Original title: Everyone's participation in planting trees makes Chongqing greener
A report from our newspaper (by Yang Fan and Zhang Jun): The spring breeze is like rain, and the riverside is busy planting green. On March 19, Chen Miner, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Tang Liangzhi, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, Zhang Xuan, Director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, and Wang Jiong, Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference came to Guangyangwan, Nan'an District, to participate in the voluntary tree planting activity in 2021, and join hands with cadres and the masses to add new green to the beautiful land with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Wu Cunrong, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and Vice Mayor of the Municipal Government attended.
On the bank of the Yangtze River in spring, trees are shaded and grass is luxuriant. Guangyang Bay, across the river from Guangyang Island, presents a unique river bay style. Chen Miner, Tang Liangzhi, Zhang Xuan, Wang Jiong and others came here to carefully understand the new progress made in the construction of Guangyang Island Smart Innovation Eco City, and listen to the report on the construction of "Green Mountains on Both Sides of the Yangtze River · Thousand li Forest Belt" in Chongqing. In recent years, the ecological restoration of Guangyang Island has been carried out in an orderly manner, including mountain restoration, water restoration, vegetation planting, etc., and the ecological environment of the area has been significantly improved. The beautiful picture of "Yangtze River Scenic Spot, Chongqing Ecological Island" is slowly unfolding. Chen Miner listened carefully to the introduction and inquired in detail about the planning and design, spatial layout, and progress of key projects of Guangyang Island Smart Innovation Eco City, so as to understand the effects of environmental protection and ecological construction. He said that Guangyang Island is a beautiful card for our city to build a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. To plan and build an intelligent innovation ecological city, we should highlight the ecological theme, highlight the intelligent characteristics, improve the supporting functions, continue to focus on the ecological protection and restoration of the area, and make the beautiful ecology better serve the people's quality of life.
Later, Chen Miner, Tang Liangzhi, Zhang Xuan, Wang Jiong and others came to the tree planting site with shovels in their hands, shoveled soil, supported seedlings, filled pits, and carried water for irrigation, and planted seedlings such as yellow kudzu, red leaf heather, red maple, camphor, and metasequoia. In the warm spring breeze, the tree planting scene was in full swing, with many saplings standing in the wind. While planting seedlings, Chen Miner asked about the soil moisture along the Yangtze River, suitable tree species, tree planting area, etc., to understand the progress of land greening and afforestation in the city, and the implementation of this year's Arbor Day activities. He told the relevant departments to do a good job in the follow-up management and protection of seedlings, so that small trees can grow into big trees, adding green and color to the ecology of the Yangtze River.
Chen Miner said that ecological environment protection is "the biggest one in the country", and General Secretary Xi Jinping is thinking about it. This year is the 40th anniversary of the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign, and also the year when our city launched the construction of "Green Mountains on both sides of the Straits, a thousand mile forest belt". The whole city should deeply learn from Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, resolutely implement the policy of "jointly focusing on major protection and not engaging in major development", firmly establish the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, persevere in land greening, implement afforestation projects according to local conditions, and continuously improve the overall quality of the natural ecosystem in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is necessary to effectively improve the comprehensive benefits of afforestation, enhance the ecological functions of forestry in water conservation, carbon fixation and oxygen release, tap multiple values of forestry, increase the added value of forestry economy, and truly plant trees for the people and benefit the people. We should give full play to the institutional advantages of the whole people's greening, adhere to the leadership, everyone's participation, and make use of the great spring scenery to jointly build a green home, so that the land of Chongqing is more green, and the beautiful scenery of the river and the green mountains on both sides will last forever.
Heads of relevant departments of Nan'an District and Nan'an City attended.
