Hangzhou takes action on carbon emission

2009-November-18 17:18:09

Global warming is posing a threat across the world. In recent years, the more frequent occurrence of extreme bad weather is a testimony to the change in climate.

In the latest move to address the threat, the Hangzhou municipal government has launched a low carbon emission campaign in a bid to develop into a model city with low carbon emission rates.

The government has called upon fellow citizens to make joint efforts in combating global warming. Wang Guoping, general secretary of Hangzhou, has suggested ways that the average Hangzhou citizen can help, including reducing the use of air conditioners, using reusable chopsticks, buying more food, etc.

The city is already making progress. Last May, Hangzhou officially launched the widely-applauded public bicycle traffic system. Now over 1,600 public bicycle rental service stations are located across the city, providing over 40,000 bicycles for citizens and visitors.
