摘要

In cities,streams of automobiles gallop past urban skylines,emitting a perpetual plume of exhaust fumes.At factories,production lines run day and night,excreting pollutants into the air and water.In mountains,mining for ore is performed relentlessly and forests are cleared to make way for farmland.Along the shores,ships roaring away from the harbors while fishing vessels return loaded with their catches.Such scenes are commonplace these days.Human beings have benefitted greatly from the economic growth and improved living standards through industrialization while Mother Nature is exploited and damaged.Decades of destruction have caused various environmental problems that exert a severe impact on the living quality of humanity and other creatures on Earth.Such problems have also plagued China as a result of the country’s leapfrog economic development and previous insufficient awareness of environmental protection.
