It sounds like most of the environmental efforts you noticed were just people choosing the cheaper option. Western countries’ residents just have more money to blow on wasteful things. I’m sure the wealthier Chinese still have similar wasteful bad habits.
I agree completely. They do spend money on wasteful things like we do, but they seem to be conscious with their spending on items like those I mentioned.
Sorry but I just don’t see those decisions as being purely environmental ones. If anything, Chinese people are just more resourceful and less concerned with appearances of things like their homes. So they are more willing to do things such as putting a solar panel water heater up.
I think there are lots of natural beauty sights to visit. Also the skyscrapers are eye catching. extreme engineering work done there. This is a really excellent read for me. Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw. Thanks for posting this useful article.
The most memorable impression China gives me is its beauty of mountains. I went to China once and I stayed in GuiLin during my trip. I can tell that it has the most beautiful natural scenery in China.
Its great to see that you went to China, hope you had a good time. I have always wanted to go and it looks like they are choosing environmentally friendly options. Do you think the haze in the cities is from all the pollution?
Glad you had a nice trip and good to know they are taking measures to protect the environment in China. With the boom in car sales there in recent years, I’ve been worried about how much of an impact it would have on their air pollution.
In China the major pollution problem is more to do with various businesses such as factories and mines. There simply aren’t enough environmental regulations for businesses. So lots of them take short cuts or save money at the expense of the environment. Their cars aren’t as big a problem as a smaller percentage of Chinese own a car. Many own a small car or a scooter.
Sounds like an amazing trip, you must have had a fantasic time. Loved the photograph of the Great Wall.
Really wonderful place to visit. I love the China wall more its really a awesome wonder. I hope you enjoyed a lot there. Thanks for sharing with all.
