under the background of positive progress in environmental protection, environmental imbalances remain serious

"how to do a good job 'use' this article may have to play two roles," zhang bo said. one is that the government should play a better role. for example, the environmental protection department must strengthen supervision and management, and use plugging to promote sparseness; on the other hand, relevant departments and local governments must also do a good job in the post, do a comprehensive utilization of resources, and allow the “use” article to achieve scale, specialization, and socialization.
