Hey there, future environmental champions! π Did you hear the exciting news? The Chinese mainland is making big strides in cleaning up the environment, and it’s something worth cheering about! π
Cleaner Air! βοΈ
The air is getting cleaner! In the past year, the Chinese mainland saw an increase in the number of days with good air quality. Imagine being able to breathe fresh air almost every day! π The percentage of days with clean air went up to 87.2%, which means more blue skies and fluffy white clouds.
Not only that, but the number of days with heavy pollution dropped to just 0.9%. That’s less than 1% of the year! π₯³
Healthier Water! π§
Water quality is improving too. The rivers and lakes are becoming cleaner, which is great news for all the fish π and plants πΏ that live there. The groundwater and seawater are also staying healthy.
Safer Soil! π±
The Chinese mainland is also working hard to take care of the soil. By reducing heavy metals in the ground, the soil is becoming safer for growing crops πΎ and flowers π·.
Looking Ahead! π
All these amazing efforts mean that the Chinese mainland is on track to meet its environmental goals set in their 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025). And they’re not stopping there! Looking ahead to 2025, they’re planning to make the air even cleaner by reducing tiny particles called PM2.5. These particles are so small that thousands of them could fit on the period at the end of this sentence!
What Can We Do? π
Isn’t it awesome to see countries making the world a better place? We can all learn from these efforts and do our part to help the environment too! Maybe plant a tree π³, recycle β»οΈ, or ride a bike π² instead of taking a car.
Every little action counts! Let’s all work together for a greener, healthier planet. π
