"compensation forest, low carbon man". On the morning of 10, in the Ji'nan Watercurtain Gorge Scenic Area, Changqing Mashan Jiaozhuang West hillside and Libu Town, Wolong pond Daqing Taishan, nearly 1000 citizens participated in the tree planting activities organized jointly by this newspaper and the Ji'nan forestry department and the water curtain Gorge Scenic Area. The public responded positively to the call of "driving a year, planting a tree, discharging me, and compensating me", adding six thousand green trees to the spring just in the morning. At about 9:30 on the morning of 10, in the water curtain Gorge Scenic Area, Changqing Mashan Jiaozhuang West hillside and Libu town in Liu town, Wolong Lake Taishan three tree planting points, gathered to come to the tree planting people. Some of them came from chartered cars, some came from their families, and others came by our tree planting through train. As soon as we got off the train, everyone came to the planting areas and started planting trees with buckets and spades. More than 600 people who come to plant trees are so busy that they have just taken over the saplings distributed by the garden workers in the scenic spots and dig the soil and dig the pit at the designated locations of the mountains. "All three of our families have moved out and planted a few trees to make a symbolic compensation for the emissions from the year of driving." Zou Xiansheng, the citizen, said. 50 Qilu volunteers from the Shandong land surveying and Mapping Institute came to the group. "We planted three trees each to make contributions to the city." Han Juan, a volunteer, introduced the name "volunteer forest" for a piece of forest. At the Changqing town of Changqing, the students from the love community of the Shandong University are not weak. The pits, trees, soil, water, and a small walnut grow on the west slope. "We need to dig deeper into the pit and water more, so that we can grow one tree and live a tree. In the next few years, the hillsides are all walnut trees all over the mountains and plains." Wang Wenmei, 74, said it was his wish to turn barren hills green. In the Wolong pond in Liubu Town, the Wolong Lake Tai Qing Taishan, the local forestry station has increased the supply of trees and seedlings because of the many volunteers to take part in the tree planting. The trees of nearly 200 people have made the mountain head of Daqing Taishan a new green. "Besides planting pine and cypress and peach trees, I would like to bring my children to see it again next year." Ms. Liu, a self driving driver, said she wanted her children to grow up with saplings.
