Environmental protection is an important and responsible work to add beauty to the country, promote the people's health and provide them with highly civilized living conditions, says the editorial, and goes on:

At present, it comes to be an urgent demand to intensify environmental protection.

To attach importance to the environmental protection is a global trend. The rapid environmental destruction causes frequent abnormal climatic phenomena that endanger the existence of mankind, producing knotty problems. Global warming, desertification and air, river and sea pollution have severely destroyed forest, land and wildlife resources and the amount of loss reaches astronomical figures. That's why the environmental protection emerges as a matter of international concern and many countries have channeled great efforts into it.

Patriotism means devotion to the country and people. All the DPRK citizens should actively turn out with burning patriotism in the environmental protection to turn the country into a beautiful socialist land of bliss in the era of the Workers' Party.
