绿水青山

“天地与我并生，而万物与我为一”是中国古代战国时期的庄子在《齐物论》中提到的，也就是中国人常说的“天人合一”。第一次接触到这个概念我非常感兴趣，它可以从很多方面解读，我理解“天人合一”就是让人与自然和谐共生。

生活在济州岛的我，从小就对大自然充满了热爱，大自然神秘又美丽，充满包容且挑战重重。从苍茫的青山、汹涌的大海到郁郁葱葱的草木、生机勃勃的鸟兽，我们总能从中获得无穷的知识与力量。

大自然是我们的母亲，我们要爱护大自然。保护自然环境是我们必须要做的事情，是刻不容缓的。习近平主席说过“绿水青山就是金山银山”，就像字面意思一样，“绿水青山”才是我们最大的财富。工业化发展和过度开发导致很多生物灭绝，垃圾随意处置污染环境等已经成为常态，全球的自然环境都在恶化。中国在近些年已经非常重视这方面的问题，不断呼吁大家，不要破坏野生动物的家园，让美丽的中国能顺利传递到子孙后代的手中。

我们的老师不仅在上课时介绍了中国与环保相关的知识，还给我们安排了参观活动。我们去参观的是全亚洲最大的地下再生水厂——槐房再生水厂。初进水厂，这里让我大吃一惊，它完全不是我想象中机器环绕、烟囱林立的样子。从外部环境看，它更像是一个公园。水清草碧，鱼戏鸟翔，绿植环绕，水草丛生，难道我们来错了地方？老师似乎感受到了我们的疑问，很快解开了我们的困惑。老师介绍水厂的地表设计引入了湿地概念，利用再生水厂生产的再生水，构建人工湿地，结合雨洪蓄滞，在再生水厂的所在地创造了一个充满生机和活力的湿地公园。这真是一个绝妙的创意！眼前只有清澈的潺潺流水，污水呢？这更吸引我想去探究——污水究竟去向何方？

老师表示不要着急，很快就会见到。接下来，我们乘坐汽车来到了水厂地下，我戴上口罩，准备提防污水的刺鼻气味。车停了，我们进入敞亮的大厅，没有机器，没有噪声，更没有刺鼻的味道！原来水厂采用单体设备封闭、空间全封闭等多级气体封闭措施，将产生的臭气经密闭管道输送至除臭设施，处理后通过排放塔集中排放。污水的处理都在大厅地面厚厚的钢板下进行，难怪我闻不到臭味，也听不到噪声。虽然每天需为北京市中心900余公里的排水系统服务，处理60万立方米的污水，但这里仍能保持安静、整洁，这个先进技术实在是太绿色环保了！它能得到全球项目创新奖金奖的荣誉真是当之无愧啊！这次参观让我们更好地理解和认识到中国环境保护的举措和决心。

环保事业不光是政府出力，中国的老百姓也在贡献自己的力量。

这是一个真实的故事，故事发生在可可西里。因为藏羚羊绒价格很高，各地的盗猎者为了自身的利益纷纷进入可可西里猎杀藏羚羊。为了保护藏羚羊，在索南达杰的带领下，当地百姓自愿组成巡山保护队，进入可可西里进行反盗猎行动。他们没有薪水，为的只是保护高原精灵。在短短几年内，他们和盗猎分子进行了无数战斗，可惜队长索南达杰在一次与盗猎团伙的搏斗中，身中数枪，不幸牺牲。

可可西里这个故事早些年我在漫画上看过，因为看的时候感觉痛心，我就没看到最后。现在通过老师的讲授，我更深刻感受到这些守护正义，为了保护自然不怕苦不怕累不怕牺牲的人才是真正的英雄。

从再生水厂到索南达杰，中国有很多环保故事感动着我们。我呼吁大家向中国学习，一起保护环境，还大自然“绿水青山”。因为地球只有一个，这是我们所有人的家。

“Heaven and earth coexist with me， and all things are the one with me”， which is what the Chinese often call “the unity of nature and human”. This was written by Zhuangzi in “Theory of Equality of Things” at the Warring States Period in ancient China. I was very interested in this concept when I first came across it. It can be interpreted from many aspects. I understand that “the unity of human and nature” means the harmonious coexistence of human and nature.

Living in Jeju Island， South Korea， I have been full of love for nature since I was a child. Nature is mysterious and beautiful， full of tolerance and challenges. From the vast green mountains and the turbulent sea to the lush vegetation and vibrant birds and beasts， we can always gain endless knowledge and power from nature.

Nature is our mother， and we must take care of her. Protecting the natural environment is something we must do without delay. Chinese President Xi Jinping once said that “clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver”. Just like the literal meaning， “clear waters and green mountains” are our greatest wealth. Industrialization and over-exploitation have led to the extinction of many species. Random disposal of garbage that pollutes the environment has become the norm. The global natural environment is deteriorating. China has attached great importance to this issue in recent years and has constantly called on everyone not to destroy the homes of wild animals so that the beauty of China can be successfully passed on to future generations.

Our teacher not only introduced knowledge related to China’s environmental protection during class， but also arranged tours for us. What we went to visit was the Huaifang Reclaimed Water Plant， the largest underground reclaimed water plant in Asia. When I first entered the water plant， I was amazed. It was completely different from what I have imagined， surrounded by machines and lined with chimneys. From the outside， it looks more like a park. The water is clear， the grass is green， the fish are swimming， and the birds are flying， surrounded by green plants and overgrown with water and grass. Have we come to the wrong place？ The teacher seemed to know about our doubts and quickly solved our confusion. The teacher said that the surface design of the water plant introduced the concept of wetland， using the recycled water produced by the reclaimed water plant to build artificial wetlands， combined with rainwater retention， creating a wetland park full of vitality at the location of the reclaimed water plant. What a brilliant idea！ There is only clear gurgling water in front of me. Where is the sewage？ This made me want to explore more — where does the sewage go？

The teacher said don’t worry， you will find it soon. Next， we took a car to the underground of the water plant. I put on a mask， preparing to beware of the pungent smell of sewage. The car stopped and we entered the bright hall. There were no machines， no noise， and no pungent smell！ It turns out that the water plant adopts multi-level gas containment measures such as single equipment sealing and total space sealing. The generated odor is transported to the deodorization facility through sealed pipelines for treatment and then centrally discharged through the emission tower. The sewage treatment is done under the thick steel plate on the floor of the hall. No wonder I can’t smell the odor or hear the noise. Although it serves more than 900 kilometers of drainage systems in central Beijing and process 600，000 cubic meters of sewage every day， it can still remain quiet and clean. This advanced technology is so green and environmentally friendly！ It is truly a well-deserved honor to receive the Global Project Innovation Gold Award！ This visit allowed us to better understand and recognize China’s environmental protection measures and determination.
