Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. Chai Jing, a former news hostess with CCTV, discussed it in her documentary Under the Dome.

The 103-minute film was published on websites on Feb 28, 2015. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil is the main cause of PM2.5 and smog.

To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) to pollute the air.

To solve the problem, Chai suggests that factories should clean our coal and oil, or replace them with cleaner energy.

In her film, Chai also thought that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see something that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it.

What can we do to help beat the smog?

● Take public transportation.

● Call the hotline 12369 for complaints about environmental problems.

● Clean the cooking area regularly to avoid extra harmful gas.

● Take a picture of any pollutant source and post it on your social media accounts.

● Remember to add “@local environmental departments” on weibo.

● Don’t buy products made from factories that pollute the environment.

Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. He said, “This film encourages us to care more about the environment. This is what we need in the future.”
