BEIJING, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of
the 49th Earth Day in Beijing on
April 22, 2018, the public benefit
event -- Earth Day 2018 -- was co-organized by the
International Green Economy Association, the Center for
Education and Communications of the Ministry of Land and Resources,
and the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development
Foundation. Sha Zukang, former
United Nations Under Secretary General,
Deng Guoping, Director General of
the Center for Education and Communications of the Ministry of Land
and Resources, Zhou Jinfeng, Secretary General of the China
Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, Huang
Saimei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working
Committee of Beijing Central Business District, Wang Han, Founder of Shi Xian, an initiative
focused on making the most of the time that is available to each
and every one of us, and CEO of Free Will (Beijing) Culture & Technology Co., Ltd.,
as well as industry insiders and guests from both in and outside of
China came together to demonstrate
the latest trends in and increase public awareness of the benefits
of a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Among the
various events of the day, the interactive session
"Environmentally-Friendly Life – My Seven Promises to
Protect Our Earth" drew the most attention, due to the
lively and creative discussions that took place during the
event.
The session started with the large-scale art installation
depicting Earth Day, "Time Zones in Future", co-created by the
International Green Economy Association, Wang Han and Milan-based designer Mellinda. The organizers, guests and
participants from around the world made known their wishes as to
what could be done to protect the environment against the backdrop
of the art installation. The installation, consisting of seven
squares of fabric, each one representing a country in a different
time zone, demonstrates by way of a novel yet elegant approach what
people of different races, backgrounds, jobs and ages imagine as a
future environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Wang Han shared her opinions concerning the art
work and articulated her Seven Promises, followed by former
United Nations Under Secretary General's
expression of wishes for a greener world representing China's time zone and the time zones of
countries that followed China as
they entered the new day, setting the stage for the start of an
animated discussion with the attendees.
Under the guidance of Wang Han,
guests and attendees made their wishes for an
environmentally-friendly lifestyle based on seven units of time -
what could be achievable within an hour, a day, a week, a month, a
season, a year and seven years - and followed these with wishes
from guests visiting from France,
the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain
and Norway, to form a complete
"earth consisting of wishes" as an expression of their hopes for
world peace. Gifts in the form of a "time coin" give-away at the
event acted as a simple reminder for each and every one of us to
protect our great planet.
