Songhua River Chemical Disaster
Posted by on December 2nd, 2005I’ve been thinking a lot recently about water pollution in China. The recent explosion at Jilin Petrochina that sent 100 tons of benzene flowing down the Songhua River was horrifying. The pollution traveled through the massive city of Harbin and is now approaching Russia’s Amur River and the city of Khabarovsk. Friends in Khabarovsk say they are just hoping that the river will freeze more quickly than expected, potentially trapping the benzene in ice before it reaches the city. Check out our statement regarding the Harbin crisis here.
The statistics about China’s pollution are staggering: Sixteen of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in China. More than a quarter of China’s population lacks access to clean drinking water. Seventy percent of China’s rivers and lakes are considered to be polluted. Earlier this year, villagers rioted over water pollution, and such protests are becoming more and more common.
But there are hopeful signs. China’s central government has recognized that environmental degradation is becoming a barrier to economic prosperity. China’s government is becoming more open to civil society organizations, as the government realizes that it cannot solve these challenges itself. Environmental groups in China can play a vital role in helping villagers work with the government and companies to mandate enforceable pollution norms, gain just compensation, and close down the most egregiously polluting factories.
In short, we can’t ignore China’s pollution issues. What we can do is help local community groups in China have more of an impact in preventing the pollution from happening.

xiaozhu The Puma Shoes are some very comfortable kicks. Sometimes when i get off work and switch into street Gucci Outlet , its a total relief on my feet. Im a little flat footed so this shoe was a great buy. Had these for a few months and durabilty is great plus easy to keep these clean! Non team colors of Coach Purses 's always have a strong following, especially for older models. Probably one of the most exciting release since the Discount Gucci release is the GOOD SHOES. They were released in 2007, and sold Cheap Gucci very well. They feature a black durabuck upper, anti-inversion cross straps, a poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sleeve similar to the Nike Air Huarache. Purple and aqua Puma Store light up the back end of the shoe. These mugs go hard and i especially like the colors cause Coach Handbags' my favorite colors red, black, and white.
