Blueprint for 'conservation culture' backed by top leaders

China's top leadership backed a "conservation culture" on Tuesday and adopted the concept of "greenization" for the first time.

The decision was made at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

Conservation culture will now be considered in all aspects of government work - economic, political, social and cultural - in pursuit of "industrialization, urbanization, informationization, agricultural modernization and greenization".
