“盼望着，盼望着，东风来了，春天的脚步近了……”
"Look forward, look forward, the east wind is coming, and the pace of spring is near..."
是地球母亲，给我们带来了一个又一个美丽的春天。4月22日，当第37个“世界地球日”踏着春天的舞步来到我们身边的时候，我们不能不想一想：我们应该如何善待地球母亲，应该怎样珍惜地球母亲赐予我们的万里春光。
It is mother earth that brings us beautiful spring after spring. On April 22, when the 37th "World Earth Day" came to us in spring, we can"t help but think about how we should treat our mother earth well and how we should cherish the spring light our mother gave us.
善待地球——珍惜资源，持续发展，是这个春天的主旋律。
Treat the earth well - cherish resources and develop continuously are the main theme of this spring.
但是，当前在我国，无论土地资源还是矿产资源，其保护、利用和永续利用的形势，都不容我们乐观。我们不得不问一问：地球的春天，是永远的吗？
However, the current situation of protection, utilization and sustainable utilization of land resources and mineral resources in China is not optimistic. We have to ask: the earth"s spring, is forever?
尽管我们实行的是世界上最严格的土地管理制度，可在一些地方，乱占乱用农地和基本农田的事，还时不时地发生；
我们大大小小的城市，由钢筋混凝土铺就的“大饼”，仍在一个劲儿地向四面八方扩张，吞噬着周围的万顷粮田……
Although we implement the strictest land management system in the world, in some places, the indiscriminate use of agricultural land and basic farmland still happens from time to time; in our big and small cities, the "pancakes" made of reinforced concrete are still expanding in all directions, engulfing the surrounding acres of grain fields
尽管矿产资源供给已经成了经济快速发展的制约瓶颈，可在一些地方，以浪费和破坏资源为标志的无证小矿山，仍在不停地乱采滥挖；
即使在大矿山，“吃一半扔一半”的粗放开采方式也还在继续；
乱堆乱放的尾矿，不但使本来可以利用的矿产资源惨遭抛弃，还可能在雨季形成泥石流，变为摧毁田地、庄稼和百姓生命财产的杀手；
矿山采空区的地面塌陷和地裂缝，不但使农民失去了赖以生存的土地资源，也威胁着他们的居住安全；
我们本是世界上最缺水的国家，可生产和生活用水还在被随意地挥霍着，珍贵的地下水被过量开采或者污染着；
我们的能源已经十分短缺了，可雨后春笋般新建住房的粗放供暖，仍在浪费着油和煤炭资源……
Although the supply of mineral resources has become the bottleneck of the rapid economic development, in some places, small unlicensed mines marked by waste and destruction of resources are still mining indiscriminately; even in large mines, the extensive mining method of "eating half and throwing half" is still continuing; the disordered tailings not only make the mineral resources that can be used be abandoned, but also It can form debris flow in rainy season and become the killer of destroying fields, crops and people"s lives and properties; the ground collapse and ground fissure in the mined out area not only make farmers lose the land resources they depend on for survival, but also threaten their living safety; we are the most water deficient country in the world, and the production and living water is still being consumed at will, and the precious groundwater is excessive Mining or polluting; our energy is in short supply, but the extensive heating of newly built houses is still wasting oil and coal resources
在土地、矿产资源供求全面紧张的今天，我们必须改变国土资源利用粗放、效率低下、浪费严重的现状。党中央和国务院高度重视国土资源节约集约利用，要求我们在战略机遇与矛盾凸显并存的关键时期，有高度的历史责任感、强烈的忧患意识和广阔的世界眼光，准确把握我国发展的阶段性特征，立足科学发展，着力自主创新，加快转变经济增长方式，把节约资源作为基本国策，发展循环经济，保护生态环境，加快建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会，促进经济发展与人口、资源、环境相协调。
Today, the supply and demand of land and mineral resources are in an all-round shortage, we must change the current situation of extensive utilization, low efficiency and serious waste of land and resources. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the conservation and intensive utilization of land and resources, and require us to have a high sense of historical responsibility, a strong sense of anxiety and a broad world vision in the critical period when strategic opportunities and contradictions coexist, accurately grasp the phased characteristics of China"s development, base on scientific development, focus on independent innovation, accelerate the transformation of economic growth mode, and save resources It is the basic national policy to develop circular economy, protect ecological environment, accelerate the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly society, and promote the coordination of economic development with population, resources and environment.
为了建设节约型社会，“十一五”期间国家立下了几个必须达到的约束性硬指标：耕地保有量保持1．2亿公顷，单位国内生产总值能源消耗降低20％左右，单位工业增加值用水量降低30％，农业灌溉用水有效利用系数提高到0．5，工业固体废物综合利用率提高到60％（预期性）。现在，各级政府和企业正在为实现这些目标努力，我们每一个公民都要为实现这些目标努力。资源短缺、能源危机就在我们身边，“电荒”、“油荒”、“煤荒”、“水荒”等等，正无时不刻在困扰着我们。珍惜资源靠你我他。只有全社会共同努力，才能使我们摆脱快速发展中()的资源困境，走向资源节约、环境友好的社会。
In order to build a conservation oriented society, during the 11th Five Year Plan period, the state has set up several binding hard targets that must be achieved: the amount of cultivated land remains 120 million hectares, the energy consumption per unit of GDP is reduced by about 20%, the water consumption per unit of industrial added value is reduced by 30%, the effective utilization coefficient of agricultural irrigation water is increased to 0.5, and the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste is increased to 60%（ Expectations). Now, governments and enterprises at all levels are working hard to achieve these goals, and every one of our citizens should work hard to achieve these goals. The shortage of resources and the crisis of energy are all around us. The shortage of electricity, oil, coal and water are always bothering us. Treasure resources by you, me and him. Only with the joint efforts of the whole society can we get rid of the resource predicament in the rapid development and move towards a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.
珍惜资源，保护资源，节约资源，人人有责。让我们从现在做起，从我做起，从点点滴滴做起，珍惜地球母亲赐予我们的一切自然资源，使我们的家园年年春光灿烂……
It is everyone"s responsibility to cherish, protect and save resources. Let"s start from now on, from me, from little by little, cherish all the natural resources that our mother earth has given us, and make our home bright in spring every year
