Recently, some netizens broke the news that in a rural village in Henan, they saw billowing smoke coming out of a large area of farmland, and it was suspected that some farmers were burning straw one after another. As soon as this news was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of the majority of netizens. Some netizens angrily said that this has long violated the government's prohibition order and called for "zero tolerance" punishment.
The incident has once again raised public concern about the way farmers dispose of straw in Henan. In fact, for many years, the Henan government and environmental protection authorities at all levels have been relentlessly promoting sustainable methods of straw clean-up, while cracking down on illegal burning. However, some farmers still habitually adopt simple burning methods to dispose of straw, which has adverse effects on the environment and ecology. After this incident was exposed, the public pointed out that in order to truly eliminate this hidden danger, it is necessary for all parties to participate and work together.
Government departments need to further strengthen oversight and enforcement. The government-led promotion and publicity work has been relatively good, but it needs to be more closely relied on in terms of law enforcement and punishment. Consideration could be given to strengthening monitoring in areas with prominent problems, and severe penalties should be imposed once violations are discovered, so as to form a clear deterrent. In addition, support for alternative technologies should be increased to help farmers truly master better treatment methods.
The public also needs to play a supervisory role. Given that government regulation is difficult to cover every corner, social assistance is particularly important to solve this systemic problem. On the one hand, netizen exposure can reveal problems in a timely manner, and on the other hand, organizing public welfare people to regularly visit and monitor and give feedback to the government is also conducive to bringing together the overall supervision force of society.
In addition, there is a great need for a change in the consciousness of the farmers themselves. Habits that have been formed over a long period of time are difficult to change all at once. The government's propaganda work should start with the concept of ecological civilization, focusing on grassroots villages and towns, so that farmers can truly agree with the sustainable development of straw clearing. At the same time, vigorously promoting high-quality crop varieties can effectively reduce straw yield and reduce pressure on straw treatment.
In the long run, we should start with the high-value utilization of straw. For example, through the development of technical means of straw made of ecological materials to replace traditional building materials, which can not only reduce the amount of straw, but also create rural economic benefits. Only through the combination of technology and economy can straw truly realize the transformation from waste to treasure.
In short, solving the straw problem in Henan requires systematic thinking. All parties need to play their part and form a synergy to boost. The government relies on increased law enforcement; public use monitoring and proposals; Farmers are driven by awareness and profit to change their practices; R&D promotes high-value applications. This is a long-term and in-depth work, which is related to the quality of Henan's ecological environment and the health of residents, and everyone should attach great importance to and participate in it. I believe that as long as all parties work together, in the near future, we will see that the straw problem in Henan will be fundamentally solved.
