“生態文明” conservation culture
今年十七大報告中首次提出了“生態文明”的概念，要求加強能源資源節約和生態環境保護，增強可持續發展能力。這也讓我們看到了，在精神文明、物質文明、政治文明之外，生態文明也將成為國人的另一個建設目標。
以下是新華社的英文報道：
"(We will) promote a conservation culture by basically forming an energy- and resource-efficient and environment-friendly structure of industries, pattern of growth and mode of consumption, " said Hu.
Hu added that China will have a large-scale circular economy and considerably increase the proportion of renewable energy resources in total energy consumption, bring the discharge of major pollutants under effective control and notably improve ecological and environmental quality.
"Awareness of conservation will be firmly established in the whole of society," Hu said.
胡錦濤說，要建設生態文明，基本形成節約能源資源和保護生態環境的產業結構、增長方式、消費模式。循環經濟形成較大規模，可再生能源比重顯著上升。主要污染物排放得到有效控制，生態環境質量明顯改善。生態文明觀念在全社會牢固樹立。
“生態文明”即“conservation culture”；“生態文明觀”為“awareness of conservation”。
