Life in Guang Zhou. China becoming more green! Slowly but nevertheless! AMAZING
Many know how bad China has reputation regarding environmental protection. With a coal power plant oppening here weekly and having cities that have the deadly smog levels of London 1950’s killer smog, many consider China to be in dark ages on its environment management. The town I am staying in has worse air pollution in comparison to London X 10. Here those deadly smogs are not uncommon. however the government is doing big and small changes to its environmental stance. The whole world is looking at China so those green steps are very commendable (good)! The more green changes here the better. China has opportunity to do sustainable development and show the world how to live close to nature! When you respect nature she looks after you. If not a tornado can come and wipe the us humans out like dinosoarus in one day. No defence against that!
GREEN STUFF IN GUANG ZHOU
1. Truck Ban to Relieve Inner Ring Road. Banning those big gas guzzlers is great. First roads will last longer. Second less pollution! GZ’s small yet significant step towards more eco town!
2. GZ has world’s largest wind power turbins generating company! This company spending ($53.6 million) ) is no small cookie. Now all we need to do is put them all over China to generate much wind power! Wind power is incalculable times better than coal and nuclaer power plants as it creats no pollution at all. The world being dirty and polluted place is what we need most now!
3. City Bans Popular Cantonese Dish of Snake and Cat. Snakes are part of forests ecosystem so taking them away will put this delicately balanced system at risk. There are more than enough meat dishes on Chinese menu to fill this lose!
4. One of the biggest green steps in GZ was the “Guangzhou without Motorcycles ban.” Now many people are using electric scooters which are 100% green. It would be wonderful if the electricty they are running on come from wind or solor or tide! That would make the whole thing environmentally friendly. But sadly much coal is burned to make electricty here.
5. GZ launches “Green Commuting“, which asks drivers to live their cars at home and promotes environmental awareness. I belive the more people know how bad pollution is here and how much change they can make for better with very small steps, i.e. living your car at home for 1 day a week more, then people will become more green. This is because caring for nature is a long term investment in your childs future. And allowing your children to enjoy forests and nature.
The Chines government is introducing more environmentally friendly activities such as “No Car Day” and ”Green Transport and Health”.

V. GREEN SHOPPING TIPS. Consumers that is shoppers, have huge power to make Earth green. Every time you buy green product you giving your money to a green cause and taking it away from bad guys who dont care about nature. It might be a drop in the sea but the sea is made up of drops! It’s called ethical consumer, when you buy products and use services from companies that are doing something about environmental protection or simply making their products in a way to that does not destroy nature.
A shining example of such company is Bio-D which makes home cleaning products that are made up of natural ingredients and not chemicals. I buy my dish washing and toilet washing liquid there. Also buy my multi surface cleaner there. All work well and most importantly do not pollute environment once they get in to the water system.
6. Xu Haiting, 14-year-old student at Shekou International School, had been nominated for the national award, the only school student out of 280 entrants. “I am helping reduce the use of plastic bags, promote eco-friendly ideas in local communities and plant 20 trees each year.” A very young eco warrior. A rising star is making more piggies aware about how important its to work with nature! Young ‘green heart’.

QUOTE OF LIFE TIME
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Matthew 15:26
Am not big Christianity fun but some of the stuff they have in Bible is very smart. Like this quote. If you give those dogs your perils they will just fart on them and use it against you to laugh at you. Many dogs those days that don’t appreciate anything apart from beer and soap TV programs.
