Employees of the Ministry of ecology and environment ride 40000 kilometers a month to commute, reducing carbon by 10 tons (Beijing Daily)

When it was time to get off work again, Fu Shize, director of the atmosphere department of the atmosphere department of the Ministry of ecological environment, launched his professional bicycle from the bicycle shed, put on his helmet and prepared to ride home.

Lu Shize has been engaged in atmospheric control for more than ten years.

Now he directly participates in environmental protection activities by cycling and commuting.

In October this year, the Ministry of ecological environment officially launched the green cycling activity of “green travel, pollution reduction and carbon reduction” in the Ministry.

As soon as the activity was released, cadres and employees actively participated, and more than 90% of them signed up.

Giving up self driving and choosing public transportation, especially cycling, has become the main way for cadres and workers to commute.

As the director of the air division of the air Department, Fu Shize has been involved in the prevention and control of air pollution for many years.

He said that motor vehicles are indeed a major source of air pollution.

Nationally, motor vehicle emissions account for PM2.5% 5 about 20% to 30% of the sources, but in Beijing, this proportion is higher, basically more than 50%.

In this context, promoting green travel in Beijing is particularly important and meaningful for further improving air quality.

Pang Shize said that he is becoming more and more addicted to cycling.

Now he has enjoyed the time of cycling to and from work every day, which not only saves time, but also exercises his body.

More importantly, his participation in green cycling activities gave him new thinking on the treatment of air pollution, “As policy makers, in most cases, we think from a macro perspective.

But starting from riding, I am also a practitioner.

I will pay more attention to details and have more personal intuitive feelings, which will be more helpful to policy-making in the future.

It reminds me to pay attention to details and make policies better.” At present, more and more cadres and workers participate in green travel.

Some of them are pure cycling, and some are a combination of subway, bus and cycling.

According to the incomplete statistics of the Ministry of ecological environment, the green cycling activity was carried out in October, with a total mileage of 40000 km.

If it is calculated according to the travel instead of fuel vehicles, the carbon dioxide emission will be reduced by about 10 tons, and the pollution emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter will be reduced; If this data is accumulated, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 120 tons a year.

If the fuel consumption is calculated as 8.5 litres per 100 km, the gasoline consumption will be reduced by about 3400 litres a month, which can reduce the fuel expenditure by about 24000.

The questionnaire shows that among the nearly 400 cadres and workers who participated in the questionnaire, the number of self driving commuters decreased from 16% to less than 10%, a decrease of 6 percentage points; Green travel on weekdays The rate of (riding, walking and public transportation) has reached more than 90%, significantly higher than the previous 84%.

More cadres and workers have taken practical actions to reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions caused by self driving travel, making due contributions to environmental protection.

With the significant improvement of air quality in Beijing, green travel also has a better environment, “A few years ago, the air quality was heavily polluted in autumn and winter.

At that time, if green cycling was advocated, it would be very inappropriate from the perspective of health.

Now there are many excellent days and the air is getting better and better, the cycling will be more energetic and faster.” Data show that in the past 2020, Beijing PM2 5.

The average annual concentration is 38 μ g / m3, the lowest since the monitoring in 2013, achieving “30 +” for the first time.

At the same time, there is no PM2 for 322 consecutive days throughout the year 5 heavy pollution, 276 days of excellent air quality in the whole year, maintaining the best among the “2 + 26” cities in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas, and exceeding the objectives and tasks of the 13th five year plan.
