Recently, a complaint about residents in Lane 379 of Yan'an West Road, Jing'an Temple Street, cutting down trees without authorization, has attracted widespread attention. After receiving feedback from the citizen service hotline "12345", the Jing'an Temple Street Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team acted quickly and rushed to the scene to investigate and deal with it. This incident is not only a destruction of the community's green environment, but also a blatant challenge to the public greening management regulations.
It is understood that one palm tree was cut down, while the other coral tree was over-pruned, and neither of them went through the approval procedures of the relevant authorities. When the law enforcement officers found the person concerned, they said that they did not understand, thinking that the trees in the courtyard were planted by themselves, because there were pests and diseases, and it affected the indoor lighting, so they wanted to cut down these trees and replace them with more suitable trees. Such an explanation is obviously ignorance and disregard for greening management regulations.
In response to this incident, we can't help but ask: Is it possible for individuals to plant trees to be cut down at will? Is the presence of pests or diseases or the presence of pests and diseases affecting sunlight a reason for cutting down trees? Apparently not. Every tree is an important part of urban greening, they not only beautify our living environment, but also provide important support for the urban ecosystem. Any act of destruction of trees is an infringement of the public interest.
First, let's take a look at the legal basis behind this incident. The "Shanghai Greening Regulations" clearly stipulate that no unit or individual shall cut down trees without authorization. If it is necessary to cut down or prune trees, it must go through the approval procedures of the relevant authorities. This is a legal provision established to protect the urban green environment and safeguard the public interest. However, in this case, the parties ignored this provision and cut down trees without authorization, which is obviously a violation of the law.
Second, let's take a look at the mindset of the parties. The parties believe that the trees in the courtyard were planted by their own hands, so they have the right to dispose of them at will. This mentality is undoubtedly a manifestation of selfishness. Although trees are planted by individuals, once they become part of the city's greenery, they have a public attribute. Any damage to trees will affect the green environment of the entire community and the quality of life of residents. Therefore, individuals should also bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations when enjoying the benefits of greening.
Let's talk about the impact of this incident on the residents of the community. Felled palm trees and over-pruned coral trees originally provided shade and greenery for the residents of the community. However, due to the selfish behavior of the parties, these trees were cut down or over-pruned, resulting in the destruction of the community's green environment. This not only affects the quality of life of residents, but also reduces the overall aesthetics of the community. At the same time, it also has a negative demonstration effect on other residents of the community, which may lead more people to follow this behavior, further exacerbating the damage to the green environment.
In addition, this incident also exposed some problems in the management of urban greening. On the one hand, the greening management department should strengthen the supervision of community greening, and timely detect and stop similar destructive behaviors; On the other hand, it is also necessary to strengthen publicity and education for residents and raise their awareness of greening and protection. Only in this way can we jointly protect our green home.
In this incident, law enforcement officers intervened in a timely manner and conducted legal education, so that the parties concerned realized that their actions violated the relevant provisions of the "Shanghai Greening Regulations". The person concerned also expressed his willingness to accept the relevant punishment and actively replant the trees. However, this does not hide its previous wrongdoings. We hope that through this incident, more people can pay attention to and reflect on it, and jointly protect our green home.
Finally, we would like to emphasize that it is the responsibility and obligation of each of us to protect the green environment. Both residents and urban management departments should work together to strengthen the awareness and management of green protection. Only in this way can we work together to create a beautiful and livable urban environment.
Personal view: As ordinary people, we should not only enjoy the benefits of greening, but also actively participate in the protection of greening. We should condemn and stop any behavior that destroys the green environment. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can strengthen the supervision and publicity and education of greening management, and improve the public's awareness and attention to greening protection. Let's work together to protect our green home!
