Re: foreign media said environmental groups teach Chinese students about water crisis: drink less coffee and eat less meat.
reported that the "thirst declaration" organization claimed that the lectures it held were mostly received by students and received a warm support from the Beijing high school class. However, the NGO China water crisis says that even if everyone in China washed 20 seconds of shower and never wasted a drop of water, the problem of water shortage in China could not be solved. The "China water crisis" organization has strengthened people's understanding of water resources. According to the statistics of the organization, only 13% of China's water consumed in 2015 belonged to personal water.
director of the China water crisis organization said: "although publicity is very important, most of the water is agricultural and industrial sectors. If there is a real impact, these departments must act (reduce water consumption). This is the responsibility of the company and the government. "
reports that the government's measures to solve the problem include water diversion projects, such as plans to build a 1000 km pipeline from the Lake Baikal in Siberia to the arid northwest of China. In 2014, another project started - the south to North Water Transfer Project, the construction of the reservoir and the canal network, and the introduction of trillions of gallons of water from the southeast to the north each year.
the government has also focused on reducing industrial water. For example, the authorities cooperate with Apple Corp in developing waste recovery plans. Since 2013, Apple Corp's China supply plant has saved 3 billion 800 million gallons of water.
reported that despite the various measures taken, China's water shortage is still "the most serious environmental crisis".
, therefore, michanna thinks that although the industry and government departments should take the responsibility of change, the role of the "eager declaration" organization is also important.
Mi Xiaona said: "there is a view that China is a polluter, and China does not care about pollution. The actual situation is far from that. Young people do pay attention to environmental problems. By exploring environmental issues, we can create a whole set of consumer economies that attach importance to the sustainability of water resources.
reported that Liu Bailin, a sixth middle school in Tongzhou, Beijing, had taken the lead. "Shortening bath time can save water," he said. As for more tea and less coffee... I don't actually drink tea and coffee. "
