With the convening of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress imminent, what topics and explanations do the public care about?
Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, biodiversity conservation, green lifestyle, environmental education...... What are the topics that the public is most concerned about in the field of ecology and environment?
The 2024 National People's Congress and the National People's Congress are about to be held, and the reporter took to the streets with these keywords in the field of ecological environment, randomly interviewed different groups such as citizens, tourists, teachers and students of colleges and universities, and listened to what topics they care about.
The popularity of "dual carbon" has not decreased, and green travel has attracted considerable attention
In last year's two sessions, "double carbon" was a hot topic, and this year, "double carbon" is still one of the key topics of public concern."Energy transition" and "low-carbon travel" have also become high-frequency words in everyone's mouth.
Zhang, a doctoral student from the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University, shared his understanding of the "double carbon" in architectural design based on his own major, "We must carry out strong planning and supervision of its carbon emissions in the process of architectural design and planning, and track and review its carbon emissions in the entire process of building operation and use. ”
At present, "carbon reduction" in new things has also attracted the attention of students. One student said, "I pay more attention to the integration of storage and computing and the improvement of computing power, which breaks through the traditional von Neumann structure and can greatly improve computing efficiency, and in my opinion, it is also a kind of green energy transition." ”
In an interview with reporters, many citizens said that they would choose some low-carbon behaviors within their ability in their lives to help achieve the "double carbon" goal.
Yang Xinmiao, deputy director of Tsinghua University's Institute of Transportation, said, "I used to drive to and from work for more than a decade, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with commuting by car. But in the last seven or eight years, I've learned that commuting by bike is also a pleasant way to commute. It has taken me nearly 20 years to change the green lifestyle, and I hope that the deputies and members of the two sessions will also pay more attention to the green lifestyle, so that more than one billion people can understand this change in a faster way. At present, Beijing has done a good job in the construction of bicycle roads, and we hope that more people will use it, such as riding lightweight power-assisted bicycles. Here, we also call on the representatives of the two sessions to pay attention to and support. ”
Ms. Sun, who lives in Haidian District, told reporters: "In our daily life, my colleagues and I try to choose low-carbon travel methods such as walking and cycling. While riding, you can not only feel the beauty of sunshine and nature, but also contribute to environmental protection. However, retrograde, parallel, and occupying sidewalks still occur, and it is hoped that the representatives and members of the two sessions can pay attention to the topic of civilized riding, and the relevant departments can increase supervision and jointly create a good riding environment. ”
Care about public space, resource utilization, etcThings around you
Breathe in the fresh air and look up at the clear blue sky with the clear river at your side...... A good ecological environment is the fairest public good, the most inclusive people's livelihood and well-being, and the basic demand of the masses for the living environment. Therefore, the topic of environmental pollution control is also a general concern of the public.
Li, a student from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, told reporters: "As an ordinary person, I am more concerned about some environmental data near my home, such as water pollution, soil pollution or air pollution. I hope that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will make more environmental monitoring data public, so that ordinary people can more intuitively feel the improvement of the ecological environment at their doorstep. ”
In addition to college students, a primary school student from Wuhan is also concerned about the topic of environmental pollution control, "I noticed that the buses in Wuhan were basically oil trucks, but now all of them have been changed to new energy trams, which are relatively clean, and it reduces the pollution caused by exhaust emissions to the urban atmospheric environment."
Mr. Wang, a tourist from Hebei Province, said: "The city I live in is a tourist city with a sea area, and its own water resources are not abundant, so it has been developed as properly as possible." I am more concerned about the use of marine resources, and in the process of tourism development, we should consider how to rationally develop the existing ecological environment, rationally use public space, and avoid over-development. ”
On the same topic of urban green space, another citizen believes that "how to make better use of public space in the concept of urban greening is a problem that needs to be considered comprehensively, and we need to borrow a variety of new scientific and technological concepts." ”
The topic of "education + nature" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
In recent years, with the growing public interest in addressing climate change and biodiversity, environmental education has gradually been incorporated into the school curriculum in more and more regions, and students' desire to be close to nature has also deepened.
"I'm in the second grade, and I like bunnies, they're very cute!" "I often participate in some popular science activities at school, and the teacher will take us to visit the zoo. "Teachers often tell us in class to protect nature, to save water, to use public transport. ”
At the entrance of a primary school, students excitedly shared their environmental knowledge taught by their teachers. A primary school student said: "In addition to the spring and autumn outings, I hope the school can organize more of us to go out of the campus and take a look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to broaden our horizons." ”
Another student hopes to have more opportunities to get in touch with small animals, "I hope that the school can open more courses on animal protection, or often take us to parks and animal protection bases, I want to know more rare and protected animals that I don't usually see." ”
Only by truly going into nature can we stimulate children's love for nature and interest in environmental protection. A mother who came to Beijing with her children told reporters, "I hope that the deputies and committee members can pay more attention to the topics of environmental education and nature education, and the school can carry out more professional courses close to nature, so that children can establish environmental awareness of protecting nature from an early age and cultivate a fresh force for ecological environmental protection." ”
On university campuses, disciplines such as "environmental science" have become more and more "popular" in recent years. In addition to the students from the academic class, the reporter found in the interview that some non-environmental science students are also interested in this subject. "As a non-environmental major, I hope that more such electives can be offered in the university for students to choose to study. A college student said.
