6. Why are we doing this?
Did you know that?
In Guizou Province, a metal
welding production factory
discharges its waste products
straight into drainage pipes
and channels and damages,
destroys neighbouring rice
crops and prevents them
from growing, putting local
farmers and nature environment
in danger?

7. Why are we doing this? #2
Did you know that?
In northern and central
China, forest covers have
been reduced 50% in the
last two decades? The
mountains in southwest
China have suffered serious
deforestation, logging,
hunting and collection of
plants and animals for
traditional medicines!

8. Why are we doing this? #3
Did you know that?
China is a leading consumer of paper.While many paper
products are made with recycled paper, China’s aren’t
and they cut down trees!

9. Why are we doing this? #4
Did you know that?
Due to China’s large population, China is the largest
producer of greenhouse gases and the largest emitter
of carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gas emissions are
increasing, mainly due to its increase in coal use to fuel
China’s industrial booming.
