Last year’s Songhua River pollution acted as an alarm to Chinese people. According to SEPA officials, environmental pollution has become serious, and will continue so for the next 15 years.

A recent survey showed that though most Chinese people care about environmental problems, they don’t put their concerns into practice. One reason is that they don’t know how. So the newly published measures present information about how to report environmental problems and how to join in the battle against pollution.

Actually there is much you can do in daily life. Buy less to reduce waste. Don’t throw away things before you have made the most use of them. Use electricity, water and gas only when necessary. Switch them off when you don’t need them.

Everyone can participate in making the planet suitable for future generations. Why not join in and make our world more fantastic?
