Green Olympics needs public participation
From the Olympic Games getting closer and closer, showing good specific behaviors, and help the public as soon as possible to remove bad health habits, Beijing should welcome the Olympic Games of the moment. Is not important courtesy of the Olympic Games to eat Western food, said English, but smiling, courteous, WASH, observe rules, heavy environmental protection.
From the opening of the Olympic Games has only over 100 days. More than 2,300 days ago (July 13, 2001), all look forward to the success of China’s Olympic bid, regarded in Beijing to host the 2008 Olympics as a dream. Soon this dream will become a reality, we prepared?
A few days ago, I accompanied a just arrived in Beijing, will work this year in the American professors took to the streets shopping. Professor, I complained that a few days after the snowfall, he crashed twice. Beijing shop to use the adverse travel is smooth stone. , Said he now walk very carefully, because in his walk on the way to work, Koutan common ground. In the smooth stone, Koutan formed ice, his fall was caused by the ice. Professor’s home in Los Angeles, primary school children every day to talk with him. Children have very鐩兼潵Beijing vacation, life experience Beijing, Beijing there is a serious problem of spitting to reduce Beijing’s whims.
I said to Professor閭ｆ潯do on-the-spot inspection. It is a few homes in the Zhongguancun high-grade office space between the road, paving the way for artificial granite stone. As the professor said, on the ground Tanji can be seen everywhere. Away from the road, this road is the main pedestrian companies to white-collar office work, research staff and graduate students. Clearly, spitting on those with a higher education in the crowd.
And the developed countries compared to basic education, an important part of China’s missing is one of the students to specific “WASH” behavior guidance. In Europe and the United States, the basic personal hygiene behavior is three-fold: First, spitting Wu mouth with paper towel; second,涓婂畬鍘曟墍after their own toilet brush net; third, towels, rags and Dunbu to remain dry after use . Do this three things can prevent the spread of germs and breeding, the whole of society to reduce the incidence of infectious diseases, the citizens need to develop health habits. In China, the daily lives of these individuals, has been seen as a minor issue which had not been included in the content of education for all.
However, the Olympic Games and other international events different. In order to protect the health of athletes, the International Olympic Committee, governments, sports organizations, athletes and national audience are very concerned about the current state of the environment in Beijing. Beijing residents shown any adverse health behaviors, and will increase their period of the Olympic Games environmental quality concerns. Chinese-American professor who has visited China many times and met various Zangluancha scene. But this time he said to me, the issue of Beijing’s spitting it hard for people to tolerate.
Tuopufei former Executive Chairman of the United Nations Environment Programme, said: requirements of the Olympic Games to achieve environmental goals, we must have the knowledge and participation of citizens, the Government’s policy and planning, can be implemented successfully. Beijing is not the most citizens aware of and participation. Olympic bid, Beijing to the world to a four-point commitment to environmental quality: By 2008, the air particulate matter indicators have reached the level of developed cities, urban water quality consistent with the requirements of the WHO guideline value; MSW classification rate 50%; city green coverage to 45 percent. But these promises are not for the public to know, the people do not know they can to achieve these environmental commitments do.
From the Olympic Games getting closer and closer, showing good specific behaviors, and help the public as soon as possible to remove bad health habits, Beijing should welcome the Olympic Games of the moment. Is not important courtesy of the Olympic Games to eat Western food, said English, but smiling, courteous, WASH, observe rules, heavy environmental protection. The mass media of the Olympic columns, the public should be more practical environmental practices. Government departments should on the commitment to achieving environmental goals to encourage public participation in, for example, so that residents Zhihua grass cover bare soil to reduce dust; allow the property to the introduction of green water, to save water; placed plastic bags for shopping malls bins can reduce garbage. All these have helped to create with the Beijing Olympics Games in matching “clean, beautiful, harmonious, natural” urban environment. This is the dream of the people of Beijing, the world is the dream of visitors.
