Dear Pengbo:

Thanks for your comments. I agree that the pullution in the cities are quite serious. One time when we were walking through a city called Jinjiang in Fuzhou Province, I came across some factory and I could not breathe as the air was so bad.

However, I have met many, many people who are trying to solve the environmental problem in China, and I believe that once Chinese people get their act together, air, water and streets can be cleaned very quick.

In January, we will be walking through cities such as Fuzhou, Nanping and Wuyishan in Fujian Province, so if you have any friends who would like to help us or join us, walking a day or two, or planting trees in these areas, please contact us!

Together, we can make a difference!

Dear Xiumei:
Thanks for your comments. Together, we can make a difference, can make the world a better place. Yes. We do need great efforts to clean up China and many other parts of the world. But here in China we have noticed that when people recognise that things need to change things can change very quickly. The Olympics Games offers a wonderful opportunity for China to embrace the environmental movement and the alternative energies and technologies that are now available and to promote to its citizens the urgency to protect the environment, and the advantages that a protected environment will ultimately bring to China and the rest of the world.

If there is any way that you feel you can help us to spread the message of the Green Olympics throughout China, please feel free to contact us.
Go well

It is so important to offer people this visual presentation of what we mean by the word, "environment," in order to remind them it is not an abstract concept, but our surroundings. Putting it this way, defining "environmentalism" as taking care of one's surroundings, suddenly makes it much more obvious, for who does not believe it is in their interest to take care of their surroundings? Everyone agrees to that, and easily. But we sometimes need to see it to know what all the fuss is about. Thanks for showing us.
