The relaxation of the policy on straw burning has triggered different reactions, some people laugh and some tears!
The history of stubble burning and the background of the burning ban.
Straw burning as a method of disposing of crop residues can be traced back to ancient agrarian societies. In the absence of modern agricultural machinery and processing equipment, farmers often choose to burn straw. However, with the development of society and the increasing prominence of environmental problems, the negative impact of straw burning has received widespread attention. The ban on straw burning does not originate from a single source, but is the result of the joint efforts of many environmental organizations, scientists, institutions and social activists. This is a global issue, with concerns and objections raised by different countries and regions.
Reasons for the ban on straw burning and the problems caused by straw burning.
Straw burning produces a large number of harmful gases and particles, which seriously affects air quality and poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. Every autumn, rural areas tend to be shrouded in smog, with reduced air quality and increased health risks. In addition, burning straw poses a fire hazard and poses a safety hazard to passing vehicles. Because of these problems, it is imperative to ban straw burning.
International straw treatment methods and China's countermeasures.
Different countries have adopted different straw processing methods, and the utilization of straw resources has become the focus. In the U.S., straw is being used on a global scale by converting straw into fibrous materials, reducing dependence on traditional raw materials and reducing environmental pollution. In Japan, straw is converted into organic fertilizer through composting, which increases soil fertility and promotes crop growth. India, on the other hand, has reduced the deforestation of natural forests and protected the environment by converting straw into fuel through biomass fuels and briquetting technology. European countries have adopted bioenergy plant technology to convert straw into biogas, realizing the efficient use of straw.
In China, the implementation of the straw burning ban has turned straw from waste into a valuable organic resource. Hubei Province has actively promoted the utilization of straw resources through the construction of biomass power stations and the research and development of straw products. Biomass power plants use straw to generate electricity, which not only solves the problem of local energy demand, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the promotion of straw products has also brought new opportunities for the development of the rural economy and employment.
The pros and cons of fully liberalizing straw burning.
The benefits of fully liberalizing straw burning can be exploited. In terms of economic development, straw can be converted into energy or organic fertilizer according to its characteristics and special treatment methods, so as to bring new growth points to the rural economy and create employment opportunities. At the same time, the full liberalization of straw burning will also help promote the sustainable development of agriculture, realize resource recycling, and improve soil quality and crop yields.
However, we cannot ignore the environmental concerns and health risks associated with the full liberalization of straw burning. Burning straw produces a large number of harmful gases and particulate matter, which exacerbates air pollution and threatens human health. In addition, burning straw increases the risk of fire and poses a safety hazard to passing vehicles.
To sum up, the full liberalization of straw burning has certain benefits for economic development and sustainable agricultural development, but it also has a non-negligible impact on environmental and health issues. Therefore, when considering the full liberalization of straw burning, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of all aspects and seek a more comprehensive, balanced and sustainable treatment method and utilization plan.
