Why is Ecological Day August 15?

The establishment of August 15 every year as the national ecological day reflects the initiative, symbolism, uniqueness and distinctive recognition.

August 15 was designated as National Ecological Day, and the state carried out publicity and education activities on ecological civilization through various forms. On June 28th, the draft was deliberated and adopted at the third meeting in the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). At this point, China has its own unique ecological protection anniversary. Entrusted by the State Council, Vice Minister of National Development pointed out that the scientific conclusion that "clear water and lush mountains are priceless wealth" was put forward for the first time on August 15, 2005.

This thesis is the core idea. Setting August 15 as national ecological day is more in line with the basic principle of determining the time of memorial day and activity day, and can fully reflect the initiative, symbolism and uniqueness. During the interview, many CPPCC members pointed out that the establishment of National Ecological Day means that China has taken an important step in the construction of ecological civilization, and it also shows that the country always attaches great importance to the protection of ecological environment. And pay close attention to the future green development.

Architectural model

It is not only a sign, but also a driving force. It is expected that National Ecological Day will form a big pattern of ecological civilization construction with the participation and action of the whole society. Behind the establishment of the first ecological day, it was the painstaking result of Anji County. As early as 1976, Yucun started mining and set up its own cement plant. The villagers' pockets are bulging, but the village is not beautiful. 65438-0998, Anji received a yellow card warning of "zero action" in Taihu Lake pollution control issued by the State Council.

This is not the way out. 200 1 Anji county put forward a brand-new development idea of eco-county, and abandoned the development model of destroying first and then restoring. Close mines one after another, eliminate heavily polluting enterprises and encourage the development of leisure tourism. By promoting environmental improvement, Yucun has completed the restoration of Shantang Reservoir and the construction of ecological rivers, and achieved "garbage does not fall to the ground" and full coverage of beautiful courtyards. The improvement of the environment has brought more tourists and employment opportunities to local villagers at their doorsteps, and everyone has tasted the sweetness of green development.
