1972 The United Nations held the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, with 1 13 countries participating. The meeting discussed the action plan to protect the global environment and adopted the Declaration on the Human Environment. The meeting suggested that the United Nations General Assembly designate June 5th, the opening day of this meeting, as "World Environmental Protection Day". This proposal was accepted and adopted by the 27th UN General Assembly in June 5438+the same year 10. On June 5th every year, countries all over the world will carry out large-scale publicity and commemorative activities on environmental protection, so as to arouse people all over the world's attention to the protection of the environment on which human beings depend, and consciously take action to participate in the joint efforts of environmental protection. At the same time, governments and the United Nations system are required to make contributions to promoting the environmental protection process.
The United Nations Environment Programme has defined 20 10 as "6? 5 "World Environment Day's theme is" Species Diversity? The only planet? * * * and the future ". This year's "6? 5 "The theme of China World Environment Day is:" Low carbon emission reduction? Green life ". While echoing the international theme of protecting biodiversity and caring for the earth's homeland, the theme of China shows the strong determination of China government to stick to Scientific Outlook on Development, vigorously promote the green New Deal, and realize green development, safe development, sustainable development and harmonious development between man and nature. Low-carbon economy is a development model with low energy consumption, low material consumption, low emission and low pollution. Advocating low-carbon economy is conducive to alleviating the contradiction of resource constraints in China's economic development, adjusting and optimizing the economic structure, and changing the mode of economic development, which is of great significance for reducing pollution emissions and exploring new ways of environmental protection. Advocating green life aims to convey the concept of low-carbon life to people, improve public awareness of environmental protection, and make every citizen and family become propagandists, practitioners and promoters of environmental protection, consciously save consumption, advocate green life and contribute to low-carbon emission reduction.
As a simple, simple and thrifty lifestyle, low-carbon life requires people to develop good energy-saving habits in their daily lives, establish a brand-new outlook on life and consumption, reduce carbon emissions, promote the harmonious development between man and nature, build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, and improve people's quality of life. As a sustainable green lifestyle, low-carbon life will be an important way to coordinate economic and social development and environmental protection. In the long run, low-carbon life is a life concept with an eye on the future.
-Low-carbon life is a healthy and green lifestyle. Low-carbon life is a low-energy, low-consumption, low-cost lifestyle, but also a life attitude worth promoting. Low carbon life, we can do it anytime and anywhere. As Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, said, in the process of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, ordinary people have the power to change the future, and everyone has the ability to live a low-carbon life. We should stick to a low-carbon lifestyle.
-Low-carbon life is a more fashionable consumption concept. Low-carbon life advocates sustainable consumption, that is, overcoming the consumption concept first formed since industrialization, giving up "convenience hobby" and "extravagant face consumption", and striving to reduce and correct high-energy and high-waste consumption. It is not only different from insufficient consumption caused by poverty and material shortage, but also different from excessive consumption caused by wealth and material abundance. It is a healthy, hierarchical, rational and convergent consumption mode, and does not pursue luxury, extravagance, quantity and quality. It not only fully enjoys the achievements of modern material civilization, but also always considers reserving and saving space and resources for human development.
Low-carbon life is a brand-new concept of quality of life. Many people are worried that high emissions can bring a high quality of life, and low emissions are poverty. This misunderstanding exists precisely because these people fail to see that at a higher level of development, they can also be low-carbon. For example, in France, which is dominated by nuclear energy, the per capita carbon emissions are half lower than the average level of developed countries; Most countries in northern Europe rely on renewable energy, Denmark basically relies on wind power, and Norway and Sweden rely on hydropower. Facts have proved that these countries have low carbon emissions but high living standards. Low-carbon is to provide a comfortable life and protect human health to the greatest extent under the condition of little impact on the environment or helping to improve the environment. Therefore, low carbon will not reduce people's quality of life, on the contrary, it will raise human life to a higher level.
On February 24th this year, XX held a mobilization meeting to create a national environmental protection model city (hereinafter referred to as the "creation model"), proposing that it will take three years to fundamentally improve the urban environmental quality and build XX into an ecologically harmonious and livable city.
In recent years, XX has continuously strengthened environmental protection and improved environmental quality. In 2009 alone, the city invested more than 2 billion yuan to control air pollution. In this year, the number of days with excellent ambient air quality in the city increased by 38 days compared with the previous year, and the concentrations of sulfur dioxide and inhalable particulate matter decreased significantly. However, we should also see that, as a city with serious structural pollution, Zibo's road to "creative mode" is by no means smooth. However, the main leaders of the municipal party committee and government said: Zibo is determined to win the "creative model"!
According to the work arrangement of the municipal government, in the next few years, the city will intensify the adjustment of industrial structure, while vigorously cultivating strategic emerging industries, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, vigorously promote the "five-year 654.38+050 billion yuan" technical transformation plan, comprehensively improve the technical standards and equipment level of traditional industries, lengthen the industrial chain and reduce pollutant emissions. Combined with the special action of environmental protection, we will intensify the work of eliminating backward production capacity. Before the end of 20 10, all ironmaking blast furnaces with a capacity of 300 cubic meters or less will be shut down, so as to complete the elimination of the shaft kiln cement production line and eliminate ceramics and ceramic production devices that do not meet the environmental protection standards. Resolutely shut down "small-scale" enterprises that have no environmental protection approval procedures and cannot meet the standards stably. Vigorously promote the circular economy in steel, electric power, coal, paper, wine, building materials, non-ferrous metals and other industries, encourage enterprises to form a circular economy industrial chain, and gradually realize "zero emission" of pollutants. Accelerate the adjustment of industrial layout, and do a good job in the relocation, transformation and comprehensive treatment of polluting enterprises in key areas such as eastern chemical industry zone, southern building materials zone and Sibaoshan area.
There is reason to believe that in three years, the sky will be bluer and the water will be clearer in XX, and an ecologically livable new Zibo born out of the old industrial base will surely make the world sit up and take notice. To this end, we send the following initiatives to XXX:
First, establish a new trend of environmental protection. Fully understand that protecting the environment is the unshirkable responsibility of citizens, firmly establish the awareness of green environmental protection, actively learn environmental protection knowledge, infiltrate environmental protection concepts into all aspects of work, study and life, and create a good social trend of "everyone is responsible for protecting the environment".
Second, develop good environmental habits. Cherish resources, care for the environment, start from me, start from now, start from every link of life, consciously save resources, oppose extravagance and waste, use green products, resist white pollution, protect the living environment, and cultivate healthy, civilized, economical and environmentally friendly behavior habits.
Third, * * * to build a new home for environmental protection. Actively participate in the activity of "building an environmental protection model city with small hands and big hands", influence and drive family members, neighbors, friends and more people to participate in the activity, establish a scientific, civilized and healthy scientific lifestyle, and build a sky-blue, water-blue, ecological and environmentally friendly living environment.
Fourth, low-carbon life should start from now, and start from scratch. Low-carbon lifestyle is the expression of human civilization and progress, which is not far away from us and can be implemented anytime and anywhere. In terms of dress, don't wear clothes made of wild animal fur, buy cotton clothes and buy less or no chemical fiber products; In terms of dining, eating more vegetarian food, less meat and less meat will reduce the number of poultry and livestock, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, try not to buy food with complicated packaging, disposable chopsticks and cups, and don't waste them after eating. In terms of transportation, try to drive as little as possible or not, choose to take the train or subway or bus instead of the plane, use bicycles as short-distance transportation, and it is best to walk; In home life, simple energy-saving decoration, solar water heaters, the use of energy-saving lamps. This little saving can reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Manage every link in our work and life with low-carbon consciousness, and each of us can become a "low-carbon person" for environmental protection.
Low-carbon life is a healthy and green lifestyle, a more fashionable consumption concept and a brand-new concept of quality of life. Low-carbon life is not an ability, but an idea. Only by grasping the low-carbon opportunities can we grasp the future development, choose a low-carbon life and enjoy a bright future.
