By valuing ecology, one can receive the gifts of nature. Promoting green development ultimately requires mobilizing the enthusiasm of the majority of villagers
Lin Zhiyuan, a young man returning home, is busy doing business in a tea house next to the Liangshan Greenway in Jingcun Village, Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Zhejiang Province.
By the small river in front of the door, guests are taking their children to catch crabs. "When we were children, we all caught crabs in this river." Looking back on the past, Lin Zhiyuan sighed with emotion. "Later, the river turned into sewage, and the crabs almost disappeared. I also went out to explore. The source of sewage was a mine.". The locals once relied on the mountains to eat, mining and blasting the mountains, and the sound of artillery in the village was incessant. Pockets are rich, but the environment is ruined. The mountains are bald and water turns into soy sauce soup. The stench of the garbage bin is so strong that the village cannot support or retain people. Groups of young people have to go out and explore. Without popularity, the village went from prosperity to decline. The villagers realized that economic growth cannot come at the cost of sacrificing the environment.
Change is imperative.Taking advantage of the favorable policies, the closure of mines, hardening of village roads, garbage collection, sanitation and toilet renovation, dredging of rivers, diversion of rainwater and sewage, and greening of villages have gradually unfolded, and the appearance of villages has undergone earth shaking changes. The ecology is beautiful, the villagers are smiling, and the young people are also back.
The transition from "unable to stay" to "comfortable living" is due to the ecological background polished by blue sky and clear water. As the ancients said, "Although the heavens cover everything, the earth's capacity is limited.". The past lessons of Jingcun Village profoundly demonstrate that human development activities must respect, conform to, and protect nature, otherwise they will face retaliation from nature. By valuing ecology, one can receive the gifts of nature. A good ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods; A good living environment is the earnest expectation of the vast majority of farmers. The murmuring streams reflect the green mountains, and the exquisite small villas create a beautiful home. These villagers live in a more comfortable, safe, hygienic, and healthy environment, laying a solid foundation for a better life.
The transition from "going out" to "geese returning" is attributed to the enhanced happiness of green mountains and clear waters. A few years ago, when he heard that the environment in his hometown had improved, Lin Zhiyuan had the idea of returning to his hometown to start a business. During his inspection, what touched him the most was the beautiful mountains and rivers. "Crabs are back again, and now catching crabs is the most popular parent-child activity here!" The former chemical factory transformed into a Chinese themed coffee shop, attracting young people from all over the world; "Hollow Village" has become a "homestay village", where it is difficult to find a room during peak hours; Cultural activities such as music festivals and tea experiences have made the village's business card brighter and brighter... It has been proven that improving the ecological environment is the development of productivity, and a good ecological environment is the greatest advantage and precious wealth of rural areas.
Ecological civilization is a cause that the people jointly participate in, build, and enjoy. To promote green development, ultimately, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of the majority of villagers. The endogenous driving force of public support is the sense of gain brought about by changes in the village environment and industrial development transformation; The favorable conditions for public support are innovation in grassroots governance. In Jingshan Village, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, relying on intelligent garbage sorting equipment, villagers who correctly classify and dispose of garbage will receive points, which can be used to exchange for various drinks. Each household also has a collection of biodiversity survey images and texts in Jingshan Village to popularize knowledge of wildlife and plants. In his words, Yu Ronghua, the secretary of the village party branch, couldn't hide his pride: "In the past, when they saw wild animals, villagers always wanted to hunt and eat, but now when they see them, they will actively report to the village." The change in philosophy has brought about a sense of action. In Zhejiang, more and more villagers are becoming practitioners of green lifestyles and builders of ecological environments.
From top-down top-level design to bottom-up grassroots exploration, the "Ten Million Project" has gathered a strong force to create thousands of beautiful rural areas, opening a 20-year continuous beauty relay. Strolling through the rural areas of Zhejiang, one can only see "the land is vast, the houses are like, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry and bamboo trees." The idyllic paradise depicted by Tao Yuanming has become a reality. Let green become the background color of beautiful countryside, the vast countryside will definitely be more livable and business friendly, and people's lives will definitely be happier and better.
