What is the meaning and content of ecological civilization?

Ecological civilization is the sum total of material and spiritual achievements made by human beings following the objective law of harmonious development of man, nature and society.

The first is the cultural values of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. It is necessary to establish a cultural value appeal that conforms to the laws of natural ecology and realize that nature is the support of human life, and the extinction of nature will inevitably lead to the extinction of human life system. Respecting and caring for life is not the charity of human beings to other creatures, but the need of human progress, which promotes the love for nature to a universal feeling and inner spiritual belief different from anthropocentrism.

The second is the concept of production under the premise of sustainable ecosystem. Following the principle that the ecosystem is limited, flexible and unpredictable, human production and labor should save and comprehensively utilize natural resources, form an ecological industry system, and make the ecological industry the main source of economic growth. The production of material products has the least consumption of resources and energy, the least impact on the environment and the highest recovery rate in the whole life cycle from the exploitation, manufacture, use and abandonment of raw materials.

The third is the consumption concept of satisfying one's own needs without harming nature. Advocate a "limited happiness" lifestyle. What people pursue is no longer the excessive enjoyment of material wealth, but a life that meets their own needs without harming nature, and meets the needs of contemporary people without harming the needs of future generations. This morality of fairness and enjoyment has become the criterion of harmonious development between man and nature and between people.
