The 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics.Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image,as we can't deny the fact that Beijing,at the moment,is not as green a city as what we like it to be.Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing.Big efforts have been made in pollution control,replanting and beautification of the city.According to a project entitled" The Green Olympic Action Plan",between 1998 and 2007,Beijing,we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment.Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road.By then,the city's green area will make up 40% of its total.The city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents,controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
