1. The so-called frugality means spending money in a controlled manner and not being extravagant and wasteful. Everyone knows this concept, but there are many people who cannot pay attention to frugality in real life, so it is necessary to talk about frugality. I think we should pay attention to frugality.

First of all, living frugally is a reflection of a person’s good personal accomplishment. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang once said in the "Book of Commandments": "Quietness is used to cultivate one's moral character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue." This reflects the important role of frugality in improving one's moral cultivation. In fact, since ancient times, most people with noble moral character have paid attention to thrift and diligence. Fan Zhongyan, a famous politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, even participated in political affairs from the time he was an official, but he still maintained the virtue of being rich and not forgetting the poor, noble and thrifty. After the death of Hai Rui, an upright official in the Ming Dynasty, his luggage was counted and all he found was "eight taels of salary, one end of Gebu, and several pieces of old clothes." His frugality is admirable. Premier Zhou Enlai took "simplicity" as his motto and became an admirable leader. It is not difficult to see that frugality is of great benefit to self-cultivation.

Secondly, frugality also plays an extremely important role in governing the country. Ouyang Xiuyun said: "Those who work hard below are very diligent, and those who use things above are disciplined. The people spare no effort, and the country does not waste money." This means that frugality is beneficial to the family and the country. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, suppressed luxury and promoted frugality, which made the country prosperous and powerful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty was extravagant and wasteful, which led to the decline of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the “governing the country” we refer to does not refer to the backward feudal exploitation system, but to the governance of a socialist country. But no matter what social system, the important role of frugality in governing the country is obvious. Our country is in the primary stage of socialism, the productivity level is relatively backward, and the people's living standards are not high enough. Therefore, frugality is of great significance to building a socialist motherland. Just imagine, if a country, from the government to the people, is all about extravagance and waste, how can the country survive? How can a nation survive forever?

Diligence and frugality are the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and every descendant of the Chinese nation should strive to inherit and carry them forward. Let us start from now, start with small things, and truly implement frugality into action to develop a good habit of diligence and frugality.

2. (This is about saving water) The annual Water Saving Day is from March 22 to March 28. Its significance is to tell people the importance of saving water. The earth's water storage capacity is very abundant, with as much as 1.45 billion cubic kilometers. However, seawater accounts for 97.2% of it, freshwater from land only accounts for 2.8%, and freshwater such as rivers, freshwater lakes and shallow groundwater that are most closely related to human life only account for 0.34% of freshwater reserves. What is even more worrying is that this extremely limited amount of fresh water is becoming increasingly polluted. According to estimates by the scientific community, more than half of the countries and regions in the world lack drinking water, especially in economically underdeveloped third world countries. Currently, 70%, or 1.7 billion people, do not have access to clean water. Nearly 80% of the world's % of the population is threatened by water shortages. my country's per capita fresh water is one-quarter of the world's per capita level, making it a water-scarce country. , more than 300 cities across the country are already short of water, and 29% of people are drinking bad water, of which 70 million people are drinking high-fluoride water. Economic losses caused by water shortage reach more than 10 billion yuan every year, and economic losses caused by water pollution reach more than 40 billion yuan. Terrifying statistics show that water shortages have become a major crisis facing the world today. Therefore, protecting and more effectively and rationally utilizing water resources is an urgent task facing governments around the world. So, how can we protect and rationally utilize water resources more effectively? From an environmental perspective, the most complete measures are to block and divert water. Change the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources. But this is only one aspect, and for humans, it is more important to focus on saving water and improving water resource utilization: in industry, we should promote water-saving industries, control the discharge of pollutants, and strengthen wastewater treatment; in agriculture, we should adopt advanced Irrigation methods (sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation), etc. Water is the basis of life. It is not only related to the quality of human life, but also affects human survival ability. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance water crisis awareness, cherish water, save water, and protect water resources.

To this end, our country has formulated corresponding water-saving measures. The Ministry of Construction of our country has decided that the second week of June every year will be the National Urban Water Conservation Publicity Week. The purpose is to conscientiously implement the "Water Law of the People's Republic of China" and the State Council Regarding the "Urban Water Conservation Management Regulations", it will enhance people's concept of planning water use and saving water. How to save water? There are several methods: 1. Take pride in saving water - turn off the faucet at all times 2. Use water for multiple purposes - make full use of every drop of water 3. Stop dripping - check and repair faucets 4. Monitor water sources - protecting water sources is protecting life 5 , Use less detergent - reduce water pollution 6. Plant trees - conserve water sources 7. Active publicity - let everyone join in the "battle" of water conservation. Of course, this is far from enough, but these methods are Everyone can do it. We all want to live in a world full of birdsong and flowers, and water is a necessity for everything. So let us start from now on to safeguard the entire earth and the entire world. Save water resources and protect the world!
