Spring returns to the earth, and all things are renewed.
On the morning of March 30, Party and state leaders Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, Han Zheng, Wang Qishan and others took a collective bus to the tree-planting site in Huangcun Town, Daxing District, Beijing. Participate in voluntary tree planting together.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has participated in the voluntary tree planting activities in the capital for 10 consecutive years, and has repeatedly talked about the great significance of afforestation.
Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, the whole party and the whole people are striving for the beautiful dream of building a green home.
What is planted is not only green saplings, but also the bright future of the motherland

This year's tree-planting site is located in the Daxing New City Urban Leisure Park. He shovels and shovels soil, builds soil cofferdams, and lifts water for irrigation... Xi Jinping successively planted many saplings such as Pinus tabulaeformis, Peach, Magnolia, Begonia, and Ashwagandha.
With a shovel of soil, what is planted is not only a sapling, but also the hope of ecological civilization.
A bucket of water not only waters the soil, but also the dream of a beautiful China.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has regarded the construction of ecological civilization as an important part of promoting the overall layout of the "five-in-one" and the strategic layout of the "four comprehensives". Land greening is an important part of ecological civilization. aspects are highly valued.
The establishment of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, the issuance of "Several Opinions on Strengthening Grassland Protection and Restoration"... A series of actions escorted the protection of the green background.
From a tree to a forest, the pace of tree planting and greening is unwavering from generation to generation.
Youyu County, Shanxi Province, located on the edge of the Mu Us Desert, was once plagued by sandstorms and barren mountains.

People in Saihanba Forest Farm have insisted on planting trees for many years, turning this place from a vast wasteland covered by yellow sand to a "green pearl" with millions of acres of artificial forests.
At the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the three generations of employees of the Babu Sand Forest Farm, represented by the "six old men" for 40 years, have continued to work hard, writing a green chapter from "sand forces people to retreat" to "people enter the sand and retreat".
The green waters meander away, and the green mountains open towards each other.
China's forest coverage rate has gradually increased, and afforestation and forestry development have become important aspects of my country's ecological civilization construction.
"Promoting the construction of ecological civilization is inseparable from the greening of the land. Forests play an irreplaceable role in regulating climate, protecting farmland, conserving water sources, preventing soil erosion, purifying air, and preventing and controlling desertification." Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Counselor of the State Council, Yang Zhongqi, chief expert of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, said in an interview with People's Daily Online, "In recent years, with the enhancement of my country's awareness of protecting the ecological environment, people's understanding of the ecological functions of forests has also been further improved. Today, the effectiveness of forest protection has gradually increased. appear."
Protecting not only lucid waters and lush mountains, but also new development opportunities

When participating in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation at the Second Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress, Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to explore a new way of high-quality development with ecological priority and green development as the orientation.
Green is an indispensable part of the new development concept.
Since the 1970s, mining has been carried out in Yu Village, Anji County, Zhejiang Province, and the environment has been severely damaged.
Under the guidance of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Yucun started to rectify the village appearance with muddy roads and rubbish.
Changes in a village can reflect changes in a country.
In recent years, all localities have persevered in solving outstanding ecological and environmental problems, exploring new ways of high-quality development oriented by ecological priority and green development, and making a good ecological environment a growth point for a better life and economic development.
Green is an important part of the happy life of hundreds of millions of people.
It used to be "hope for food and clothing", but now it is "hope for environmental protection".
With the improvement of people's living standards and improvement of living conditions, the proportion of ecological environment in the minds of the masses is constantly increasing.
In the 1990s, the per capita public green space in Shanghai was only about 1.11 square meters, slightly larger than a newspaper.
The latest data shows that the city's per capita public green space has increased to 8.5 square meters of "one room".
In many places, exquisite street corner parks and lush and fresh landscape forests have replaced the cluttered and illegal buildings in the past, making people feel more comfortable in the "ecological blank".
A good life is never limited to the economy, but also to a comfortable living environment and inclusive ecological products.
If the ecology continues to improve, development will have stamina, and a happy life and sustainable development will have more support.
It is not only a green home, but also the common hope of mankind
The construction of ecological civilization is related to the future of mankind, and building a green home is the common dream of mankind.
China's green actions are having a huge positive boost around the world.
From promoting the implementation of the Paris Agreement to the establishment of the South-South Cooperation Fund for Climate Change, from launching the “Belt and Road” Green Development International Alliance, to incorporating the green development cooperation plan into the “Eight Actions” between China and Africa, China has carried out environmental protection efforts with other countries around the world. Exchanges and cooperation have formed a multi-level, multi-channel and multi-field cooperation situation.
Xi Jinping pointed out at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly that China will increase its nationally determined contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. .
There is China's commitment, and there is more China's responsibility and China's action.
At the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, low-light torches, hydrogen energy buses, and "green electricity" supply, green and low-carbon have become a highlight.
"Light up Beijing's lights with the wind of Zhangbei".
Much of Beijing's clean energy comes from Zhangjiakou.
In the future, the northern Hebei region will also transmit electricity to the capital Beijing every year, providing about 20% of Beijing's annual electricity load.
As an emerging "country on wheels", my country's new energy vehicle production and sales will exceed 3.5 million in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times.
Not only in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, third- and fourth-tier cities and even in rural areas, the classification of domestic waste is becoming a new trend in life.
It is necessary to do a good job in the "subtraction" of carbon emissions and the addition of "green expansion".
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has completed afforestation of 960 million mu.
The forest coverage rate increased by 2.68 percentage points to 23.04%; the total carbon storage of forest vegetation increased by 1.375 billion tons, reaching 9.2 billion tons.
"Under the guidance of the 'double carbon' goal, the carbon sink value of forests will become more prominent. While continuing to carry out forestry ecological projects, we should effectively strengthen the tending, management and management of existing forests, and implement forest quality improvement projects. Greatly increase the forest carbon sink capacity." Yang Zhongqi said.
On April 2, 2013, Xi Jinping and other party and state leaders came to the Yongding River in Fengtai District, Beijing to participate in the capital's voluntary tree planting activities.

People planted trees.
Xi Jinping said the true meaning: "To participate in voluntary tree planting together is to advocate the civilized fashion of everyone loving greenery and protecting greenery, so that everyone can establish a sense of responsibility for planting trees and greening the motherland, and form a conscious action of the whole society to jointly build people. A beautiful home in harmony with nature.”
