Have you ever heard the beautiful scenery of the countryside where "chickens and dogs smell each other"? The rooster crowing in the early morning is the most simple nostalgia in the hearts of many people. But now, this nostalgia may hide an unknown crisis - chicken manure pollution.
With the development of urban and rural economies at the same time, the rural breeding industry has also ushered in spring, especially the chicken industry, which is in full swing. Chickens, which were once the "small banks" of rural families, brought considerable benefits to farmers. But beneath the surface of this prosperity, an undercurrent is surging – the contamination of groundwater resources by chicken manure.
Imagine that once clear well water may now be filled with nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from chicken manure. Whenever we turn on the faucet, it may no longer be sweet well water, but a contaminated liquid. And all of this stems from the chicken manure that is piled up haphazardly.
According to statistics, in order to produce 1 ton of chicken, we need to pay the "price" of 4 tons of chicken manure. Most of this chicken manure is discharged without treatment, posing a huge threat to groundwater.
In a small village in Hunan, Zhang Damiang's chicken coop is the best in the village. Not only are there a large number of chickens in her family, but both eggs and chicken are quite popular. But as time went on, Mrs. Zhang found that the water in her well became more and more muddy, and even emitted an unpleasant smell. After testing, the nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the well water were seriously exceeded, and the source of pollution was her family's chicken manure.
This is not an isolated case, and similar situations are happening across the country. The problem of chicken manure pollution has gradually evolved from a small-scale problem to a national crisis.
The government is also aware of the seriousness of the problem and has begun to take measures. Proposals to limit the number of breeding and prohibit free-range breeding have been introduced. But will these measures really solve the problem?
We must recognize that simple restrictions and prohibitions do not solve the problem at the root of the problem. We need a more scientific and reasonable way to deal with chicken manure pollution. For example, the promotion of environmentally friendly farming technology, the establishment of sewage treatment facilities, and the improvement of farmers' awareness of environmental protection.
At the same time, we also need the joint efforts of the whole society. Consumers can choose to buy chicken products from environmentally friendly farming, thereby promoting market change, and social organizations and the media can also strengthen publicity and education on environmental protection to raise public awareness of environmental protection.
In this process, we should not only consider the development of the economy, but also the protection of the ecological environment. We cannot ignore the damage to the environment for the sake of short-term economic gain. After all, clean air and clean water are our most valuable assets.
In the face of the serious problem of chicken manure pollution, we cannot sit idly by, let alone take chances. We need to face up to this problem and take effective measures to solve it. Only in this way can we protect our water resources and ecological environment, and make our homes better.
The development of the chicken industry has certainly brought economic prosperity, but we cannot ignore its damage to the environment. We need to find a balance between growing the economy and protecting the environment. This requires the joint efforts and wisdom of each and every one of us.
Finally, I would like to ask: Are you willing to make changes and efforts for the sake of our environment and our future? Because to protect the environment is to protect ourselves.
Each of us is responsible for this matter. We cannot pass the blame on others, let alone choose to evade. Only if each of us takes action can we truly solve the problem of chicken manure pollution. Let us work together for a greener and more harmonious home!
With the vigorous development of urban and rural economies, the living standards of rural residents have been significantly improved. The farming industry, especially chicken farming, has brought considerable benefits to farmers. However, the ensuing problem of chicken manure pollution cannot be ignored. We need to face up to this problem and take effective measures to solve it. Let us work together for a greener and more harmonious homeland! Only in this way can we enjoy the dividends brought by economic development and have a healthy and beautiful living environment.
