College students and energy conservation and environmental protection are the foundation of the development of material society, and energy conservation, consumption reduction, emission reduction and environmental protection are the great cause to ensure the sustainable development of society and benefit future generations. The word "energy-saving" has an unprecedented impact on all aspects of social life, and it has also become the latest hot spot affecting the economic development trend of China in recent years and in the future. Energy conservation and emission reduction refers to reducing energy waste and reducing exhaust emissions. China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" outlines that during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by about 20%, and the total discharge of major pollutants will be reduced by 10%. This is an important measure to implement Scientific Outlook on Development and build a harmonious socialist society. It is an inevitable choice for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society; It is the only way to promote economic restructuring and change the growth mode; It is an inevitable requirement for safeguarding the long-term interests of the Chinese nation. The situation of energy conservation and emission reduction has witnessed rapid economic development for more than 20 years, with the largest consumption population in the world, and China has now become the second largest energy consumer in the world. According to statistics of relevant experts, the total energy consumption in China in 2004 was 65.438+0.97 billion tons, of which coal was 65.438+0.87 billion tons, up 65.438+0.04% year-on-year. 290 million tons of crude oil, up16.8% year-on-year; Natural gas was 465.438+0.5 billion cubic meters, up 654.38+0.8% year-on-year. From 200 1 to 2004, the average annual growth rate of energy consumption in China was as high as 9.89%, reaching 13% and 15.2% in 2003 and 2004 respectively. The huge growth of energy consumption directly leads to the rapid growth of energy production. In 2004, the total primary energy production in China was 6543.8+846 million tons of standard coal, up 654.38+05.2% year-on-year. The power generation is 2 187 billion kwh, up by14.5% year-on-year; Over-speed growth of coal, the output increased by more than 200 million tons in recent two years, and reached 1.956 million tons in 2004, up by1.07% year-on-year; The output of crude oil was 654.38+75 million tons, up 2.9% year-on-year. As a result, the scale of energy construction is growing, and the power investment and coal investment are booming. The speed of satisfaction and development ignores or weakens its negative effects, even if it greatly satisfies its own material desires, it also lays many hidden dangers for its future development with the rapid development of economy and society. These problems become more and more obvious with the passage of time, until they threaten their own survival, such as the emergence of greenhouse effect and water pollution. To some extent, these problems are attributed to people's one-sided understanding of development. They think that as long as it is economical, energy conservation and emission reduction are not only problems caused by environmental pollution such as enterprise production and automobile exhaust emission, but also the subject of society is people, and the theme of energy conservation and environmental protection must be people. Energy conservation and environmental protection must start from everyone. Due to lack of personal understanding or unreasonable system, every drop of water and every kilowatt-hour is wasted, and cars are ruthlessly smoking black smoke ... so everyone is responsible for energy conservation and environmental protection, and everyone needs to participate. Energy conservation and environmental protection is an important measure to thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development and build a harmonious socialist society. Colleges and universities are the main positions for cultivating talents and promoting scientific and technological progress. Doing a good job in the "campus action of energy conservation and emission reduction" can not only promote the school's own energy conservation, reduce the cost of running a school, but also play a demonstration and driving role in society. It can also help students establish energy conservation and environmental protection awareness and master energy conservation and environmental protection skills, which will have a far-reaching impact on China's economic and social development. Dong Zhang, an American college girl studying in Luohe, ignored the opinions of passers-by and picked up garbage on Luohe Wenhua Road. She is picking up rubbish on the cultural route from north to south. When you see plastic bags and scraps of paper on the ground, pick them up. After accumulating to a certain amount, put it in the trash can on the roadside and continue to pick it up along the street. Half an hour later, I saw the girl put the picked-up garbage into the garbage truck and chatted with an elderly sanitation worker. She said, "It is very common to see littering in the street. I want to drive the citizens to talk about environmental protection, because this year, our country will host the Olympic Games, which is our best opportunity to show ourselves to the world!" Therefore, I decided to go to the streets to pick up garbage for an hour every day, calling on everyone to change uncivilized behaviors such as littering, enhance environmental awareness, improve the quality of citizens, and make a contribution to the green Olympics advocated by the state. "Energy conservation and environmental protection, * * * building civilization" I believe these eight words must have a deep or shallow impression in everyone's heart, and maybe they will be on their lips. Save "a drop of water", "a degree of electricity", "a piece of paper" and "a grain of rice", but few people can really do these four things! An investigation agency once conducted a survey on environmental protection in a university, and the results were not so satisfactory. The contents of the survey include the unsalable situation of college students on World Environmental Protection Day, whether they will bring shopping bags when they go out, whether they are willing to spend more money on environmental protection products, their participation in environmental protection activities, whether they use energy-saving products in their lives, what they will do when they see others wasting, whether they have taken practical actions to protect the environment, and how to treat disposable lunch boxes. There are five kinds of garbage prevention habits for college students to sleep with the lights on, and whether they have the habit of littering. As a result, only 54% people know that World Environmental Day is June 5th. As contemporary college students, they know little about environmental protection and the situation is not optimistic. The survey results reveal two problems: First, college students' awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection is not strong enough, and a few college students often pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection issues. Second, college students have obvious deficiencies in specific environmental protection behaviors. As contemporary college students, we should actively participate in the action of energy conservation and environmental protection, and maintain this cause with our own actions. We can carry out the following activities. 1. Vigorously improve college students' awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction. Improve college students' awareness of energy saving and emission reduction through various forms. For example, counselors and class teachers can organize a class meeting with the theme of "saving energy and reducing emissions, building a conservation-oriented campus, practicing economy and opposing waste" to improve students' understanding, help students develop the habit of saving, start from themselves and put an end to waste. Student associations should extensively carry out energy-saving and environmental protection scientific and technological innovation activities; Carrying out energy-saving knowledge and skills competition on campus every year and rewarding the winners can not only improve students' energy-saving awareness, but also achieve the purpose of popularizing energy-saving knowledge. Earnestly carry out colorful and diverse resource-saving activities. 2. Strengthen the propaganda work of energy conservation and instill the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction in students. It is necessary to carry out various forms of publicity and education activities and create a spiritual atmosphere of advocating thrift and carrying forward hard work. Mobilize students to start from scratch, consciously form the habit of turning off the lights, turn off the power before leaving the classroom, put an end to daytime lights and ever-burning lamps, and try to use natural light indoors; The computer is set to sleep automatically. In students' dormitories, libraries, restaurants and other public places, turn off the tap as much as possible, develop the good habit of turning it off at will, and resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of "continuous running water". Use environmental protection bags when shopping to reduce the use of plastic bags. According to statistics, if the use of plastic bags is reduced by 10% nationwide, about 12000 tons of standard coal and 3 10000 tons of carbon dioxide can be saved every year, which is very impressive. In addition, plan every meal and save every grain. This is what every college student in Xinjiang can do, and it is the most realistic and effective energy saving and emission reduction activity. According to relevant data, if the national per capita reduces the waste of grain by 0.5 kg per year, it can save energy by about 24 1 10,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 610.2 million tons per year. It can be seen that saving food is a very realistic energy-saving behavior. College students in Xinjiang should take active actions, plan every meal well, achieve balanced nutrition and not waste any grain. In this way, it not only learned to be responsible for its own profits and losses, but also achieved the role of energy conservation and emission reduction. 3. Establish a website and make exhibition boards. Colleges and universities in Xinjiang can establish special energy-saving knowledge websites to better introduce various energy-saving professional knowledge to students. In addition, you can also make exhibition boards to promote energy conservation in colleges and universities, and you can also invite celebrities from all walks of life to participate in activities. 4. Establish information collection and feedback system. Colleges and universities should arrange special personnel to be responsible for the inspection of energy-saving work in the whole school, hold students' symposiums from time to time, hang suggestion boxes, solicit opinions from teachers and students through various forms, adopt good suggestions, and constantly improve rules and regulations. In a word, by taking various measures to improve the awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction of college students in China, it will obviously promote the energy conservation and emission reduction of colleges and universities in China and make the construction of conservation-oriented campus in China achieve the expected results.
