Chongqing - The National Environment Day event, themed "Beautiful China, I am A Pioneer," was held in the mountainous and riverside city of Chongqing. Notably, the event achieved its "zero-carbon" target through fully paperless operations, resulting in a 8.58-ton reduction in carbon emissions. Furthermore, all credentials were crafted from plantable "seed paper." Attendees simply needed to tear open their badge and plant it in moist soil to witness a sprouting miracle within about seven days – the emergence of a lavender plant.
The event commenced with a grand spectacle depicting the harmonious coexistence of all things within the majestic mountains and rivers of the Ba-Yu region. The "See Beautiful China Here" exhibition showcased nationwide examples of beautiful cities, villages, rivers, lakes, bays, blue skies, and mountains. Among these, Chongqing's Jinyun Mountain was presented as the "Beautiful Mountains" case study.
