Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development's strategic deployment, an important measure to coordinate the harmonious development between man and nature and promote sustainable development, and an important task to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode, ease resource constraints and environmental pressure, improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth and realize economic, clean and safe development.

Key words: protection, resources, economic development, energy consumption, sustainable development.

I. Introduction

1. At present, problems such as high resource consumption, great waste and serious environmental pollution still exist in China. With the rapid economic growth and increasing population, the contradiction between the shortage of fresh water, land, energy and minerals is more prominent, and the environmental pressure is increasing day by day. We must establish the consciousness and concept of saving in the whole society, advocate saving culture and civilization, extensively carry out resource saving activities with rich contents and various forms, and actively create saving cities, governments, enterprises and communities.

2. This paper will discuss its scientific connotation, importance, urgency and implementation measures.

Second, this theory

(A) the scientific connotation of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society

1. To build a resource-saving society is to effectively protect and rationally use all kinds of resources in all fields of social production, construction, circulation and consumption and all aspects of economic and social development, improve the efficiency of resource utilization, obtain the maximum economic, social and ecological benefits with as little resource consumption and environmental cost as possible, meet the people's growing material and cultural needs, and realize the social development model of sustainable development.

2. Building an environment-friendly society is a social development model with the goal of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, based on environmental carrying capacity, centered on following natural laws, advocating environmental civilization and ecological civilization, and pursuing coordinated economic and social development.

The core content of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is to effectively protect and rationally use all kinds of resources, improve the efficiency of resource utilization, live in harmony with nature, follow the laws of nature, obtain the greatest economic, social and ecological benefits with the least resource consumption and environmental costs, realize sustainable development and improve people's living standards.

(B) Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is a strategic decision based on China's basic national conditions.

1, China has a large population, which brings great pressure on resources and environment.

Overpopulation has greatly increased the demand for resources and the discharge of nature, thus increasing the pressure on natural resources and the environment.

2. China's relatively insufficient resources, high resource consumption and low resource utilization efficiency have seriously restricted economic and social development.

(1) China is relatively poor in resources. There is a shortage of water, arable land, electricity and oil, and the per capita resources are far below the world's per capita resources, and the dependence on foreign countries of some important mineral resources such as oil is rising.

(2) High resource consumption and great waste.

China's industrial water consumption per 10,000 yuan output value is 108 cubic meters, the United States is 8 cubic meters, and Japan is only 6 cubic meters, which is five times higher than the international average; The energy consumption for creating 10,000 yuan GDP is three times that of the United States, five times that of Germany, nearly six times that of Japan and three times that of the world average.

(3) The utilization efficiency of resources in China is low.

3. Environmental pollution and ecological destruction in China seriously restrict economic and social development and threaten people's bottom-up development.

The wastewater discharge per unit GDP in China is four times higher than that in developed countries, and the solid waste discharge per unit industrial output value is 10 times higher than that in developed countries. The annual emission of sulfur dioxide19.27 million tons ranks first in the world, and the annual emission of carbon dioxide ranks second in the world. Less than 654.38+0% of the cities have air quality meeting the national first-class standard, and the area of soil erosion is 3.56 million square kilometers, with an average annual increase of 6.5438+0.5 million square kilometers, accounting for 37% of the national territory, and desertification is serious. Environmental pollution and ecological destruction threaten people's health, cause huge economic losses and restrict economic development.

(C) the importance and urgency of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society

1, which is conducive to the steady and rapid development of China's economy.

(1) Resources and environment are the material basis and guarantee for sustainable economic and social development, and economic development cannot be separated from the support of resources and environment.

(2) China's resources are relatively insufficient, the per capita possession is low, and the extensive growth mode causes excessive consumption of resources, serious environmental pollution and serious ecological damage. The contradiction between resources and environment and economic and social development is increasingly prominent, which seriously restricts China's economic and social development and endangers the bottom-up and development of future generations of the Chinese nation.

(3) Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, protecting and rationally utilizing resources, improving the efficiency of resource utilization, living in harmony with nature and protecting the environment and ecology can promote the steady, rapid and sustainable development of China's economy and society.

2. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is conducive to reducing costs and improving economic benefits and international competitiveness.

China's high resource consumption and low utilization rate have affected the international competitiveness of enterprises and industries in China. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, improving resource utilization efficiency, developing circular economy, promoting clean production and protecting environment and ecology can reduce production costs and improve economic benefits and international competitiveness.

3. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is an inevitable requirement for the full implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development.

To build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is to coordinate economic development with population, resources and environment, realize rapid and sustainable economic development and promote harmony between man and nature on the premise of saving resources and protecting the environment. This is also the content of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development.

Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is an important guarantee to realize the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

To realize the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, resources and environment must be guaranteed. The extensive mode of economic growth in China affects the realization of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. An important goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way is to continuously enhance the ability of sustainable development, improve the ecological environment, significantly improve the efficiency of resource utilization, promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and push the whole society onto the civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology.

Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is an important measure to safeguard national security and improve China's comprehensive national strength.

To solve the problem of resources needed by China's construction, the focus and foothold must be at home. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society can control and reduce dependence on foreign resources, ensure national economic security and national security, and improve China's comprehensive national strength.

6. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is an important part of promoting the construction of a harmonious socialist society.

The harmony between man and nature is one of the basic characteristics of a harmonious socialist society. Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society can achieve harmony between man and nature.

Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is the need of reality and long-term interests, with clear policy orientation. To do a good job in resource conservation, we must comprehensively use various means, especially economic means such as price and tax, to promote the economical and rational use of resources. Second, we must promptly formulate and improve the standards for energy saving, water saving, land saving and material saving in various industries, promote the construction of key projects for energy saving and consumption reduction, and promote intensive land use. Encourage the development of energy-saving products and buildings that save energy and land. Third, vigorously promote equipment renewal and technical transformation focusing on energy saving and consumption reduction, and accelerate the elimination of processes, equipment and products with high energy consumption, high water consumption and high consumables. Fourth, vigorously develop circular economy and implement a number of pilot projects of circular economy in key industries, industrial parks, cities and rural areas. Improve the preferential tax policies for comprehensive utilization of resources and recycling of renewable resources, and promote comprehensive utilization of waste and recycling of waste resources. Fifth, strengthen management in an all-round way, incorporate energy conservation and consumption reduction into the statistics, evaluation and assessment system of economic and social development, and establish an information release system. Sixth, carry out extensive and lasting resource-saving activities in the whole society, so that building a resource-saving society is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

(4) Important ways and measures to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

1. Vigorously develop circular economy and realize the fundamental transformation of economic growth mode.

Circular economy model is a closed-loop feedback cycle process of resource products, wastes and renewable resources. It takes the efficient utilization and recycling of resources as the core, takes the principle of "reduction, reuse and recycling", and is characterized by low consumption, low emission and high efficiency, which conforms to the economic growth model of sustainable development concept.

2, to save resources and "population control and environmental protection" as the basic national policy.

(1) Insist on paying equal attention to development and saving, giving priority to saving, vigorously promoting energy saving, water saving, land saving and material saving, strengthening comprehensive utilization of resources, and improving the recycling system of renewable resources.

(2) Strengthen environmental protection, reduce the total discharge of pollutants and strengthen the control of air pollution and water pollution.

(3) Effectively protect the natural ecology and promote the construction of ecological projects such as returning farmland to forests and grasslands, soil erosion and desertification.

3. Strengthen national macro-control and implement economic means such as price, tax and finance that are conducive to resource conservation and environmental protection.

4. Actively develop and popularize technologies for resource conservation, substitution, recycling and environmental and ecological protection.

5, strengthen the construction of the legal system, improve the legal system of saving resources and protecting the environment, and increase the investigation and punishment of illegal acts.

6. Establish a consumption pattern that saves resources and protects the environment. Advocate green consumption and encourage the purchase of energy-saving and environment-friendly cars and energy-saving and land-saving houses.

Third, the conclusion

Building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society is a systematic project, involving all aspects and requiring the joint efforts of the whole society. "Conservation and environmental protection should focus on the overall situation and start from small things. It is necessary to carry out extensive publicity and education on energy conservation and environmental protection in the whole society, form an ideological system conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection, and then form a good social atmosphere. " Member Wang Ping, Chairman of the National Committee of China Agriculture, Forestry and Water Conservancy Federation, said.

Some deputies pointed out that most of the current waste phenomena and behaviors are rooted in the lack of conservation consciousness, and the concept of "vast territory and abundant resources" has made many people lack a sense of resource crisis since childhood. In the grand systematic project of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, it is particularly important to establish citizens' awareness of environmental conservation and develop environmental conservation habits. As Commissioner Xu Yiming mentioned in his speech, "saving is not because of poverty, but because of poverty. We should make savings a symbol of quality, spirit, education and even fashion. "

Member Cheng, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, stressed that the whole society should advocate healthy and civilized consumption patterns. For example, it is a good habit to turn off the lights conveniently, but for energy-saving lamps, you should not switch them too frequently, otherwise the electricity consumption will also affect your life; The power consumption of household appliances during standby accounts for 65,438+00% of household appliances, and the plug should be unplugged when not in use, and so on. Relevant state departments, research institutions and social organizations should give guidance to people on how to save resources and protect the environment in their daily lives. Committee member Xu Yiming suggested that special attention should be paid to cultivating students' awareness, knowledge and skills of energy conservation. Incorporate the content of building a conservation-oriented society into the school education system at all levels, organize experts to provide guidance for schools, train teachers, and establish resource-saving teaching bases relying on relevant factories and enterprises.

The harmony between man and nature is an important content of building a harmonious socialist society. China is in the stage of accelerated development of heavy chemical industry and urbanization. The experience of many countries shows that this period is the most prominent contradiction between man and nature. However, the delegates believe that as long as we implement the strictest management methods, adopt the most economical management means, establish the most efficient management system and mobilize the widest social participation, we will certainly be able to accelerate the transformation of economic growth mode and realize the goal of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.
