Why can the minister come and catch a precise moment? Environmental protection | Enterprise | Zhun'er
Recently, the Minister of Ecology and Environment, Huang Runqiu, adopted the "four no's and two no's" approach to conduct research on air and water pollution prevention and control work in multiple places, identifying many prominent problems, and carrying out relevant rectification in the affected areas as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time the minister has "grasped the current situation". In March 2021, Huang Runqiu went straight to the problem point and exposed several steel companies in a certain area that had not implemented emission reduction requirements, falsified production records, and leaked information. In February and June of this year, he went to multiple places for surprise inspections and found illegal and irregular issues such as excessive emissions of pollutants, falsification of monitoring data, and falsification of production records.
In August, Huang Runqiu conducted research in Hunan. Without greeting, going deep into the scene, daring to catch and manage, and engaging in real confrontation, such hardcore inspections have also become an important driving force for urging rapid rectification in various regions.
To be fair, the problems that the minister has identified are not deeply hidden, such as direct sewage discharge and channel pollution. It is not difficult to find them on the spot. Why have some places been "completely unaware" for a long time?
Especially many issues have been repeatedly named by the central environmental inspection team. For example, a certain energy and chemical base in a certain area has a long history of illegal emissions and has been blacklisted three times by the central environmental protection inspection team, but in the end, it still goes its own way. In theory, the feedback on the inspection situation to various regions can be said to be unclear, but can it be changed over and over again or remains the same? What exactly is the problem?
Sorting out the reasons behind it is actually quite complex.
On the surface, it appears that companies are driven by greed and act recklessly. Some companies and environmental protection departments hide and seek, and as soon as the inspection team leaves, the companies continue to produce in the back; Some disregard laws and regulations, and even if punished, they forget about the pain and scars.
At a deeper level, the stubborn illness is difficult to cure, and there are deviations in the specific implementation level. Or it could be damaging the public and benefiting the private, with industry regulatory authorities secretly colluding with non compliant enterprises, which should have been the "protectors" of the ecological environment and transformed into a "source of pollution" that damages the ecological environment; Or it could be impulsive political performance, turning a blind eye to corporate pollution behavior for short-term benefits, and even willing to compete with the central environmental inspection team to pave the way for illegal enterprises; Or it may be that the style of work is not realistic, and the habit of using investigation instead of punishment and punishment instead of correction for illegal behavior is difficult to form sufficient deterrence, and some enterprises have become more confident and fearless, intensifying their efforts.
There is no substitute for the ecological environment, which is difficult to preserve without realizing it. In the face of various hidden problems in the construction of ecological civilization, it is crucial not to wait for the minister to grasp the current situation. It is crucial to enhance the sense of mission, responsibility, and urgency in all aspects. Especially in terms of regulation, we cannot relax and tighten one after another, and we cannot be careless and hasty.
Of course, considering the limited administrative power, it is also advisable to make more use of technological means to improve regulatory efficiency, such as using satellite remote sensing, video monitoring, big data analysis, and other environmental "eyes" and "ears" to timely detect and monitor pollution sources. Resolutely demonstrating a "zero tolerance" attitude, the filing of the case, the punishment to be punished, and the exposure to be exposed, can truly hit the pain of the violator and form an effective deterrent.
It is worth mentioning that each case has exposed some problems such as low industrialization level and inadequate transformation and upgrading of enterprises. Actively providing assistance to these enterprises, guiding them on the path of high-quality development, and completely uprooting the root of pollution is also a necessary measure for long-term benefits.
If you really hit the nail on the head, take multiple measures together, so you don't have to worry about not having enough ministers.
