Ecological civilization is the result of protecting and improving the ecological environment in the process of developing material civilization, which is manifested in the progress of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and the enhancement of people's concept of ecological civilization. Since the reform and opening up, our party has solemnly put forward many times that while building * * * * material civilization, we should also build * * * * political civilization and * * * spiritual civilization. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the construction of ecological civilization for the first time when expounding the new requirements of realizing the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. To do a good job in ecological civilization construction, we must first understand the basic connotation of ecological civilization and several aspects of ecological civilization construction. 5 1- paper net

Several levels of ecological civilization construction
Building ecological civilization is different from pollution control and ecological restoration in the traditional sense, but a process of overcoming the disadvantages of industrial civilization and exploring a resource-saving and environment-friendly development path. The construction of ecological civilization not only includes all positive and progressive ideological construction of human beings on ecological issues, but also includes the extension and materialization of ecological consciousness in various fields of economy and society. 5 1- paper net
(1) Economic level
The economic aspect of ecological civilization construction means that all economic activities should meet the requirements of harmony between man and nature, mainly including the "greening" and harmlessness of primary, secondary and tertiary industries and other economic activities and the industrialization of ecological environment protection. This requires us to:
Vigorously develop circular economy. Limited resources. To meet the needs of human sustainable development, we must advocate the concept of saving resources in the whole society and strive to form a production model, industrial structure and consumption mode that is conducive to saving resources and reducing pollution. Vigorously develop and popularize advanced and applicable technologies for saving, replacing, recycling resources and controlling pollution, develop clean energy and renewable energy, build a scientific and reasonable energy resource utilization system, and improve energy resource utilization efficiency. Put the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in an important position in the modernization development strategy and implement it in units, families and individuals. 5 1- paper net
Implement cleaner production. Cleaner production not only means saving raw materials and energy and reducing emissions in the production process, but also requires minimizing the damage to human health and natural ecology in the whole production cycle. "Pollution prevention" is the essential feature of cleaner production, which is applicable to the primary, secondary and tertiary industries including industrial production. Traditional production is a mode of production that only emphasizes material production and ignores ecological environment protection. To change this mode of production, it is necessary to constantly carry out the education of cleaner production consciousness, guide people to change the traditional concept of production, make the requirements and methods of cleaner production deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and make the adoption of clean energy, prevention and reduction of pollution become the conscious consciousness and behavior of the government, enterprises and society. 5 1- paper net
Enhance the professional responsibility consciousness of environmental protection industry. As an industry that develops and provides practical technologies, goods and services specifically for improving the ecological environment, environmental protection industry is not only an entity and a market behavior, but also has very important social responsibilities. Therefore, on the basis of vigorously developing the environmental protection industry, we should further carry out extensive publicity and education on the ecological environment, and constantly improve the awareness of ecological professional responsibility of environmental protection industry units and employees. 5 1- paper net
Political level
On the political level, the construction of ecological civilization means that the Party and the government should attach importance to ecological problems, and take solving ecological problems and building ecological civilization as the important contents of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society. This requires us to:
Establish a correct outlook on development and ecology. Taking the construction of ecological civilization as an important task to realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the people, especially leading cadres should establish a correct concept of development and ecology. Governments at all levels should play a leading and main role, and provide institutional, social, corresponding facilities and political guarantee for promoting the construction of ecological civilization. Incorporate the performance of ecological civilization construction into the performance appraisal system of party committees, governments and leading cadres at all levels, and establish and improve the supervision and restriction mechanism. 5 1- paper net
Strengthen the construction of ecological legal system. With the development of China's market economy and the acceleration of the construction of a country ruled by law, ecological protection laws and regulations are playing an increasingly important role in the construction of ecological civilization. Mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to carry out ecological environmental protection and participate in the supervision and management of ecological environmental protection, clarify the responsibilities, rights and obligations of ecological environmental protection, learn to use ecological environmental protection laws and regulations to safeguard their own ecological environmental rights and interests, and dare to report and accuse acts of pollution and destruction of the ecological environment. At the same time, it is necessary to stimulate and strengthen the sense of responsibility of leading cadres at all levels, environmental law enforcement personnel, environmental protection industrial units and their employees and the broad masses of the people for ecological civilization construction through the establishment and implementation of the accountability system for ecological environment violations. 5 1- paper net
Attach importance to the construction of ecological administration. Correctly guide leading cadres at all levels to deeply understand the dialectical relationship between development and population, resources and environment, understand the influence of economic activities on ecological changes and their changing laws, improve their ability to identify changes in ecological quality and solve problems, and enhance their consciousness and initiative in protecting and improving the ecological environment and building ecological civilization. 5 1- paper net
Promote the construction of ecological democracy. To promote the construction of ecological civilization, we must give full play to the main role of the people. Without people's enthusiasm for participation and the main role, the construction of ecological civilization will accomplish nothing. It is necessary to ensure the people's right to know, participate and supervise the construction of ecological civilization, so that the people can deeply understand and clearly understand their own interests from the construction of ecological civilization, thus stimulating their enthusiasm for participating in the construction of ecological civilization. 5 1- paper net
(3) Educational level
The cultural level of ecological civilization construction means that all cultural activities, including all ideas, methods, organization and planning that guide us to create ecological environment, must meet the requirements of ecological civilization construction. This requires us to:
Establish ecological and cultural awareness. Ecological culture is a culture of harmonious development between man and nature. In the new stage of the new century, human beings gradually realize that long-term predatory acquisition and destruction of nature will be punished, and a new concept from conquering and destroying nature to returning to nature and cherishing nature is taking shape. The day when people's ecological consciousness awakens is the time when China's ecological environment improves. Therefore, it is an important measure to carry out ecological education, improve people's recognition of ecological culture, enhance people's self-discipline in natural ecological environment behavior, and firmly establish ecological culture awareness. 5 1- paper net
Attach importance to ecological moral education. Ecology and morality are inseparable. The quality of ecological environment reflects people's ecological moral level; At the same time, people's ecological moral level also greatly affects the quality of the ecological environment. Ecological morality drives people's ecological awareness, behavioral awareness, self-discipline awareness and sense of responsibility. Strengthening ecological moral education can make people consciously assume the responsibility and obligation to protect the ecological environment and fight against all acts that destroy the ecological environment. It is necessary to widely mobilize the people to participate in various forms of ecological moral practice activities, and strive to form a new trend of social civilization in preventing and controlling pollution, protecting ecology, beautifying homes and greening the motherland. 5 1- paper net
Strengthen the construction of ecological culture. As a social and cultural phenomenon, ecological culture abandons human egoism, and gives cultural and ecological construction meaning according to the requirements of respecting nature and harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Specifically, ecological culture includes ecological philosophy culture, ecological ethics culture, ecological science and technology culture, ecological education culture, ecological literature and art culture, ecological aesthetics culture and ecological communication culture. 5 1- paper net
(d) Social dimension
The social aspect of ecological civilization construction refers to attaching importance to and strengthening the construction of social undertakings and promoting the innovation of people's lifestyle. This requires us to create a good social living environment. Establish a legal, democratic, stable and United order and an efficient social management system, form a social fashion dominated by ecological civilization consciousness, and establish a social atmosphere dominated by a civilized, healthy, scientific and harmonious lifestyle. 5 1- paper net
Optimize the "human settlement" living environment. "Habitat" living environment directly affects people's physical and mental health and quality of life. To maintain and optimize the living environment of "human settlements", we should not only attach importance to cities, but also give full consideration to rural areas. As far as the city is concerned, it mainly includes the construction of an ecological community where man and nature live in harmony, so as to form a sustainable ecological virtuous circle area around the city. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of ecological society and strive to meet the growing pursuit of urban residents for the quality of living environment. As far as rural areas are concerned, while promoting the construction of "ecological demonstration areas", we will focus on developing a number of "green residential areas" and building supporting facilities including culture, education, medical care and various services. 5 1- paper net
