A tree has become a scourge?
Who would have thought that the fast-growing poplar tree introduced from Japan would not only not add a touch of greenery to the city, but would become a "green killer" that plagued residents.
Ms. Li from Zhengzhou has a deep understanding. A large area of fast-growing poplar trees is planted near her home, and every spring and summer, when the cotton wool flies, the child will cough and have difficulty breathing. The haze of asthma shrouded this otherwise happy family.
What's even more infuriating is that the fire brigade received 58 fire alarms caused by poplar catkins! Even the ignorant who set fire to the poplar was sentenced to four years in prison.
In the face of such a "green disaster", netizens have questioned: Could it be that the introduction of fast-growing poplar was to supply timber to Japan? Or do some people ignore the ecological environment for the sake of economic gain?
A discussion about trees seems to unveil some hidden veils that no one knows. What kind of shady thing is it that allows this poisonous and harmful plant to grow freely in the city? Let's wait and see!
There is a poor Ms. Li in Zhengzhou, who has planted a large area of fast-growing poplar trees near her home. As soon as the season of cotton wool fell, her poor child began to gasp and became asthmatic. As a mother, watching her child suffer because of these hateful fluffs, her heart is almost broken.
But that's not all, what's even more terrifying is that firefighters were called to fight 58 fires caused by poplar catkins! Can you imagine? These innocent little things turned out to be a scourge. What's even more ridiculous is that in 2019, an unlucky guy ignited Yang Xu because he didn't know the truth, and he was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
Oh my God, it's a hilarious tragedy! On the one hand, children are suffering; On the other hand, people who are well-intentioned to prevent fire go to jail instead. Can this be more ridiculous, you say? But if you want to open it, at least give the firefighters some opportunities to exercise, and let the poor person experience the taste of prison.
But seriously, no one wants this kind of senseless trouble. The authorities should think twice about uprooting all these poplars and planting ornamental trees such as cherry blossom trees, which are pleasing to the eye and not hurting. Unless, which of you has a soft spot for Yang Xu?
Speaking of this fast-growing poplar introduced from Japan, it is really sour. When it was first introduced, it may have taken a fancy to its advantages of rapid growth and high economic value, but it did not expect to bring so much trouble to the urban environment and people's health.
You know, when the poplars blossom and bear fruit, the flying flocculent is like a drizzle, enveloping the whole city in a white felt mist. For patients with respiratory diseases, it is simply purgatory on earth. It's okay to take a deep breath, and you might be strangled half to death by asthma. What's even more terrifying is that even the children are not spared, and it is said that even the children of Ms. Li's family are often out of breath because of these little things.
But the misfortune is not a one-way street, these cunning poplar catkins even have a black hand on crops! Listening to the villagers, as soon as the poplar catkins landed, it seemed to sprinkle a layer of white veil on the crops, covering the crops alive. Aren't you looking for trouble, you say?
Poor farmer uncle, who has worked hard for a year to farm, has been ruined by these scoundrel poplars, it is really wronged! Therefore, the villagers are also complaining, calling for the promotion of local tree species and the expulsion of all these troublemakers.
I, ah, am also annoyed by these traitorous poplars, but on second thought, they are also innocent. After all, it was us humans who brought them from Japan. It would be too much to blame them now.
Now, now that we have recognized their problems, why not stop planting them and gradually replace the existing poplars with more environmentally friendly ones? For example, some native tree species with lush greenery and fragrant flowers bring the city back to life.
I understand the feelings of those who hate poplars, after all, they bring too much trouble to the city and people's lives. However, things are not always that simple, and it is not enough to make up your mind based on one-sided words.
We have to think twice and weigh the pros and cons. Although the fast-growing poplar is not a small disaster, it also has its economic value after all. For example, they grow fast and can supply the paper industry and artificial panels; In addition, they do not have high soil requirements and can survive in poor environments, which is very helpful for greening desertified areas.
Isn't it a bit arbitrary to eradicate them all? Why not keep some poplar forests and let them contribute to our economic development? At the same time, we can introduce other tree species on a large scale, such as pine, linden, ash, etc., to improve the urban environment.
You see, those trees grow more slowly, but at least they don't litter the ground like poplars. Even if a few pine needles are occasionally dropped, the harm to the human body and crops is far less than that of poplar catkins. In addition, their tree shape is much more beautiful than that of poplar trees, and the shade is all over the ground, and walking through them is a pleasing experience for the eyes.
My suggestion is to keep a small portion of the economic forest to meet basic needs; For the rest, try to replace them with such environmentally friendly and pleasing tree species. The best of both worlds, which will not cause much damage to the ecological environment, but also obtain considerable economic benefits, why not?
The growth of any kind of plant should be based on the principle of "sustainable development". The excessive pursuit of economic interests at the expense of environmental protection will inevitably lead to greater social costs. Secondly, urban planning should be adapted to local climatic conditions, and the selection of reasonable tree species should create a livable living environment.
Public awareness of environmental protection is crucial. We should take the initiative to learn about the "ecological traps" in our cities and contribute to them. Only when the government, enterprises and the public work together can we truly achieve a harmonious coexistence of urban and rural environments.
This discussion reminds us that while pursuing economic development, we should also pay special attention to the construction of ecological civilization and properly handle the relationship between man and nature. After all, there is only one earth, and its health is our most valuable asset.
