According to the information I got before, I simply thought that environmental pollution was just smoke billowing, or garbage floating on the water, stinking, mosquitoes accumulating, dust flying and so on. However, this year, from the network, newspapers, radio and television, people's attention, I seem to understand; The reality is much worse. The drought in five southwest provinces is the reason we didn't even think of. Expert analysis: Because in the past 10 years, a large number of fast-growing eucalyptus forests were introduced from New Zealand in the southwest of China. In order to seek short-term economic benefits, they planted large areas for industrial paper making, which led to imbalance of species ecological environment and serious shortage of groundwater. As the saying goes, it takes ten years for trees to grow into big trees in two or three years. This kind of eucalyptus is a huge water pump and fertilizer pump, which constantly erodes the living space of other plant species, while the local people are immersed in the rigid and wrong guiding ideology that a variety of trees can protect the environment and continue to develop in a vicious circle. It is this unexpected reason that finally led to the once-in-a-century drought in southwest China. In the newspaper, I saw Premier Wen holding a dead seedling on the parched farmland and only said one sentence: "Learn from a bitter experience!" " "
Yunnan has vast virgin forests, many scenic spots and unique geographical environment. Since ancient times, it has been a beautiful place with a pleasant climate. However, in order to grow this kind of eucalyptus, a large number of virgin forests have been cut down. Imagine that these trees, which took decades or even hundreds of years to form, were destroyed just to meet the fastest paper-making speed. What a pity and sorrow.
It is said that another reason for the drought is that all rivers have built hydropower stations. I have my own feelings about this. Two years ago, the water surface of Xiangjiang River was so wide, but after the hydropower station was built in the upper reaches, the water volume in the lower reaches was obviously reduced, and even the riverbed was often exposed, which affected the water diversion project of urban tap water. I have these feelings, and those small fish and shrimps in the river should feel deeper.
A few days ago, there was another gutter oil incident in the newspaper. According to the newspaper, gutter oil is food that someone else has eaten and dumped into the trash can. After simple refining and processing, some unscrupulous merchants not only can't smell the odor, but also taste delicious after adding essence, but it is very harmful to human body. I dare not eat out casually now.
I am very worried about the increasingly serious environmental pollution, which affects all aspects of our lives.
