Let's clean the village
Rural revitalization and ecological livability are the key. The village cleaning action focuses on the village environmental sanitation problems that the farmers are most concerned about, the most realistic and the most urgent to solve, starting from the small things around the people, continuously enhancing the sense of happiness of hundreds of millions of farmers, and driving the improvement of the appearance of the village. Why do we want to carry out the "three clearances and one reform", how to do a good job of "three bags in front of the door", and how can farmers better participate in the village cleaning action, let's listen to what Zhang Mingming, a researcher and chief expert of the Chengdu Biogas Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said.
Q
What is "Three Clearances and One Reform"?
A
"Three clean-ups and one reform" refers to cleaning up rural domestic garbage, cleaning up ponds and ditches in the village, cleaning up agricultural production wastes such as livestock and poultry manure, and changing the bad habits that affect the rural living environment.
Q
Why did the village clean-up action carry out "three clean-ups and one reform"?
A
The village is a place where farmers live for a long time, and the pollution of the village environment will affect the health of farmers, and there are pathogens in garbage and sewage, which will lead to trachoma and gastrointestinal diseases.
Not only that, living in a poor environment for a long time can also lead to depression and anger, which can affect family harmony and neighborhood relations.
Q
What is the significance of carrying out the "three cleanups and one reform"?
A
Farmers are the beneficiaries of improving the living environment, and have accumulated a very rich local knowledge for a long time, and farmers tidy up the space in front of and behind the house, in the courtyard to develop production, and use manure to irrigate the land, which is the indispensable wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
Moreover, farmers know their own needs and understand the resources they have, and can achieve the improvement goal at a lower cost, which is an important means to improve the rural living environment in a sustainable way.
Farmers are the victims of environmental pollution in villages, the beneficiaries and participants in improving the living environment, the inheritors of agricultural civilization, and the creators of a better life.
"Three cleanups and one reform" is the basic work of improving the environment and creating a better life, which requires everyone to give full play to the spirit of ownership, starting from themselves, starting from the small things around them, and starting from the present.
Q
What is the "Three Packs at the Door"?
A
"Three guarantees in front of the door" refers to environmental sanitation, greening and social order in the demarcated responsibility area. According to the beneficiary, the cleanliness and order of the village can be roughly divided into two parts:
Some of them are public, such as the activity square in the village, the road leading to the village, etc., and the beneficiaries are most of the villagers, and some are relatively private "in front of the door", such as the road in front of the house and behind the house, the outer courtyard wall, etc., and the beneficiaries are mainly the households.
Q
Who is responsible for the "three guarantees in front of the door"?
A
The government and village collectives are mainly responsible for the cleanliness, greening, and social order of the public areas, while the relatively private part is mainly the responsibility of the respective households.
The reasons for this are, first, in accordance with the principle of "whoever benefits is responsible," which is a fair way of distributing responsibilities; second, rural residents live in scattered areas, and "sweeping the snow in front of their own doors" is a relatively efficient method, and the saved financial and village collective funds can be used in other more important aspects.
Q
What is the significance of doing a good job of "three bags before the door"?
A
"Three Bags in front of the door" allows residents to carry out cleaning and order management according to their own needs and at their own pace, which can not only make their surrounding environment and order better, and the neighborhood relationship more harmonious, but also use the vacant land in front of and behind the house to plant flowers and vegetables to supplement the needs of the family.
Q
How can farmers better participate in the village clean-up operation?
A
From the perspective of the organizers, first, it is necessary to optimize the organizational methods and processes, ask the villagers, formulate cleaning action goals that are acceptable and operable to the villagers, clarify their respective responsibilities (such as the three bags in front of the door), work with the villagers to formulate reward and punishment strategies, and write them into the village rules and regulations;
The second is to popularize the knowledge of village cleaning actions, and popularize the disadvantages of untidy villages through ways that villagers like to see, such as sending dramas to the countryside, Douyin Kuaishou short videos, and "small hands holding big hands";
Third, we should not only educate everyone about the benefits of village cleanliness and let villagers know that improving their living environment can prevent diseases and improve comfort, but also find ways to make farmers feel the direct benefits.
For example, some villages have increased peasants' incomes through the development of rural tourism and courtyard economy; some villages have gained collective reputation by changing the appearance of their villages and enhancing peasants' participation, and then won government rewards and enterprise investment; and some villages have given material and spiritual rewards to the masses through the point system and the selection of five-star families, and the results have also been very good.
