On August 20, 2021, the Shihezi Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment of Ecological and Environmental Protection of the Eighth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps received a report from the masses that a waste plastic crushing and processing workshop was carrying out production activities without relevant procedures. After inspection, the law enforcement personnel found that the processing site was illegally engaged in the collection and disposal of hazardous waste. The ecological and environmental protection department will reward the reporter with 10000 yuan. The picture shows law enforcement officers inspecting on the spot.

"Why did the inspection team find so many problems in a month? How can you not find them?" This is a sentence often mentioned by local leaders to relevant departments in the process of the central ecological and environmental protection inspection. Speaking of the reason, Zhai Qing, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, gave the secret of the central ecological and environmental protection inspector to accurately and effectively find problems. "Relying on the masses" is an important part. "Public complaints and reports are the 'gold mine' for finding clues to problems." In fact, each batch of inspectors can receive thousands of reports from the masses, from which a large number of prominent clues to ecological and environmental problems are found. This also proves the importance of public reporting for ecological and environmental protection. Recently, a number of typical cases of ecological environment law enforcement issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment have all focused on the field of reporting and reward, and the key role of fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people to participate in the ecological environment protection work can be seen from this. The environmental pollution behavior tends to be concealed, and the public report makes up for the regulatory gap. Since 2016, the central ecological and environmental protection supervision has achieved two rounds of full coverage for local supervision. According to Zhai Qing, during the two rounds of the central ecological and environmental supervision, 287000 people's ecological and environmental complaints and reports were accepted. "Fully mobilizing the masses to participate in accordance with the law in an orderly manner can effectively make up for the shortcomings and blind spots in the law enforcement and supervision of the ecological environment at the grass-roots level, effectively solve the outstanding ecological environment problems around the people, and is also an important way to further strengthen and standardize the supervision during and after the event," said the relevant head of the Law Enforcement Bureau of the Ministry of Ecological Environment. In recent years, with the strengthening of the enforcement of the law on the ecological environment, the blatant violations have been greatly reduced. However, it should be noted that the environmental pollution behavior is more covert under the pressure of governance: some enterprises have added a lot of camouflage to the illegal emission behavior in order to avoid the regulatory punishment; In order to give a green light to pollution projects, some places have developed a set of "policies and countermeasures", which has increased the difficulty of promoting ecological environmental protection. Ma Jun, director of the Public Environment Research Center, pointed out that some enterprises' environmental violations frequently occur, and some regions still have environmental law enforcement failures or administrative interference with law enforcement. It is difficult to solve all problems by administrative and judicial measures alone. Therefore, public participation and supervision are particularly important. From the past practice, it is precisely because of the clues provided by the masses' reports that some hidden environmental pollution behaviors have been investigated and dealt with, and some local and departmental inaction, slow action, development over protection and other problems
