Beijingers in WED campaign

(BEIJING, June 4) -- To mark the World Environment Day, various activities were held in China's capital city on Sunday.

At Dongdan intersection, volunteers taught passersby the nuts and bolts of trash sorting and recycling, so that these could be seen putting their used plastic bottles or batteries into separate containers.

The pupils of Xiaowei Elementary School in Dongcheng District clothed themselves in abandoned plastic bags and newspapers and called on passerby to save energy, cut carbon dioxide emissions and protect the environment.
