Hangzhou, a city in East China, held the 2019 World Environment Day celebrations. It sets an example for air pollution control.
Over the past ten years, Hangzhou government has been improving bike-friendly infrastructure for cyclists. A smart card allows users to easily use all kinds of public transport. "There have been 760 million rides in total, and that's almost half the population of China," says an officer. "So far, more than 400 cities in China have chosen our project. Our dream is to promote our mode across China and all over the world." As a result, cycling has become a popular choice for both local citizens and tourists, and the efforts of the Government-run company have been praised by many countries in the world.
As well as leading the Chinese cycling return, Hangzhou is also home to a creative way to encourage more green lifestyles. It puts an app called Ant Forest into use which is helping to stop desertification, cut air pollution and plant millions of new trees.
The “Ant Forest” mini- program is a Hangzhou based project from Chinese payment app Alipay. It encourages users to take small, environmentally friendly actions in their daily life, such as cycling rather than driving to work, walking or recycling clothes. When users perform any carbon-reducing activities, they are rewarded with "green energy" points. As they have enough points, a real tree will be planted. According to Ant Financial, more than 100 million trees have been planted by now.
Hangzhou's achievements in environmental protection are just a small part of those in China. China's consistent efforts battling the air pollution have paid off.
