china's first home-made rubbish power plant operational
china's first power plant using homemade equipment for generating electricity with rubbish was put into operation recently in east china's zhejiang province.
costing a total investment of 90 million yuan (us$10.84 million), this non-government-run plant is able to handle 320 tons of rubbish per day and generate 25 million kwh of electricity per year.
smoke and gas discharged after treatment, tested by the chinese academy of sciences, has measured up to the environmental standard set by the country.
the non-government environmental protection movement in china
on environment day (june 5) of 1993, a group of chinese intellectuals sat in the ruins of a pagoda in the suburbs of beijing, and discussed the current lamentable state of china's environment, and what common citizens could do to salvage and protect it. a year later, the friends of nature, the first non-government environmental protection organization in china, was founded. the organization, with its slogan "protecting and being friendly to nature," indicates the common recognition among chinese people of the need for environmental awareness.
in the years that followed, chinese non-government environmental protection organizations mushroomed. the most influential ones include the friends of nature, the green earth volunteers, the global village of beijing (gvb), and senol. members of these organizations look squarely at environment pollution and bravely admit the fact that the progress of industrialization generates negative effects. while struggling to find their own ways of dealing with this huge problem, they also hope to learn from the experience of developed countries in environmental protection.
in , the sophie award and the magsaysay award, both world-renowned prizes for environmental protection, were given respectively to two chinese -- liao xiaoyi and liang congjie. both are leaders of chinese non-government environmental protection organizations. this event greatly encouraged those pushing forward the undertakings of chinese environmental protection.
