Debate and discussion: Are human beings protectors or destroyers of the environment? [Discussion] Ask God for help

Man is the protector of the environment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and hello everyone! Today, we think that human beings are the protectors of the environment. The so-called "protection" means that human beings adapt to the environment, make the environment better serve human survival and development, and use and transform nature. "Destruction" means that the impact on the environment exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment; The so-called "zhe" refers to a person with a certain nature. Therefore, to judge human nature, we should comprehensively consider the mainstream aspects of the contradictory relationship between man and the environment. China's sages thought: "Those who have weight, so the power is heavy, and then successively." There should be overall concept, total concept and trend concept, and importance and priority should not be ignored. Next, I will explain our views from two aspects. First, the unity of opposites between human beings and the environment shows that human beings are not the destroyers of the environment. Human beings are in a central position in the environment, and the relationship between human beings and the environment is mutually restricted and developed. Human activities are a part of environmental changes, and they are coordinated and unified. In the process of human development, the negative impact on the environment is inevitable, but the unity of the two determines that human beings can and can only establish a harmonious development relationship with the environment. Second, the history of human development is a history of environmental protection, and human beings are the protectors of the environment. As a "thinking" higher animal, human beings have been constantly rethinking this development while developing. In the farming era, human beings depend on the environment, and the environment dominates human beings. From the legendary story of "Goddess Mending Heaven" to "Dayu dares to be the first person to control water", from the historical masterpiece of "Huairou Hundred Rivers" to the rational action of "fishing for inexhaustible rivers", from Zhuangzi's naturalism of "Taoism and Nature" to Confucius and Mencius' ethics of "towering into the sky", the ancestors' exploration all reflects the light of "harmony between man and nature". In this era, the relationship between human beings and the environment is naturally unified and relatively balanced. With the advance of history to the industrial revolution, the development of natural science and scientific methodology has made people understand the principle of natural unity. Britain and Germany launched the nature conservation movement in the17th century. The idea of "sustainable development" put forward by American protectionists in the19th century can be said to be the origin of the modern idea of "sustainable development", while the idea of "natural preservation" put forward by protectionists is the cornerstone of the modern idea of biodiversity protection. It was the early natural philosophy that led to the contemporary concept of all-round environmental protection. In the transition period to a new civilization, human beings advocate the coordination of economic development with the carrying capacity of population, resources and environment, and put forward the strategy of sustainable development. From environmental protection laws and regulations to basic national policies, from pollution prevention to ecological construction, from pure government behavior to national participation, from circular economy to family planning, all of them are singing the triumph of carrying out protection to the end! A journey of a thousand miles begins with the dribs and drabs paid by every protector; After Qian Fan, only the sustainable development strategy is the only way for the coordinated development of human beings and the environment. Throughout history, the negative impact of human beings on the environment is only a discordant note in the main theme of human environmental protection. As the mainstream of the relationship between human beings and the environment, protection determines that human beings are the protectors of the environment.
