China is a world away from being environmentall-friendly

Hello Dayo

It is true ... but it is never to late to act in a responsible way... right ?

Hi Dayo, every citizen can help. Some options are:

* Take public transportation, bike, or walk as much as possible
* Carpool to school, work or play
* Change your lightbulbs to the energy efficient ones
* Turn your thermostat down to about 68F Turn lights off when not in a room
* Open windows to let natural light in rather than artificial light
* Shutdown your computer when not in use, putting it on sleep still uses energy as it is on stand by
* Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, or even produced in your country/state/province Take showers not baths, as baths require more water, in addition take only 5-10 minute showers
* Pack lunches in re-usable containers, do not use plastic bags or plastic utensils
* If you are up to it become a vegetarian

China now derives about three-fourths of its electricity from burning coal, and it has rapidly constructed new coal-fired plants to keep pace with burgeoning power demand. In 2006, the country "brought online about as much coal-power capacity each week as the United States and India together did over the entire year," according to the Worldwatch Institute, a nonprofit research group specializing in environmental issues. Put another way, China added the equivalent of two large coal-fired plants a week. For more go to; knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=1961
