The Danes put those small fish that are not big enough back into the river and catch them when they grow up. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Mencius in China said, "A few things can't enter the pool, and fish and turtles can't fight for food."
People began to pay attention to the relationship between man and nature, which has also become the focus of global attention. However, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ancient Chinese scholars had the foresight to put forward solutions that are still applicable today.
Sustainable development is a problem that the whole world should ponder deeply. The exploitable amount of global resources is rapidly decreasing. According to statistics, the global oil resources can still be used for about 55 years with the currently proven quantity; According to the current level of energy consumption, coal mining on the earth can only last for about 200 years. If all these resources are used up, how can our children and grandchildren live? Where is the future of mankind?
However, there are still discordant voices. The media claimed that the Copenhagen Climate Conference was the last chance to save the planet. At the meeting, the presidents of the Pacific island countries burst into tears. If the problem is not solved, the global climate will continue to rise as it is now, and in a few years, his country will be submerged in a piece of Wang Yang. Environmentalists also shouted slogans outside the venue, hoping to promulgate effective policies as soon as possible. On the one hand, we saw the efforts of the masses, but on the other hand, the result of the meeting was disappointing. Great powers refused to give up their immediate interests, and no one would take a step back. Under the banner of environmental protection, they did not unite heads of state as people expected, and they were still inseparable from interests. If they can think calmly like Danes or Mencius, the benefits of managing the environment will be beneficial to the development of the country in the long run. Give up the present, but get more returns. Why not?
Of course, we can also see people's active efforts. A small town in northern Korea is rich in persimmons. Every year when the harvest is good, there will always be some persimmons left on the trees, even if they are ripe, they will not be picked. Why is this? Actually, it's all food for magpies. One winter was so cold that magpies froze to death because they couldn't find food. Unexpectedly, spring has come, and the food eaten by magpies is full of insects. As a result, persimmon granules were not harvested that year, and they were eaten by insects as soon as they grew. Since then, farmers have made such a rule that when spring comes, magpies are busy catching insects and maintaining ecological balance, and the harvest is getting better every year. Putting the concept of sustainable development into practice has not only played a positive role in protecting the ecological environment, but also brought magpies a bumper harvest this year.
Almost everyone knows the concept of sustainable development, but few people really do it. Therefore, advocating sustainable development is not only in slogan, but also in action. From the budding thoughts of ancient sages to the modern mature management system, we should consider our own behavior in the long run and start from the side!
