How about immigration to Canada in Minhang?

As the winner of the 2009 Bayer Young Environmental Journalist Award, the reporter was lucky enough to go to Germany with four Bayer Young Environmental Ambassadors and spent an unforgettable week. During their time together, the reporter felt the power of China's new generation of environmental protection from the words and deeds of the four special envoys, and was deeply moved by their words and deeds. In a foreign country, these four youthful and confident faces seem to be fresh and green inadvertently, growing luxuriantly in the wind and rain. ...

Liu Junmei

Pay attention to the low-carbon life of the post-80s generation.

"Changing a healthy diet will not only help your health, but also greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This is the most practical low-carbon environmental protection action that everyone can participate in. "

Liu Junmei comes from the northeast of China. The three years of studying at East China Normal University in Shanghai have made this northern girl's temperament a bit more "Shanghai style". The fluent American pronunciation and extremely fast speech speed in the format of "Entrepreneurship Project Plan" surprised the listener that she was not from an English-speaking country, and her profound understanding of western culture enabled her to communicate with foreign friends easily. On the other hand, when she danced China traditional music in jasmine, the standard folk dance immediately showed the girl's Chinese beauty.

Liu Junmei

Grow up happily in a democratic and relaxed family environment. She told reporters that she began to receive early English education when she was 3 years old. Liu Junmei paid attention to environmental protection since he was a child, which also deeply influenced his choice and planning of life. With excellent grades, she chose "Ecology" of East China Normal University when she applied for the college entrance examination, and was admitted as she wished.

In the systematic professional study, Liu Junmei put the concept of environmental protection into social practice, and she and her companions carried out the research on the topic of "water-saving campus construction". During this period, they distributed more than 500 questionnaires to many universities in Minhang District, Shanghai. Through the field investigation of university canteens and logistics centers, they got the answer that there is water waste in universities at present.

It is also based on this research that she deeply thought about solving the problems found in the project of "building a water-saving campus". She told reporters that environmental protection that all the people can participate in is the real environmental protection. To this end, she suggested changing the original diet structure according to a reasonable diet structure-eating more fruits and vegetables and appropriately reducing the intake of meat products. "As long as you change a healthy diet, it will not only help your health, but also greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and save energy." She said, "This is the most practical low-carbon environmental protection action that everyone can participate in."

Liu Junmei also told reporters that an unreasonable diet will directly lead to a surge in obesity. The medical expenses for chronic diseases caused by obesity will bring a heavy burden to the economic development of China. She said that energy conservation and emission reduction is not only a matter for the government and enterprises, but each of us can contribute to it. If every citizen can actively change his diet structure and small eating habits, we can greatly improve the living environment of young entrepreneurs. Starting from the daily diet, eat nutrition, eat health, eat energy-saving and low-carbon green society.

When she explained her environmental protection concept to the reporter, the reporter was deeply shocked by the girl's thinking angle. In today's China, environmental protection has been given more new meanings by the new generation. "Paying attention to low-carbon life" and "sustainable development" are their first choices.

Liu Junmei, currently a junior, has passed the TOEFL test. She told reporters that her advantage in language is to better let the world know about China today. "Many friends around me have chosen to immigrate, and every excellent one is another excellent' copy'. But I won't choose such plagiarism. What I can do is to learn my major well and become an environmental worker. Studying abroad will only be an experience of my life, because my roots will always be in China. I am glad that I have caught up with a good era. I am convinced that in today's China, what we have learned will definitely make a difference. " Liu Junmei said.

Lin Hong

Environmental education begins with loving children.

"Lin Hong Environmental College Students' Happy World Education begins with loving children. When I first saw Lin Hong, I felt that she was like a child who didn't grow up. Although he is nearly 1.7 meters tall, his words and deeds are full of childlike interest. "

The first time I saw Lin Hong, I felt that she was like a child who had not yet grown up. Although he is nearly 1.7 meters tall, his words and deeds are childlike and lovely. When our group was waiting for boarding at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, she was still practicing playing clarinet for a German cultural performance. In the amazing eyes of everyone, she is doing her own thing in a very calm state, which makes it hard to imagine that this girl is studying chemistry.

According to the arrangement of this activity, after the youth envoys from all countries gather in Germany, there will be a cultural performance to convey their own culture by performing their own programs. Lin Hong didn't know how to play clarinet, but she thought flute could better reflect the traditional culture of China, so she chose to challenge herself.

The senior student of Zhejiang University chose to study chemistry because of his special childhood experience. Lin Hong told reporters that her hometown is a small town in Jiangxi, with beautiful personal business loan conditions. When I was a child, there were blue sky, white clouds and clear rivers. With the acceleration of industrialization, many enterprises have settled by the river. When the river became dark and smelly, Lin Hong listened to the adults and stopped playing by the river. She was very disappointed and asked her parents, "Why can't we play by the river?" The parents replied, "This river is polluted by harmful things." "What is that that pollutes our rivers?" The helpless expression of parents makes the girl remember it vividly. "Maybe my own experience many years ago made me make this decision!" She said.

Lin Hong has infiltrated into Zhejiang University's school-level environmental protection association-Zhejiang University Student Lvyuan Association since she entered school. In the practice of many environmental protection projects, she thinks that what she is best at is to carry out environmental education in primary schools. After four years in school, she and many primary schools in Hangzhou have long carried out the environmental education project of "holding hands with big hands". Through pictures, videos, theme games and hand-made, she promoted the concept of low-carbon life to primary school students and parents, introduced the lifestyle of setting up new projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and stimulated their enthusiasm for environmental protection. As a result, the children also fell in love with this sister.

Lin Hong told reporters that he likes children very much, their innocence, their innocent eyes and the way to get along with them. Indeed, during his stay in Germany, whether at the airport or on the train, whenever there are children, Lin Hong will be happy to take the initiative to talk. And she does have such charm that children can easily accept her and are willing to communicate with her.

She believes that the establishment of the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction should first start with environmental education. She firmly believes that the development of environmental protection can not be separated from environmental education, and the influence of children, a new force in environmental protection, can never be ignored. Because children are still in the stage of forming behavior and shaping thinking, it is more efficient to cultivate their environmental awareness from an early age than to spend a lot of time to reverse the established behavior habits of adults. In addition, she believes that taking the advantages and disadvantages of college students' self-employment as a bridge and letting them influence their parents to enhance their awareness of environmental protection in their own way can achieve better publicity results.

At present, this senior girl has got the opportunity to go to Canada to study for postgraduate and doctor. She told reporters that in the next five years of studying in a foreign country, she would take every opportunity to study environmental education abroad, and hoped that her future career would combine her professional knowledge with her hobbies. "If a person can do what he loves and is good at, even if it is ordinary, it will be intoxicating." When Lin Hong looks forward to the future, her eyes are as pure as children.

Wang Yaqin

Actions are far more convincing than words.

"When you realize the importance of environmental protection and want to promote the concept of environmental protection, you must first set an example. As long as you persist, you can get more people involved. "

"I like the feeling of breeze, which can blow away the dust of troubles; I like the yellow leaves, which is a free and easy relief; I like to sit alone in the wind, let the breeze blow my hair and feel the purest care from nature ... "

This is a poem that the reporter saw in Wang Yaqin's notebook. Her shy smile often can't hide her inner happiness. This senior girl from Chongqing University is handsome in appearance and quiet in character. On behalf of universities in western China, she stands out from many young ambassadors.

This girl loves not only writing poems but also painting oil paintings, and is good at guzheng. She is versatile but quiet as a wild rose, always giving people surprises and touches inadvertently.

Wang Yaqin's good accomplishment and quality originated from her rich family in her childhood. She studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Later, due to the frustration of family investment, Wang Yaqin and his parents moved from Hubei to Chongqing and started a new life. She said that when she moved from the beautiful and clean suburbs of Hubei to the industrial city of Chongqing, she witnessed the negative impact of environmental pollution on people's lives. Therefore, she chose to apply for the environmental engineering major of Chongqing University and decided to enhance the environmental awareness of people around her and do something to improve the environment through her own efforts.

In his spare time, Wang Yaqin actively collects used batteries from his classmates. Because of the harm of waste batteries to water and soil, she suggested: "A set of systematic files should be established for waste batteries, and the serial numbers given by battery manufacturers should be tracked and managed when leaving the factory. If companies that produce batteries can recycle used batteries, the government can also take tax breaks and other measures to encourage them. "

During the winter vacation of her sophomore year, she also volunteered to participate in the first national pollution source survey in Renhe Town, Yubei District, Chongqing. Her team visited and investigated 14 enterprises including key pollution sources and general pollution sources. Every week, she takes the first school bus from school to her destination, and doesn't go back to school until the light is on. It takes more than two hours to travel unilaterally. This kind of work lasts from winter and summer vacation to April of the following year.

Wang Yaqin also mobilized his roommates to make waste paper recycling bins, hoping to recycle paper. Recently, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there are more and more waste paper in the waste paper box downstairs in the dormitory. Many girls in the same building who don't know about college students' entrepreneurial projects will consciously put waste paper into this waste paper box.

When learning that mineral water bottles are white garbage, and its raw material PVC is difficult to degrade in soil, Wang Yaqin and several students use their spare time to collect empty bottles in campus, stadiums and classrooms. "At first, we felt embarrassed, but when we realized the importance of this work, we wouldn't feel embarrassed. We can collect 20~30 empty bottles at a time. When we took several bags full of empty bottles to the recycling station, I was pleasantly surprised to find that our behavior inadvertently affected many students. " Wang Yaqin told reporters happily.

The change of family circumstances did not affect the girl's positive attitude towards life, but made her cherish the beauty in life more. She said that actions are far more convincing than words. "When you realize the importance of environmental protection and want to promote the concept of environmental protection, you must first set an example. How can you ask others to do it if you can't do it yourself? " Wang Yaqin said.

She also told reporters that although her self-employment is limited, as long as she persists, more people can participate. She believes that one day she can find a clean and beautiful paradise in her childhood.

Mao Yu bing

Like to spread the concept of environmental protection in a unique way.

"Low carbon is a lifestyle with low energy consumption, low consumption and low expenditure. The most direct and effective contribution we can make to environmental protection is to reduce carbon emissions. "

Mao is a senior student in the Department of Foreign Languages of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, and he is also the only boy who went to Germany as a young envoy of Bayer. Before meeting him, the reporter knew that he not only spoke very good English, but also spoke fluent German. When I met him at Shanghai Pudong Airport, he was surrounded by classmates who came to see me off, which also made the reporter feel his good popularity.

This cheerful boy is always the most active one in the team. With the advantage of language, he shuttled among the young envoys of various countries, and soon formed an indissoluble bond with friends in 19 countries.

Mao likes to spread the concept of environmental protection in his own way. In the eco-summer camp of Bayer Youth Circle's touching online love story envoy, he played a middle-aged woman who became a little neurotic due to environmental changes. His realistic acting and profound connotation made all the audience laugh. But after laughing, people will fall into deep thought. What the hell is this?

Mao can make people remember his reason at the first time-simple but not superficial.

He also turned himself into a bird in an environmental protection sketch, telling the changes of environmental pollution to life from his own perspective. Through such intuitive changes, he issued an appeal: "Low carbon is a lifestyle with low energy consumption, low consumption and low expenses. From now on, the most direct and effective contribution we can make to environmental protection is actually how much carbon is saved! " He told people in his own way that low carbon is around us.

At the exchange site of special envoys from various countries, each special envoy will go on stage to talk about his own environmental protection experience. In the process of telling, Mao naturally took off his coat and revealed the green T-shirt inside. Pointing to the environmental protection sign on the T-shirt, he told everyone that the dress he was wearing was dressing the summarized by his university student village official at the environmental protection organization of the school last month. From style to logo, he and his companions designed it themselves.

He told reporters that he lived in Chongming County, Shanghai since he was a child, and he came to Shanghai only after he was admitted to the university. Modern urban facilities and fast-paced lifestyle made him like Shanghai today. But his only regret is that today's Shanghai can no longer feel the fresh air of Chongming. He likes cities, but he thinks that the city of hope can bring comfort and ease to human life, and the environment is the basic condition for a high-quality life. So he is concerned about environmental protection and climate change around him.

I remember that there was hail in Shanghai at the turn of spring and summer in 2009. The unusual climate caught his attention. He took it with a digital camera and posted it on a popular community forum, which made many netizens participate in the discussion of climate change. In this process, he himself conducted in-depth research and thinking on the relationship between climate change and environmental pollution. During the interview with Bayer's Youth Messenger, he showed the examiner pictures of these rural money-making projects and told his feelings. His carefulness and concern for the environment finally won him high marks in the interview.

In summer, Mao "enjoys" the sunshine sauna in the dormitory on the 6th floor, and he is too hot to sleep. It suddenly occurred to him that if trees were planted on the roof, it might greatly reduce the scorching sun of the residents living on the top floor. Therefore, after careful investigation and analysis by him and his companions, it is found that the indoor temperature of the roof can be reduced by 2~3℃ after planting green plants on the roof. To this end, he came up with a highly operational "green roof" planning book, which persuaded the school to improve the living environment of students living on the top floor. Later, in the hot summer, he and his companions shuttled through the streets of Shanghai to promote their "green roof" plan to more units.

At present, what excites him is that many departments are willing to implement their "green roof" plan. No matter what the future result is, he decided to continue to do it as always. "It's cooler indoors, so you don't have to turn down the air conditioner. If the human body can adapt, then turn off the air conditioner! " He imagined happily, "didn't we save more carbon?" Isn't low carbon around us? "

Interview notes: environmental protection is in life.

When I come back from Germany, I often think of these four lovely college students. I admire their persistence and love for the environment. They are all born in 1980s and come from ordinary families, but they have made environmental protection and low carbon a part of their lives.

Hao Yuan from the public relations department of Bayer (China) Co., Ltd. told me that as the project executor of the young messengers, she has been paying attention to the growth of these messengers for a long time, tracking and visiting their development and current situation. In the seven years since this project was launched, among the 1 19 special envoys in China, many people have chosen to engage in environmental protection-related work, some have joined the internship of the United Nations Environment Programme, some have started their own environmental protection companies, and more people have chosen to become environmental protection volunteers in other industries.

They are like green seeds, spreading the hope of environmental protection all the way, influencing the growth and success of college students in their own way, and more people are involved; They are a new generation of low carbon and an important force for the whole society to promote environmental protection. They are conveying a hope with silent power: in today's China, environmental protection is not just a gimmick pursued by a few people, but a normal lifestyle of more ordinary people.
