Change Of The Development Of Rural Economy Of Our Country Environmental Protection Concept

It is not optimistic, nowadays, for the global environment since environmental problems in various countries have become the serious threat to peoples’lives. As a developing country, China is in a stage of rapid economic development, but its development model is dependent on the supply of natural resources.

With the rapid rise of the rural economy, a large number of pollution sources have been transferred from urban to rural. In this way, the rural environment has to take the dual pressures from its own and the Urban Development. Nowadays, the original idyllic scenery cannot see in the rural areas. The garbage accumulation, sewage river, riddled mountain, subsidence land and other serious environmental problems can be seen everywhere. As a large agricultural country, there are about900million people living in rural areas in China. Obviously, the destruction of the rural environment directly impacted Chinese people’s living environment. Meanwhile, it seriously hampered the development of the rural economy. As considering the vast area and population in rural, solely relying on the government and business investment to deal with the environmental problems is not feasible. Therefore, we must call for all the people in the rural areas to protect the environment, and find a way out for the rural environment.Whether people in the rural areas have the concept of environmental protection or not, and what the concept have gone through during the changing process will be very worthy studying.
