission reduction, we should not focus on immediate interests, but should take the welfare of future generations as the ultimate goal.
