With his drawing in his hand, twelve-year-old Zhang Wenpeng said that people must wake up to the fact that pollution is causing damage to the progress we've made.

His classmate from the same primary school in the hilly countryside of western China, eleven-year-old Zhou Zhiyun, has painted a big shining light, with the message that people must not waste electricity.
The students were members of a project to discuss “changes in the climate all over the world and what we can do about them”.
The school suggested that the students should pass on what they have learnt in school to their parents and neighbours.
“I told my family why we should turn off the light when we leave a room,” said one student.

“Education is important and can help children and young people change their habits. At the same time, they can pass on knowledge to their neighbours,” said a director of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
