资源,是人类进行生产活动和生存的基本条件之一,也是我们社会现代化建设所必须依赖的物资基础。我国的资源形势是严峻的,人均资源拥有量只有世界人均水平的二分之一,资源不足的矛盾已经开始部分显露出来,有的严重地制约和影响着国民经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高。值得注意的是资源节约问题还未能引起有关部门和全体公民的足够重视。许多资源,尤其是矿产资源,用一点就少一点,不能再生。因此,如何有效利用和节约有限的资源,是关系到我们民族子孙后代今后生产和生活基本条件的一件大事,绝对不能掉以轻心。一、我国资源人均占有量很低资源节约的任务十分紧迫我国幅员辽阔,人口众多,从资源的绝对量来看,确实是不少的。如我国探明的矿产储量居世界第三位,煤炭储量居世界第一位,铁矿石储量居世界第四位,水资源总量居世界 Resources are one of the basic conditions for mankind’s production activities and survival. It is also the material basis on which our society must rely on modernization. The resource situation in our country is grim. The per capita resource ownership is only half that of the world average. The contradiction of insufficient resources has already begun to be partially revealed, and some seriously restrict and affect the development of the national economy and the improvement of people’s living standards . It is noteworthy that the issue of resource conservation has yet to attract enough attention from relevant departments and all citizens. Many resources, especially mineral resources, are used a little less and can not be regenerated. Therefore, how to effectively use and save limited resources is a major event that has an impact on the basic conditions for the future production and life of our nation’s future generations and should never be taken lightly. I. Low Per Capita Resources in our Country The task of resource conservation is extremely urgent. The vast territory and the large population in our country are quite numerous in terms of the absolute amount of resources. For example, China has the third largest mineral reserves in the world, the coal reserves rank the first in the world, the iron ore reserves rank the fourth in the world, and the total water resources rank the world
