The government adheres to the bottom-line thinking "green scale" to measure the development of Zhejiang

  The world has changed a lot, and only by following the trend can we achieve stability and long-term success.

Analyzing the development of Zhejiang, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the income gap between urban and rural residents in Zhejiang has shrunk from 2.07 times to 1.96 times.

"Pockets" do not become rich at the expense of the environment. The Zhejiang government believes that a good ecological environment is an inherent requirement for economic development, and environmental protection must establish a bottom-line thinking.

  "Common prosperity not only lies in the'pocket' and'heads' of the masses of the people to become rich, but also to be beautiful with the ecological environment with a community of destiny on which we live." Said Shan Jinyan, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment .

  It is reported that Zhejiang takes the lead in the country to complete the "three lines and one order" full coverage of the three levels of provinces, cities and counties.

"Three lines and one order" refers to the red line of ecological protection, the bottom line of environmental quality, the online resource utilization, and the list of ecological environment access.

  Explore the establishment of a normalized GEP accounting and assessment system with Zhejiang characteristics, innovate ecological compensation mechanisms, focus on cultivating and developing ecological products and ecological asset trading markets, and build a comprehensive ecological environment perception system for the entire field... In recent years, Zhejiang has been in the field of ecological environment The "green ruler" is getting better and better.

  With the "green ruler", how to implement the "green standard"?

  "Zhejiang is committed to building the country's most stringent environmental law enforcement province. We have been fulfilling the strictest commitments with zero tolerance and strict investigation and punishment." Shan Jinyan introduced, especially in 2020, the "Zhejiang Ecological Environment Violation Report" After the "Incentive Measures", the maximum amount of heavy awards reached 500,000 yuan, and a single maximum bonus of 300,000 yuan has been issued, effectively stimulating the enthusiasm of the whole society to jointly discover and investigate environmental problems, forming a situation of joint management and good environmental order.

People dare to break inside and stand from "seeking for survival" to "seeking for ecology"

  If the government only insists on the bottom-line thinking and sets a "green scale", then on the road of "beautiful and rich in the people", it will only be eager to shave its head.

However, looking back on the road to green development, the people of Zhejiang dared to stand up from the inside. From "seeking for survival" to "seeking for ecology", they have steadily embarked on a road of "beauty and wealth".

  "Houses with earth walls, food for half a year, there are women who will not marry Jiang Lang."

Located in Xiajiang Village, Fengshuling Town, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, where traffic was blocked in the past, it was once a well-known poor village.

The Xiajiang people, eager to get rid of poverty, even cut the mountain bald at all costs.

“At most, more than 40 charcoal earthen kilns were fired at the same time, and a large number of trees were chopped down for kiln burning. In just a few years, more than 6000 acres of woods were gone, and the mountains became diarrhea.” A villager in Xiajiang Village Reminisce about the villages once in this way.

  As the mountain and forest resources in the village are dwindling, Xiajiang Village has become dirty and smelly due to pig raising, and the development of the village has also fallen into difficulties.

  Wanting to get rid of poverty, wanting to be prosperous, but also wanting green water and green mountains, this is the year-on-year wish of the villagers in Xiajiang Village.

  At the beginning of the 21st century, with the strong support of the local government, the villagers in Xiajiang Village built a biogas digester and renovated the kitchen, toilets, pig pens and biogas digesters, making it a well-known "biogas ecological demonstration village".

Xiajiang Village also strives to improve ecology and develop organic agriculture. In the village, hundreds of acres of greenhouses are planted with high-quality grapes and strawberries. Tea, peaches and yellow gardenias are also planted in streams and ravines. Flowers bloom continuously throughout the year. Fragrance...

  After years of efforts in greening the environment and living environment in the village, now in Xiajiang Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fresh air, the local area relies on high-quality environmental resources to develop tourism and homestay industry, etc., a road to prosperity has been laid out.

Statistics show that in 2020, Xiajiang Village will receive nearly 770,000 tourists and realize tourism income of 46.26 million yuan.

  Today, Xiajiang Village and 24 surrounding villages form the "Big Xiajiang" Village Consortium.

Based on the resource endowments and industrial foundations of different regions, the "Daxiajiang" consortium has planned respective industrial belts with their own characteristics and complementary to each other, and registered the "Daxiajiang" unified brand.

In the first half of this year, the collective economic income of the "Daxiajiang" increased by nearly 44% year-on-year, and the gap between strong and weak villages has gradually narrowed.

  Zhejiang is not born with "green, rich and beautiful". Its transformation is the flower of the "two-way rush" of the Zhejiang government and the people of Zhejiang on the idea of ​​getting rich.

  Wang Tonglin, director of the Department of Agriculture of Zhejiang Province, told reporters that with the extensive support of the people of Zhejiang, Zhejiang is cultivating hundreds of demonstration belts for common prosperity in beautiful rural areas in the new era, promoting the "big ginger" rural unity and common prosperity model, and promoting the regionalization of rural areas. Group-style development to realize the beauty of the scenery and the prosperity of each other, and the promotion of prosperity everywhere.

Everyone conveys the ecological concept and draws a good picture of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" in the new era

  A good ecological environment is the most inclusive people's livelihood and welfare.

In Zhejiang, this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the atmosphere of co-construction and sharing of ecological civilization is strong.

  "Moso bamboo is very useful. It not only purifies the air, but can also be made into bamboo baskets, bamboo frames, etc., so bamboo gardens are my family's "green bank"." "Water is a precious resource for mankind, please don't let wells The water has become dirty."...The above text comes from the school newspaper "Green Tomorrow" of the Central Primary School in Xialu Town, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City.

From the yellowed paper to the fresh ink, there is a trace of "green" in the same vein.

  In 1997, "Green Tomorrow" was founded on the 6th Five-Year World Environment Day.

One year later, the local textbook "Ecological Construction Reader" was published, integrating green education into various disciplines.

In 1999, the experimental project "Ecological Environment Education Curriculum Model Reform" won the first prize of Zhejiang Province's First Basic Education Teaching Achievement Award...

  Not only in schools, the Zhejiang Ecological Environment Department selects a batch of provincial-level ecological civilization education bases every year, relying on the platforms of ecological civilization education bases and green schools to integrate the awareness of ecological civilization into people's lives.

  Up to now, the Zhejiang Ecological Environment Department has selected 210 provincial-level ecological civilization education bases and 1,822 provincial-level green schools, and promoted the regular opening of environmental protection facilities of more than 200 units to the public. The cumulative number of openings has reached more than 2,000. The number of visitors has exceeded 100,000.

  "I pledged 520 yuan this time, and I want to express my love for my hometown through this special number." In Qingyuan County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, the concept of ecological protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Wu Yong, a local village sage, participated in the seedling donation activity "I Bring Green to the National Park" in February this year.

Many Qingyuan people who care about the ecology of their hometown like him actively participate in seedling pledges.

At present, more than 1.3 million yuan of funds have been raised for the event, which will be used for tree planting and ecological restoration.

  "People live up to the green hills, and green hills will live up to others."

Good ecology has brought new development opportunities to Qingyuan.

  Lin Chenglong is an overseas Chinese in Spain and his wife is from Qingyuan. When he first came to Qingyuan, an ecological county with his wife, he was attracted by the ecological scenery here.

In 2018, under the guidance of Qingyuan's investment promotion policy, he decided to build the Qi Garden Ecological Health Experience Zone in Qingyuan, with a total investment of 80.55 million yuan.

  From "Green Zhejiang" to "Ecological Zhejiang", and then to "Beautiful Zhejiang", Zhejiang insists on drawing a blueprint to the end, and integrates the construction of ecological civilization into the overall economic and social development. Zhejiang follows the path of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". Going forward, we are doing our utmost to complete the high-level strategic goal of drawing the "Fuchun Mountain Living Picture" in the new era.

  "To build a demonstration zone for common prosperity is to take the lead in showing the basic picture of a common prosperity and a beautiful society in the land of Zhejiang, so that the people can truly feel that common prosperity is visible, tangible, and true, and Zhejiang's pioneering exploration is the promotion of the country. Find the way for common prosperity." Yuan Jiajun, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, said.
