100 little things you can do to protect the environment
1 Use cloth bags
When we go shopping in stores or farmers’ markets, almost every item will come with a plastic bag bags, these plastic bags are often thrown into the trash immediately after returning home. Plastic bags leave our homes as trash, but they don't disappear from the world. In most areas of our country, plastic bags can be seen everywhere. When encountering windy weather, they will fly in the air and land on branches and rivers, affecting sanitation and city appearance. Plastic bags increase the amount of garbage, occupy farmland, and pollute soil and groundwater. What's more serious is that plastic cannot degrade in nature for hundreds of years. If it is burned, it will produce toxic gases. It is only for temporary convenience, but the garbage is left to future generations. Is this appropriate? Taking Beijing as an example, if the average person consumes one plastic bag (about 0.4 grams) per day, 4 tons of plastic bags will be thrown away every day, and the raw materials alone are worth 40,000 yuan. Small plastic bags are really harmful. We used to use reusable vegetable baskets and cloth bags for shopping. It is only in recent years that plastic bags have been widely used. We should restore the good traditions of the past. Young people in Germany are proud to carry cloth bags when shopping. Let us also follow this “green fashion”.
2 Try to take buses as much as possible
Residents of Los Angeles, USA, discovered in 1943 that there was a kind of white mist in the air, sometimes with a yellowish brown color, which irritated the human eyes. Painful and tearful, the haze got worse day by day, but it wasn't until 10 years later that the real culprit - the car - was found. Photochemical smog incidents occurred twice in Los Angeles in 1955 and 1970. In the former, more than 4,000 people died of facial poisoning and respiratory failure, and in the latter, 3/4 of the city's people became ill. Exhaust gases emitted by cars form photochemical smog under the strong sunlight from May to October every year, causing eye diseases, laryngitis and headaches. It also reduces atmospheric visibility and increases car accidents and plane crashes. Nowadays, the treatment of automobile exhaust gas has achieved considerable success, but the rapid growth in number makes automobiles still the main source of urban air pollution. According to reports, photochemical smog pollution has also occurred in some major cities in China in recent years. Not only that, the process of manufacturing cars also consumes natural resources and emits pollutants. Cars also produce noise and other hazards. Moreover, the increasing number of cars has put great pressure on urban traffic and caused traffic congestion. These are seriously troubling our lives, and one of the solutions is to take fewer cars and encourage taking buses.

Environmental protection is due to industrial development leading to environmental pollution The problem is too serious. It first attracted the attention of industrialized countries. National laws and regulations and public opinion propaganda were used to make the whole society pay attention to and deal with the pollution problem.
In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published a book called "Silent Spring", which explained the pollution and damage caused by the pesticide DDT to the environment. Due to the book's warning, the U.S. government began investigating the issue of highly toxic pesticides and established the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. States have also successively passed laws banning the production and use of highly toxic pesticides. Because of this incident, the book is considered the iconic starting point of 20th century environmental ecology.
Initiated by the United Nations from June 5 to 16, 1972, the "First United Nations Conference on the Human Environment" was held in Stockholm, Sweden, and the famous "Declaration on the Human Environment" was proposed, which was the official cause of environmental protection in the world. The beginning of governments paying attention to it. The Chinese government also participated in this meeting.
The environmental protection cause of the People's Republic of China also started in 1972. Beijing established the Guanting Reservoir Protection Office, and Hebei Province established the Three Wastes Treatment Office *** The same research and treatment is located in Guanting Reservoir The problem of pollution of the Guanting Reservoir by the Shacheng Pesticide Factory in Hebei Province led China to issue a law formally banning the production and use of DDT nationwide.
In 1973, the Environmental Protection Office under the State Construction Commission was established, which was later changed to the ministerial-level State Environmental Protection Administration directly under the State Council. After the "Two Sessions" in 2008, the State Environmental Protection Administration was upgraded to the "Ministry of Environmental Protection". and implement unified supervision and management of environmental protection across the country.
Provinces, cities, and districts have also established environmental protection bureaus and departments. An environmental reporting hotline 12369 and an online 12369 center have been set up to accept reports of environmental pollution incidents from the public.
The main responsibilities of the government's environmental protection department are to implement pollutant emission control policies formulated by parliaments at all levels (People's Congress), encourage the development of pollutant emission control technologies to control pollution, and protect and improve the environment. Environmental protection is extremely important in our lives. We must do our best to protect the environment!
The soil was damaged. Climate change and energy waste The greenhouse effect seriously threatens all mankind. Biological diversity decreases. Reduction in forest area. Freshwater resources are threatened. chemical pollution. air pollution.
Polar ozone hole resources and environment - the guarantee of human life
Since the birth of human beings, all food, clothing, production, and life have depended on the planet we live on, the atmosphere, forests, and oceans on the earth. , rivers, soil, grasslands, wild animals and plants, etc., form an intricate and closely related natural ecosystem. This is the basic environment for human survival. For a long time, human civilization has been stuck in the conquest and plunder of nature. , it seems that they have never thought of protecting and repaying the earth that nurtures mankind. While achieving brilliant civilization achievements, mankind's plunder of nature has left the planet we live on covered with scars. The growth of population and increase in production activities have also It has an impact on the environment and puts pressure on the environment.
As we all know, human beings rely on the natural environment as the material basis for survival and continuation. However, with the development of modern industry, the natural environment has suffered increasingly serious damage. Air pollution, water pollution, land pollution. . . . . . So much so that there is no more pure land in the world.
Perhaps you may think that the most important thing is to develop science and technology. After science and technology is developed, it is not too late to go environmentally friendly. Then you will regret it then. If we are now too intoxicated with our victory over nature and think we have achieved something remarkable, then we are not far from destruction
Climate warming, ozone hole, acid rain, toxic waste, The extinction of wildlife, as well as air and water pollution, are a series of global environmental problems we are currently facing. What should we do in the face of these problems?
Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment, but we are still just students and cannot make a particularly big contribution to the environment of all mankind, but we can start from the environment around us, starting from protecting the school environment To start with, for example: comply with the regulations prohibiting littering of all kinds of waste, throw waste into designated locations or containers, avoid using disposable drink cups, lunch boxes, plastic bags, and replace them with paper boxes, etc. This can Greatly reduce garbage, reduce the pressure of garbage disposal, take care of flowers, plants and trees, give fewer New Year cards, keep the campus clean, etc.
Although these are small things, as long as we all take action, work together, start by saving resources and reducing pollution, and adjust our lifestyles, we can make a contribution to protecting the earth.

May 31, 2003 is the theme of the 16th World No Tobacco Day: Smoke-free Movies, Smoke-free Fashion Actions
In 1977, the American Cancer Society first proposed a publicity and education method to control smoking-No Tobacco Day. On this day, the United States conducts nationwide publicity on "Smoking is harmful to health" to discourage smokers from smoking on that day. Stores stop selling tobacco products for one day. The United States designates the Thursday of the third week of November every year as its country's No Tobacco Day. Since then, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Hong Kong and other countries and regions have successively established no-smoking days
At the 39th World Health Assembly held in 1987, the World Health Organization made a resolution: decided in April 1988 The 7th is World No-Tobacco Day. Countries around the world are required to promote smoking cessation to the public. On this day, the public will not smoke and stores will not sell cigarettes. This resolution was supported by the majority of member states and achieved great success.
But because April 7 is the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization, on this day every year, the World Health Organization will propose a theme of health care requirements. In order not to interfere with its health theme, the World Health Organization decided to designate May 31st every year as World No Tobacco Day from 1989, and China also designated this day as China's No Tobacco Day.
May 31, 2006 is the 19th "World No-Tobacco Day". The World Health Organization once again warned people that "tobacco eats life." No matter what kind of cigarette it is, it is harmful to people. The human body is equally harmful.
Tobacco has been popular around the world for more than 200 years, but it was not until the 20th century that humans began to realize the harm of tobacco to humans. Since the 1950s, a large number of epidemiological studies worldwide have confirmed that smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer. In order to draw the international community's attention to the harm of tobacco to human health, the World Health Organization recommended in November 1987 that April 7 of each year be designated as "World No Tobacco Day", and its implementation began in 1988. Since 1989, World No Tobacco Day has been held on May 31 every year.
Cigarettes contain more than 1,400 ingredients.
There are more than 40 carcinogens in the smoke produced when smoking, as well as more than ten substances that can promote the development of cancer. Among them, the most harmful to the human body are nicotine, carbon monoxide and a variety of other metal compounds. One cigarette contains enough nicotine to kill a white mouse. The large amount of carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke has a binding capacity with hemoglobin that is 240-300 times greater than that of oxygen, severely weakening the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Therefore, smoking accelerates blood coagulation and can easily cause cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and myocardial hypoxia. disease. What's more serious is that smokers also seriously hinder the health of others. Research results show that smokers do more harm to others than themselves when they smoke.
Relevant medical research shows that smoking is a behavioral hazard factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases. Smoking has become the second global killer after hypertension. According to statistics, 5 million people worldwide die from smoking-related diseases every year. If left unchecked, this number will reach 10 million by 2020. Some data show that the incidence of lung cancer in long-term smokers is 10 to 20 times higher than that of non-smokers, the incidence of laryngeal cancer is 6 to 10 times higher, the incidence of coronary heart disease is 2 to 3 times higher, and the incidence of circulatory system is 3 times higher. The incidence rate of tracheal type is 2 to 8 times higher. Passive smoking is more harmful. An average of 1 hour of passive smoking per day is enough to damage arteries. Some women who live with smokers are 6 times more likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people. There are currently 1.3 billion smokers in the world, 900 million of whom are in developing countries. The number of smokers, especially young smokers, is increasing. There are approximately 350 million smokers in China. In 2002, the smoking rate among Chinese men was 66% and that among women was 3.08%. Smokers in China are becoming younger, with the number of teenagers smoking reaching 50 million. The survey shows that the number of young smokers around the world is increasing. Although the tobacco industry has always claimed that the employment and tax revenue brought by this industry have made a great contribution to the world economy, according to data provided by the World Health Organization, the tobacco industry’s contribution to the economy is far from enough to offset it. Losses caused to household expenses, public health, the environment and the national economy. Therefore, the World Health Organization lists the tobacco epidemic as the most serious public health problem in the world as a key control area. In May 2003, at the World Health Assembly held in Geneva, 192 member states of the World Health Organization unanimously adopted the first global treaty to restrict tobacco, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. In order to control the harm of tobacco globally,* **Provides a legal framework while safeguarding human health.
Controlling the harm of tobacco is a long-term, arduous and complex public health issue, and it is also a social and economic issue with strong policy implications. Therefore, the World Health Organization not only warns people that "tobacco eats life," but also requires governments to formulate strict regulations on the tobacco production industry and help people understand accurate information about the health hazards of smoking.
Environmental protection means human beings consciously protect natural resources and make reasonable use of them to prevent the natural environment from being polluted and damaged; comprehensively manage the polluted and damaged environment to create a suitable environment for the environment. Human living and working environment. Protecting the environment can make people's lives better.
The main contents include: (1) Preventing environmental pollution caused by production and living activities, including preventing and controlling the "three wastes" (waste water, waste gas, waste residue), dust, radioactive substances and generated emissions from industrial production Noise, vibration, odor and electromagnetic microwave radiation, harmful gases, liquids and noise generated by transportation activities, pollutants discharged from maritime ship transportation, toxic and harmful chemicals used in industrial and agricultural production and people's daily life, smoke and sewage discharged from urban life and pollution caused by garbage; (2) Prevent environmental damage caused by construction and development activities, including preventing environmental pollution and pollution caused by the construction of large water conservancy projects, highway trunk lines, large ports, airports, large industrial projects, etc. Destruction, damage and impact on the environment caused by agricultural reclamation and lake reclamation activities, development of offshore oil fields, coastal zones and swamplands, development of forests and mineral resources, damage and pollution on the environment caused by the setting up and construction of new industrial zones and new towns. .
(3) Protect natural environments of special value, including providing effective protection for rare species and their living environments, special natural development history relics, geological phenomena, landforms and landscapes, etc. In addition, urban and rural planning, controlling soil erosion and desertification, afforestation, controlling population growth and distribution, rational allocation of productivity, etc. are also included in environmental protection. Environmental protection has become one of the common actions and main tasks of governments and people around the world today. Our country has declared environmental protection as a basic national policy of our country, and has formulated and promulgated a series of environmental protection laws and regulations to ensure the implementation of this basic national policy. (4) Environmental pollution problems have occurred to varying degrees around the world. Aspects with global impact include atmospheric environmental pollution, ocean pollution, urban environmental problems, etc. With the globalization of economy and trade, environmental pollution has increasingly shown an international trend. The problem of transboundary transfer of hazardous wastes that has emerged in recent years is a prominent manifestation in this regard.
Edit this paragraph my country’s environmental problems
my country’s environmental problems are mainly manifested in: the amount of pollutant emissions is still quite large, far higher than the self-purification power of the environment; industrial pollution control tasks It is still quite heavy, and some places that have been treated have relapsed, and the proportion of urban domestic pollution has increased significantly; agricultural water quality and soil pollution have become increasingly prominent in many areas, and harmful residues in agricultural and sideline products in some places have exceeded standards, affecting human health and product exports; in some areas Soil erosion, desertification is still increasing, and so on. Overall, the deterioration of my country's ecological environment has been initially contained, and some areas have improved. However, the current environmental situation in my country is still quite severe and not optimistic. The severe environmental situation forces us to make a choice: sustainable development or self-destruction. There is no doubt that we should take effective measures to prevent and control environmental pollution and damage without delay. Otherwise, our deteriorating environment will overshadow all our achievements in other areas. Therefore, in advancing modernization, while maintaining sustained and rapid growth of the national economy, we must put environmental protection in a prominent position. We should realize that protecting and improving the environment is also protecting and developing productivity.

The initiation and development of international environmental protection
Environmental protection is due to the serious environmental pollution problem caused by industrial development, which first caused the industrialized countries to It arises from the emphasis on pollution, and uses national laws and regulations and public opinion propaganda to make the whole society pay attention to and deal with pollution problems. In 1963, American biologist Rachel Carson published a book called "Silent Spring", which explained the pollution and damaging effects of the pesticide DDT on the environment. Due to the book's Warning, the U.S. government began to investigate the issue of highly toxic pesticides and established the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970.

The "First Conference on the Human Environment" was held in Stockholm, Sweden, sponsored by the United Nations from June 5 to 16, 1972, setting the first milestone for human and international environmental protection. The Declaration on the Human Environment adopted at the conference is the first global international document to protect the environment in human history. It marks the birth of international environmental law. The International Environmental Education Conference held in Belgrade in 1975 issued the famous "Belgrade Charter", which clarified the purpose, goals, objects and guiding principles of environmental education. The first intergovernmental conference on environmental education was held in Tbilisi, the capital of the Soviet Union of Georgia in 1977. The conference issued the "Declaration of the Tbilisi Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education" and the "Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education". Conference Proposal" From December 7 to 18, 2009, the Copenhagen World Climate Conference was held at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Negotiators from 192 countries held a summit to discuss follow-up plans after the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol expires. , the global emissions reduction agreement from 2012 to 2020. This is another epoch-making global climate agreement after the Kyoto Protocol. There is no doubt that it will have a decisive impact on the future direction of climate change on the earth.
This is a meeting that has been hailed as "the last chance to save mankind." The meeting issued the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The beginning of China's environmental protection
China's environmental protection also started in 1972. Beijing established the Guanting Reservoir Protection Office, and Hebei Province established the Three Wastes Treatment Office*** The same study was conducted to deal with the problem of pollution of the Guanting Reservoir by the Shacheng pesticide factory located on the bank of the Guanting Reservoir in Hebei Province, which led to the promulgation of laws in China to formally ban the production and use of DDT nationwide. In 1973, the Environmental Protection Office under the State Construction Commission was established, which was later changed to the ministerial-level State Environmental Protection Administration directly under the State Council. All provinces, cities and districts have also established environmental protection bureaus.
The development of environmental protection in China
my country actively participates in international environmental protection and has concluded or participated in a series of environmental protection conventions, protocols and bilateral agreements, among which the main ones are: Framework Convention on Climate Change , the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and its amendments to that Protocol; the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, Especially Waterfowl Habitat, and its amendments to that Convention. South-East Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Agreement, International Tropical Timber Agreement; Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution Caused by the Dumping of Wastes and Other Materials; United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, on the 1973 International Protocol to the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1978, Protocol to Intervention on the High Seas when Pollution Caused by Substances Other than Oil, International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage; Prohibition on the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteria (organisms) Convention on and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction, Convention on the Substantive Protection of Nuclear Material, Convention on Assistance in the Event of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency, Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident, Prohibition of the Placement of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction on the Seabed, Ocean Bed and Its Subsoil Treaty; The main responsibility of the government's environmental protection department is to implement pollutant emission control policies formulated by parliaments at all levels (People's Congress), encourage the development of pollutant emission control technology to control pollution, protect and improve the environment.

The waters of rivers, lakes and reservoirs are generally polluted to varying degrees. Except for some inland rivers and large reservoirs, pollution has become more and more serious. The pollution of waters near industrially developed towns is particularly prominent. 4. Among the seven major river systems (Pearl River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Hailuan River, Liaohe River, and Songhua River), the water pollution in the Yellow River Basin, Songhua River, and Liaohe River Basin is serious. 5. Large freshwater lakes have widespread total phosphorus and total nitrogen pollution and serious eutrophication. 6. Among the four sea areas, the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea are more polluted, while the South China Sea is less polluted. 7. The deterioration of the ecological environment in fishery waters has not fundamentally changed and is showing an increasing trend. 8. Urban environmental pollution is increasing. 9. Urban surface water pollution is generally serious and showing a worsening trend. Most rivers are polluted to varying degrees. 10. Two-thirds of the country’s rivers and more than 10 million hectares of farmland are polluted.
