Burning straw, a seemingly simple act, has sparked fierce controversy. One group of supporters of a ban on burning cites the inescapable fact that air pollution is getting worse, that emissions of toxic and harmful gases have reached alarming levels, and that people's lives and health are seriously threatened. Burning stubble is undoubtedly exacerbating the problem. They insist on a ban on incineration, citing environmental protection.
However, is it stubborn? It doesn't seem to be so. The other group is firmly opposed to the ban on straw burning, and they have come up with their own set of arguments that they think are "unbreakable": burning, exterminating pest eggs that harm crops, in order to reduce the use of pesticides and indirectly protect the environment; Isn't burning, leaving fertile ashes in the fields, also contributing to "circular agriculture"? There seems to be some truth to this point of view.
The impact of opposing views on our thinking, burning straw, does not seem to be a black-and-white issue. What we need to face up to is the core of both voices: environmental protection. The improvement of the environment, the protection of people's health, and the need for sustainable development, these urgent issues all point to a focus - environmental protection, and environmental protection is contrary to the things that do not do; What is in line with environmental protection is the right choice. Under this revelation, the ban on straw burning is still a fact worth considering.
No matter which position you stand, it is undeniable that the problem of straw burning is not only a problem of burning, but also a key issue of agricultural model transformation, and it is a problem of actively looking for new ways to dispose of agricultural waste. This is a major social issue that touches the nerves of the whole society, and we need to work together to answer and act together. Ask yourself, do we stand by or embrace the challenge and use the scientific approach to solve the problem that calls for change?
Historically, straw has been regarded as a valuable resource. Back in ancient times, the thrifty wisdom of the peasants was reflected in the use of each straw. Straw, in their hands, is turned into firewood for cooking, provides warm beds for livestock, and even weaving material for farm fun. These are the ancient people's reverence for nature, but also the cherishing of resources.
But the wheel of time is rolling forward, especially in the past two decades, with the acceleration of agricultural modernization, the use of straw has undergone earth-shaking changes. The popularity of various types of machinery has reduced the daily dependence on straw and turned to find convenient ways to dispose of it, so straw burning has become a common phenomenon. This has been accompanied by a change in the lifestyle of farmers: they are more interested in efficiency and ignore the value of straw and the importance of environmental protection.
Such a shift brings with it a stack of problems. The widespread burning of straw not only seriously pollutes the clean air, but also is a great waste of valuable agricultural resources. This practice not only undermines the health of the environment, but also fails to effectively use these resources to contribute to agricultural production and environmental protection. In fact, innovative ways of using straw – such as converting straw into energy, feed or organic fertilizer – are slowly opening a new chapter in the path for farmers towards sustainability. Reality tells us that incineration is not the right way to solve the problem, and that both innovation and regression offer more possibilities.
In the alternation of history and reality, we cannot help but wonder: how to find a balance between respecting tradition and promoting the process of modernization? How to solve the problem of straw burning is not only the responsibility of policymakers, but also the source of motivation for every contemporary farmer to change his or her own behavior? These are questions that deserve deep thinking and action by each of us.
Burning straw has brought a series of negative impacts to the environment, but the harm is far greater than people think. Polluted air is not only a simple summary of the gray sky, but also deeply permeates everyone's life. In the days of smog, traffic is paralyzed, people's health is threatened, and respiratory diseases are quietly on the rise, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for a fast-growing society like China.
In addition, wet straw is difficult to burn completely in the incineration process, but smokes for a long time, and the harmful substances contained in its flue gas pollute the environment continuously and long-term. The cost of restoring a clean atmosphere is incalculable. The incompleteness of this pollution makes it possible for even one season of straw burning to have an impact throughout the year.
The impact on the land cannot be ignored either. The small amount of ash from incineration is thought to be used to backfill the land, but in fact, this kind of plant ash is not a suitable fertilizer. Due to the high temperatures of the incineration process, many of the microorganisms and nutrients that benefit the soil have been destroyed, and its effect on soil improvement is minimal, and this single act of burning also deprives the land of the opportunity to return to nature.
From a health perspective, farmers who inhale harmful gases from burning straw for a long time face health risks such as respiratory diseases. Such health problems mean that families will bear the high cost of medical care, further increasing the financial burden on farmers. Therefore, in the long run, straw burning not only fails to bring substantial benefits to farmers, but creates potential economic pressures.
Such a policy of prohibition is formulated from the perspective of protecting the environment and the interests of farmers, and such a decision reflects a thoughtful consideration for the future of the country and the people. The air is shared, and the land is the future carrier. The protection of such resources is a symbol of responsibility and responsibility in every era.
Although there are individual voices opposing this policy, such opposition is not justified in the interests of the majority for the sake of the health and well-being of the wider population in the interests of the whole. The interests of all peasants are far more important than the short-sightedness of a few people, and should be the primary consideration in decision-making.
The implementation of the policy is unquestionable and should be implemented unconditionally, and resolutely say "no" to those actions that are harmful to society and the environment. The full implementation of the policy of banning straw burning will not only curb the current environmental problems, but also contribute to the long-term development of farmers and society as a whole. In the long run, such policies will improve agricultural production conditions, increase the efficiency of the use of agricultural resources, and minimize the negative impact of agricultural production on the environment.
It is a question of protecting the land, the air, the water and the interests of all the people who live on it. Today, society as a whole should come together not only to support the implementation of policies, but also to consciously practice them in their daily lives to build a sustainable and environmentally friendly future. The necessity of banning straw burning is self-evident, it is not only an emergency measure, but also a reflection on the future, and a precious gift for the next generation.
