In the rapid development of the economy at the same time, environmental protection is also increasingly important. Since the reform and opening up, China's rapid economic development, a high-rise buildings rise, but for this we have paid a huge cost of resources and the environment, economic development and resources and the environment are increasingly sharp contradiction. This situation is directly related to the economic structure is not reasonable, the growth mode is sloppy. Do not speed up the adjustment of economic structure, change the mode of growth, resources can not support, the environment can not accommodate, the community can not afford, economic development is unsustainable. Only by adhering to conservation, clean development and safe development can we achieve sound and rapid economic development. At the same time, greenhouse gas emissions have caused global warming, which is of great concern to the international community. Further strengthening energy conservation and emission reduction is also an urgent need to address global climate change.
Energy conservation and emission reduction refers to the reduction of energy waste and lower emissions. Due to the people of the highly developed industry of the negative impact of insufficient anticipation, prevention is unfavorable, resulting in a global three major crises: resource shortages, environmental pollution, ecological damage. Human beings are constantly emitting pollutants into the environment. However, due to the diffusion, dilution, oxidation-reduction and biological degradation of the atmosphere, water and soil. The concentration and toxicity of pollutants will be reduced naturally, this phenomenon is called environmental self-purification. If the emission of substances exceeds the self-purification capacity of the environment, the quality of the environment will undergo adverse changes, jeopardizing human health and survival, which occurs in environmental pollution. In recent years, environmental pollution has become more and more serious, so the current situation is very serious to achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction. 1989 survey of the National Congress of 854 cities and towns, the daily emissions amounted to 36.53 billion tons. Among them, industrial wastewater reached an agreement of 550 million tons. The vast majority of this wastewater is discharged directly without treatment, polluting rivers, lakes and seas. in the first quarter of 2004, 24 provinces and municipalities in the country had a serious shortage of electricity, and the problem of power shortage is facing the most severe moment in 20 years. There is a huge gap in the supply of coal in the country, and coal is in short supply in all parts of the country. Of the more than 600 cities in the country, more than 420 have insufficient water supply. The relative lack of water resources is increasingly becoming an outstanding contradiction that restricts the development of electricity, coal, water, a comprehensive emergency, energy conservation is imminent.
China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" program proposed, "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period of energy consumption per unit of GDP by about 20%, the total emissions of major pollutants by 10%. This is the implementation of the scientific concept of development, the construction of a socialist and harmonious society, a major initiative; is the construction of resource-saving, environmentally friendly society, the inevitable choice; is to promote economic restructuring, change the mode of growth of the way; is to safeguard the long-term interests of the Chinese nation's inevitable requirements.
To achieve energy saving and emission reduction, we must start from small things, everyone's hands to create a better home. We can take the following points of feasible suggestions:
One, saving electricity. To pay attention to turn off the lights, you can use energy efficient light bulbs. According to U.S. energy sector estimates, the use of energy efficient light bulbs instead of traditional light bulbs, you can avoid 400 million tons of carbon dioxide was released. In addition to lights, in the use of other electrical appliances should also pay attention to, as far as possible to choose low-consumption energy-saving products, do not use electrical appliances to cut off or turn off the power supply, the refrigerator so that it is in a frost-free state. When the weather is not too hot in summer, it is best to use fans or electric fans instead of air conditioners. When using air conditioning, do not set the temperature too low, 26 ℃ on the line.
Two, save water. Many wastewaters can be recycled. Water from washing your face, hands, vegetables, baths, and clothes can be collected to scrub floors, flush toilets, and water flowers. Rice water, on the other hand, is a good stain remover and can be left to wash dishes. Stained with oil pots and pans should be used first with a used napkin to wipe clean, wash up water-saving and convenient, but also can use less detergent, reduce water pollution.
Three, saving paper. Paper recycling, can avoid the release of methane gas from landfills, but also less cutting down of trees. According to statistics, the recovery of a ton of waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of recycled paper, you can cut down 17 trees, saving paper is to protect forest resources, protect the environment.
Four, reduce emissions. Transportation exhaust and industrial exhaust is the main source of life exhaust. We go out as much as possible by public **** car or cab, but also can ride a bicycle, as little as possible by private car. Factories fill the city with a lot of smoke from burning garbage and producing goods. They should process and filter the exhaust gases and then emit them will reduce pollution. Plants can absorb carbon dioxide and then release oxygen, so we need to plant a lot of trees, especially by the highway.
V. Separate garbage. Separating garbage recovers valuable resources and reduces the amount of energy consumed in landfills and burning garbage. For example: waste paper is sent directly to paper mills for the production of recycled paper; disposable items such as beverage bottles, cans and plastics can also be sent to relevant factories to become recycled resources; household appliances can be sent to specialized manufacturers for decomposition and recycling. Home can prepare different garbage bags, respectively, to collect waste paper, plastic, packaging boxes, etc., every day for the classification and recycling of garbage, as far as possible to do "waste to treasure".
Someone said it well: the main body of society is people, the main body of energy saving and emission reduction must also be people, energy saving and emission reduction must start from each one. Yes, to make us live in a wonderful and harmonious world, we not only just recognize the importance of environmental protection, but also to put into action. Therefore, we should join hands, *** with the creation of our beautiful life; let us take action, energy saving and emission reduction, to save the fate of the earth's homes, to maintain the human race a continue to survive in the future!
