Ningbo, China, July 17 (reporter Cao Meili) In order to encourage all localities to enhance environmental awareness and accelerate ecological construction, the Ministry of Environmental Protection annually selects a number of towns with good ecology and clean environment as national ecological towns. However, in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, after some towns were rated as ecological towns, the ecological environment not only did not improve, but the phenomenon of pollution rebound appeared, and the masses strongly reflected this. Why is the ecological town not ecological?

In 2004 was named Ningbo Ecological Town, in 2006 was named Zhejiang ecological town, and in 2011 was named China township with beautiful environment, that is, national ecological town, which is a series of honors Guanhaiwei Town of Cixi City, Ningbo in recent years in terms of ecological creation. However, when you walk into Guanhaiwei town, you will find that the main roads here are dirty and disorderly on both sides, the river is stinky and black, and the air is often filled with a stench of burnt plastic. At the town's garbage transfer station, there have been at least five fires in the past two years due to the serious phenomenon of waste plastic waste being stolen, and people have been complaining about this.

Common people: This industrial park feels the pungent smell is more serious every morning and night. It smells even when it is not burned. Dioxins are produced when plastic is burned.

A driver who has been transporting waste plastic waste for a long time told reporters that there are thousands of waste plastic processors in the town, which has caused a lot of pollution and has been rectified in recent years.

Driver: Guanhaiwei town has the most plastic, waste plastic. It's all individuals. It's all small businesses. A family to Shanghai waste plastic pulled out, the good picked out, the bad poured here, pollution is definitely pollution. Thousands of homes are in control of ah, remove violations ah, how many violations ah remove.

From Guanhaiwei town to the northwest about more than 40 kilometers, is the Ningbo Yuyao City of Xiaocao E town and Huangjiabu town. These two towns are ecological towns in Zhejiang Province. But in the two towns next to the Hangzhou Bay beach, sewage pipe discharge brown wastewater, is flowing into the Hangzhou Bay, the beach shellfish, fish and shrimp disappeared, the air filled with a suffocating stench, this is pickled mustard wastewater, without any treatment, has been discharged into the sea for more than 20 years.

This pickle water is really difficult to treat, the salt is too high. The COD concentration is also high. There is no breeding in this beach now, not long ago, you see, it has gradually grown grass.

Ecological town is not ecological, which is the problem found in the recent inspection of Ningbo Ecological Office. Xu Changcheng, director of Ningbo's environmental protection Bureau, called mayors of six of the towns with serious problems and warned them.

Xu Changcheng: There are three main problems. One is that the leaders do not pay attention to them; The second indicator is not consistent, the indicators created at the time have gradually drifted away from the current evaluation; The third is that people's complaints reflect more and more, and people's perception of ecological towns is becoming more and more distant.

In 2003, Ningbo City decided to build an ecological city. The grass-roots towns are enthusiastic about this and actively apply for ecological towns.

In order to get the brand of ecological towns, it is necessary to meet certain hardware and software standards, and pass the layers of checks and acceptance. Therefore, the process of creation is regarded as an overall improvement of the local ecological environment construction, and it is also a kind of encouragement and spur. But why do some local governments relax their ecological requirements after the brand of eco-town is in hand? Xu Changcheng, director of the Ningbo Environmental Protection Bureau, said the root cause is also the influence of the GDP baton, which has played its role in the ranking of leading officials alone.

Of the six townships in Ningbo that were warned this time, most are economically developed central towns. Because of their outstanding economic contributions, the main leaders are of a higher rank than other towns and townships, and the supervision of the county-level environmental protection bureau becomes the supervision of the lower level and the higher level, which is obviously difficult.

Xu Changcheng: The environmental protection Bureau is a government department, and the Party secretary of the central town is like the Party secretary of Guanhaiwei Town is a standing Committee ah, Cixi Municipal Committee, now the central town after the high level of local environmental protection departments in the performance of their duties in helplessness and embarrassment, after he spoke to you face to face.

However, such an embarrassing situation will be less and less in the future. Liu Qi, party secretary of Ningbo, recently made it clear that environmental protection should be as important as work safety, and ecological construction should be as important as economic development. Ningbo has set up an eco-town withdrawal mechanism, which will not only delist towns that fail to meet the standards, but also affect the assessment of key leading cadres.
