Notas do Editor
More than 70% of china’s urban waterways are said to be contaminated with chemicals and effluent
China is a coal based economy-- this massive consumption leads to heavy emssions of CO2 which is a major source of acid rain and a global-scale air pollution,. Its coastal waters and regional seas are suffering from an increasing burden of land-based pollution in many areas; Effects every single ecosystem
Addiontally Cities suffer from dangerously high levels of particle matter and green house gases, which effect health and leads to an increase of cancer and respiratory diesases
China, however, remains the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases, and is still the
world’s largest producer and consumer of ozone-depleting substances
Comprehensive environmental laws and MEA- including a clean air act, waste management act and solida hazadours waste act
11th 5th-year plan sets out ambitious targets for 20% increase in energy productivity by 2020. 16% of China’s energy from renewable sources
Overall 10% decrease in emissions by 2010
The main problem is that there lack of strong monitoring, inspection and enforcement capabilities, which leads to the lack of effectiveness of otherwise sound policies, laws and regulations

- implementation is important to systematically study as it is a key feature to the policy process and learning from implementation problems can foster learning about better ways to structure policies to ensure that they have the effects that designers of such policies seek.
- top down or bottom up approaches to implementatio
What i hope to accomplish is how one with appropriate mix of programs and polices to can help implement these sound environmental polices.
Behavior change can only take place in the context of an enabling and supportive environment.
To be able to fully adapt these environmental policies need to have own personal ability to understand the impacts of a poor environment has on health and overall wellbeing.
Environmental letters of complaints can be one indicator of environmental protection consciousness. Increase letters of complaints to the governments show increase concern and awareness of what can be done. Although there are no clause in the government laws that will allow
1998 150,000 letters
2004- 600,000 Letters
Since the 1970s with the fall of Mao and the “ opening-up” of the country one can see the runs parrell to an rise in environmental disputes fueled by a sense of indiviudal rights related to increasing openiness and prospering.
50,000 environmental disputes in May 2006 were reported, which ultimately threatens authority
June 2007 citizens of Xiamen a city at the southeastern coast known for it’s eco tourism industry demonstrated aganist the construction of a chemical factory in their city.
In May 2008, citizens of Chengu demonstrated against hte contrstucion of a pterochemcial facorty and oil refinery citing envionmental concerns.
These examples prove that the chinese have the mindset to adapt their behaviour and make a change in their own habits and lifestyle to save the environment from furhter degradation.
The chinese environmental awareness program conducted public environmental survey in 2007 providing details about environmental awareness,raise awareness through the whole nation and provide scientific data on decision making. the respondants were living in both urban and rural areas, ranging in age from 16-69. Exactly 3001 people from 20 provinces
Active Participation
18% participate in environmental public welfare activies
4% work to promote the environment
2% become a member of an NGO
Passive Participation
82% watch environment related programs and documentaries on the internet and TV
47% read environment related newspapers and magaziens
42% look at public welfare ads or slogans
25% Listen to related radio programs
18% recieve related handouts or maunuals on environmental protection
Model made in 2002 in their report called, Mind the Gap: Why do people act in environmentally and what are the barriers to thpro-environmental behaviour
They see environmental knowledge values and attidutes, together with emotional involvemnt as making up a complex, “pro-enviornmental consciousness”
They identify certain factors
Demographics- such as gender and years of education
Longer the education the more extensive the knowledge about environmental issues. But more knowledge doesn’t
Behavioral change is a process that involves both progress and period relapse. Like discussed before behavior change can only take place in the context of an enabling and supportive environment. We are using this model to understand my final possible solution to implementing environmental policy.
Social Features-
Cultural- behaviors and attitudes considered acceptable in given contexts
Ethical and Spiritual- influence of persnal and shared vvalues and disucssion about moral systems

Renewable Energy and Efficiently Education on Wheels
Propane Fueled Van
Educational Outreach Vehicle
Designed to educate students, teachers and the communti in Renewabe energy by proving handson demonstration to both the public and local schools.
2007- one Renew bus reached 65 teachers, 4600 students and 3695 consumers
Refurbished city bus that includes poster displays, shelves of infromational material, dislay areas for demonstration objects and a conference area. Two television screens for visual presetnations and onboard computer facilites. similar projects were found in Berling belgum and the Netherlands. The bus would travel to local commuities, schools, business and other public spaces
Energy bus was an overall success and attracted more than 25,000 visitors by 2004 and by completion 50,000 in 2005.
Those that visited the bus 30% said they wanted to implement the measures immediately whitle 56% said they would implement these measures sometime in the future
