Pollution Is Behind The "Famous Brand".

The environment is sometimes fair, and the environmental victims are also victims of the environment. No one can escape the evil that he has made. Environmental protection is to make the environmental information public, so that the perpetrators will be punished, and the victims will be respected and protected.

Facing the injured earth, there are a group of people who have been making persistent efforts with their own strength.

Dahl asked the natural knowledge society and the public environment research center, two non-profit environmental institutions registered in Beijing. Dahl asked the natural knowledge society, which was specially equipped with a set of urban environmental quality testing equipment to conduct a comprehensive "knowledge seeking" inspection of the air environment quality, the electromagnetic environment quality and the water environment quality of the city. The public environmental research center has developed and operated two databases of China's water pollution map and China's air pollution map.

Interview with Dahl, ask the initiator of natural knowledge society Feng Yongfeng Wang Jingjing, deputy director of the public environment research center, launched a dialogue with them on all aspects of the ecological environment.

　 The environmental victims still can not get the punishment they deserve.

We heard that Dahl asked the testing center to set up PM2.5 testing projects. What are the biggest difficulties encountered in the implementation of the bottom-up environmental monitoring project?

Feng Yongfeng: the environmental organizations around the world do not understand enough the importance of independent folk testing. Some local governments are afraid of civil participation in environmental testing. But I think as long as independent civilian testing is to help improve the local environment, non-governmental environmental protection organizations will quickly realize the value of this action. Local distrust government departments will also dispel doubts and be willing to divert the responsibility of environmental monitoring to society. We use professional testing instruments and are responsible for the authenticity of the test results.

What are the main problems faced by China in undertaking environmental protection?

Feng Yongfeng: the biggest difficulty at present is Environmental disaster The victims are still not protected, and the victims of environmental disasters still can not get the punishment they deserve. If our relevant laws can be amended as soon as possible, so that the perpetrators should be punished and victims deserve proper respect and protection, then China's environmental protection will not be too difficult.

Wang Jingjing: the biggest problem is that regulation, public participation and information disclosure are very limited.

　　 Some enterprises prefer to pay for pollution without rectification.

The public environmental research center has just released a survey report on textile cleaning industry for Dahl and other environmental organizations. What is the pollution level in the textile industry?

Wang Jingjing: the pollution of the textile industry is quite serious. The water consumption is very large, and the efficiency of water use is very low. China has gradually become a world textile factory. 34% of the world's clothing exports and 50% of its fiber exports are from China.

The textile industry wastewater discharge is ranked the top five. Our entire database has been collected since 2006, and now the illegal business accounts for more than 97000 records. Search for key words in clothing, textiles, dyeing and finishing, and found that more than 6000 enterprises in the textile industry. In the process of further investigation of these more than 6000 enterprises, we find that there are 48 large brand enterprises in nearly more than 100 customer enterprises, and their suppliers have many years of irregularities. So, our 41 environmental protection organizations wrote letters to these 48 enterprises, hoping that they could manage their suppliers. {page_break}

What is the effect of communication?

Wang Jingjing: the response is different. So far, 16 enterprises have responded that they will actively investigate. More active are Adidas, Nike, Levi's, Burberry, etc., they have begun to manage their suppliers, and some have pushed to the management of two level suppliers, material suppliers. In particular, like Adidas, they wrote to express their strong recognition of the efforts made by China's green choice Alliance for the environment and social responsibility of Chinese enterprises. They also mentioned that they would make some improvements. There are some enterprises that we are familiar with, in a state of no response, or even a state of refusal to respond.

Our survey shows that 60% of respondents believe that they should "increase penalties for pollute producers". But supervision and punishment can trigger enterprises to carry out rectification?

Wang Jingjing: China's supervision in this area is limited. In addition, these suppliers prefer to pay a fine or to make a real rectification because the cost of breaking the law is very low. Now, from a legal point of view, a major violation can only be fined one hundred thousand yuan at a time, which is nothing for an enterprise. A beer manufacturer in Gansu, also known as a world famous brand, has taken water directly from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and has been drained straight to the Yellow River. At that time, it was straight row and did not deal with anything at all. Reporters interviewed the local environmental protection bureau. The EPA said they could only punish the enterprise two times a year, a maximum of five thousand yuan a year, and ten thousand a year. A set of processing equipment will cost 3 million 400 thousand yuan. Therefore, enterprises prefer to pay a fine for 340 years.

From the monitoring map, the monitoring of the southeastern coastal enterprises is more concentrated.

Wang Jingjing: on the one hand, we can not deny that cities in the southeastern coastal cities do better in terms of information disclosure. Our previous project with the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) focused on the environmental information disclosure of 113 key cities in China. From the analysis, the situation of information openness on the southeastern coast is higher than that in the central part, which is higher than that in the West. The difference between East and West is gradually being opened up, and the degree of openness of information on the southeastern coast is increasing. The information released is relatively complete and detailed, and the frequency of publication is also improving.

On the other hand, the five coastal provinces, especially Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Shandong, account for 50% of the total dyeing and finishing wastewater discharge. But with the strengthening of supervision in the southeast and the increase of information disclosure, some enterprises began to shift to the West and the north. There is a company in Dongguan, in 2006, is straight row of waste water, a day of more than 20000 tons, a very large volume. After Guangdong's supervision was strengthened, the enterprise transferred production to Yancheng and other places in Northern Jiangsu Province.

There are two kinds of pollution transfer, one is the transfer in the city, and the other is to establish a special industrial zone from inside the city to outside the city. The greater possibility is from Southeast coast Move inland. Inland economic development is limited. In the case of investment promotion, as long as enterprises can bring huge economic benefits, whether they are polluting enterprises or not, they are holding hands, without considering the capacity of the environment. {page_break}

　 To save water pollution, we need to strengthen supervision.

In your opinion, what is the most serious pollution problem in China?

Feng Yongfeng: pollution in every field is very serious. Its direct manifestation is the death and collapse of nature. Its indirect manifestation is that human's health has been affected by dominance or recessive, acute or chronic. The environment is sometimes fair, and environmental victims are also victims of the environment. None of us can escape the evil we made.

Wang Jingjing: water pollution, air pollution, solid waste pollution and soil pollution are all serious. The biggest problem in China is water pollution. Water pollution will eventually involve the shortage of resources.

What are the measures to save water pollution at present?

Wang Jingjing: in terms of industry, first of all, the government needs to strengthen supervision, improve the cost of illegal activities, promote information disclosure, and promote pollution enterprises to improve. Information disclosure can at least provide conditions for public participation. Second, customer enterprises, including investors, banks and so on, should make use of their right to purchase, invest and credit to influence polluting enterprises. In addition, consumers, the public and the media, such public organizations should use the right of purchase and supervision to restrict the emission behavior of enterprises.
