Keep lucid waters and lush mountains can we get invaluable assets

        In recent years, people's quality of life continues to improve, social development and scientific and technological level also gradually improve, but the environment we rely on for survival is deteriorating. According to the report, this year, climate has become worse as a whole. Waterlogging is more serious than drought, and the temperature has increased. Landing typhoons are more and stronger, which shows that the environment is deteriorating. In the long run, what is human development? What is survival and health?

        

        We all like to get close to the open green grass in the sunny afternoon, appreciate the charming red flowers, listen to the melodious birdsong, and experience the picturesque life. However, how can we survive in the future when the emerald green grass, delicate red flowers and graceful birdsong are replaced by sewage, sand and noise? How to talk about others when even survival has become a problem? We often use the slogan "sustainable development", but have we really achieved it? Or has it become more and more involved in the flood of "time is money, efficiency is life"? Perhaps it's the fear caused by panic, or the fear of being held responsible for it. In some places, the habitual approach to environmental pollution is to "cover the lid", in other words, reduce the trouble to the minimum. But we don't know that it will lead to serious consequences.

        

        The purpose of development is to improve people's livelihood and make people happier and happier. However, the development based on excessive consumption of resources and environmental pollution is not sustainable, and it will not be worth the loss. In order to obtain sustainable development, we must strengthen the prevention and control of pollution, not as a slogan. In the reports of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China of General Secretary Xi Jinping, "the world we live in is full of hope and challenges." Environmental damage and ecological pollution are the most serious challenges, which are closely related to national life and economic construction. Therefore, we should pay more attention to environmental protection and bear in mind that the source of sustainability development is lucid water and green mountains.

        

        Britain is the first country in the world to have an industrial revolution. In the past, everyone spoke highly of it, believing that it is a new chapter in the development of human history, representing that people bid farewell to agricultural civilization, move towards industrial civilization, and bring happiness to the people. However, from the Perspective of ecological environment, the industrial revolution in Britain has left us many experiences and lessons worth pondering. In the process of rapid economic development, although they have created unprecedented productivity and huge wealth, they also caused the first large-scale environmental pollution in human history. Air pollution caused air deterioration, river pollution affected water quality deterioration, and natural environment and urban environmental pollution caused ecological deterioration. At that time, the United Kingdom was shrouded in waste gas and could not see the sun all the year round. Because of the stench of waste residue and waste water, people were suffering from various diseases and died. After long-term environmental treatment, the situation was gradually improved.

        

        Britain has paid a heavy price for environmental damage, which also reminds us that economic development and social progress should not sacrifice the environment. If there is no suitable environment for survival, everything is moonshine. Therefore, we should protect the environment while developing the economy, and achieve a win-win situation, so as to truly enjoy the benefits of industrial civilization.

        

        Environmental protection is not only the responsibility of the state and the government, but also the responsibility of every enterprise and every citizen. Only by firmly fighting the battle of pollution prevention and control can we leave a beautiful home for future generations and win a bright future for the Chinese nation!
