Recycling Legislation for
Household Electrical Appliances
It has been predicted that in this year alone, 5
million televisions, 5 million washing machines
and 4 million refrigerators will be replaced. In
addition, a large number of computers now face
retirement due to obsolescence. Consequently, how
to cope with the mountain of discarded electrical
appliances has become really a hard nut to crack.

China Faces Two Major Issues
in Population Control
Every
time Li Xiaoping thinks of the huge discrepancy
between the United States, Canada, Australia and
China in terms of population, resources and the
environment, the population problem weighs on him
heavily. China has 1 billion more people than the
U.S., moreover, "every year, the new births
equal the population of Australia, every 1.5
years new births equal the population of Canada."
"These simple numbers tell the Chinese
people, if we were to try to reach the same
levels as the developed countries in terms of
living standard [don't forget the family jet] and
environment quality, lowering the birth rate is a
crucial step," -China.org.cn linkThe changing face

China's Environmental NGOs
Historically in China, public awareness of
environmental protection has not been a strong
point. It was taken for granted that where there
were people, there would also be pollution. Here,
people’s thoughts would turn to concern for
environmental protection only after they were
adequately fed and clothed. -Wu Chenguang linkSolving the Chinese

 Water streams out from
sluice gates at a rate of 2,600 cubic meters per
second at the Xiaolangdi Reservoir on the Yellow
River, in central China's Henan Province,
Tuesday, July 2, 2002. Authorities are conducting
a 10-day campaign to flush silt from the middle
and lower reaches of the Yellow River in an
effort to reduce the risk of flooding. Every
year, 400 million tons of silt are deposited on
the riverbed, raising the riverbed level and
increasing the risk of flooding. (AP Photo/str)China's disguised
