贯彻以德治国 促进可持续发展

Improving Sustainable Development by Implementing Morality-Motivated State Management

人们生产与消费的欲望是无止境的，不加节制则是可怕的。为了可持续发展，人们在生产与消费上节制贪欲是一种美德。我国的“十五”计划开始重视以德治国在可持续发展中的作用，它要求我们高度重视环境伦理道德建设，巧妙地运用中国古代的生存智慧，彻底转变无节制地生产和过度消费的观念。然而，这仅仅依靠法治还是不够的，只有在搞好环保法治的基础上，深入地贯彻以德治国的方略，可持续发展才有可能实现。

People's drives of production and desires of consumption are inexhaustible. They usually develope to be terrible without any constraints. The control of avarice in production and consumption proves a virtue. In the 'Tenth Five-Year Plan', importance has been attached to moral state management in sustainable development. As such we are urged to lay emphasis on environmental ethics. Making strategic use of classical Chinese survival wisdom, the unchecked production and consumption ideology can be shifted. Nomocracy alone, nevertheless, will not reach the end. As a result, on the basis of fair environmental ethics of government, coupled with substantial implementation of the morality-motivated state management strategy, the shift of the ideology concerned can be achieved.
