You may have known several kinds
of police --- traffic police, fire police and street police. But have you ever
heard of energy-saving(节能) policeman?
A group of 22 energy-saving
policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the
use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public
places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air
conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26℃.
They also set up a special phone
line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.
“If everyone sets their air
conditioning at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million
kilowatthour of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usages
of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiansu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.
As one of the fastest developing
countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the
country’s environment and limited(有限的) energy.
From 1986 to 2005, the country
experienced 20 warm winters continuously(连续). Numbers show that
Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving environmental problems
every year.
At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20%
and increase renewable(可更新的) energy up to 10%
from 7% by 2010.
To introduce the public to a
green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and
productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that
helps collect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention. “We want to tell
people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can
find effective ways to do it on our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an
environmental engineer in Beijing.
