National Energy Conservation Propaganda Week | Let Green and Low Carbon Seeds "Take Root and Sprout" - National Energy Conservation Propaganda Week on Campus to See Environmental Protection | Theme | Energy Conservation

During the 2023 National Energy Conservation Promotion Week, campuses across the country will focus on the theme of "Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction, Walking Together with Us" and take various measures to spread the concept of energy conservation and carbon reduction to students in a novel, vivid and interesting way.

On July 12th, at the Fourth Kindergarten in Guantao County, Handan, Hebei Province, teachers taught children about energy conservation and environmental protection through multimedia courseware, science popularization videos, and themed picture books during a themed class meeting. Subsequently, the children picked up their paintbrushes and creatively painted to depict their desire for water conservation.

In Jiangxi, a new class "Energy Conservation Committee" has been added to the North New District Primary School in Xunwu County, Ganzhou. They are not only promoters of green and low-carbon initiatives, but also responsible for organizing themed activities and promoting green and low-carbon knowledge; He is also a supervisor of ecological civilization, timely stopping and correcting waste and other phenomena, striving not to waste one kilowatt hour of electricity, a drop of water, or a piece of paper.

Recently, Yixian Second Middle School in Baoding, Hebei Province, through a series of activities such as the Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Initiative and the Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Action, advocated that students start from every small matter. Tian Yingpei, a student from Class 217, Grade 3 of high school, said, "When I first started school, I didn't have a strong sense of conservation. Nowadays, everyone's awareness of energy conservation is getting stronger and stronger. The last person to leave the class voluntarily turns off the air conditioning and lights. The cafeteria has added 'small portions of food', which allows me to eat more food for less money and avoid waste."

Outside the classroom, students actively participate in research and learning, experiencing "green fun" in practice.

"By counting the number of new energy vehicles passing by our homes within 30 minutes, we found that the popularity of new energy vehicles is increasing." At the energy-saving and low-carbon research activity in Guangzhou, Guangdong, the students of the first team are reporting their research results.

Liu Yingzi, Deputy Director of Guangzhou Energy Conservation Center, said that this energy-saving and low-carbon research course aimed at 117 young pioneers from 97 primary schools in Guangzhou is one of the 2023 Guangzhou Energy Conservation Promotion Series activities. "The energy-saving and low-carbon series of courses include energy-saving knowledge explanation, hands-on experiments, formulation of plans, field research, achievement reporting, and back to school preaching, striving to let the seeds of sustainable development and ecological civilization take root and sprout in students' hearts."

On July 12th, a volunteer service team organized by State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company came to Experimental Primary School in Fenghua District, Ningbo, Zhejiang to conduct practical classes for summer daycare students. Volunteers used animated courseware, small handicrafts, and other methods to tell elementary school students about green and energy-saving electricity knowledge, and made photovoltaic power vehicles by hand, embarking on a wonderful journey of electric science popularization and exploration.

Not only on campus, but also in many places, energy-saving propaganda is combined with labor education, allowing students to practice and experience the mysteries of natural ecological cycles and the significance of energy conservation and emission reduction.

The water system circulation system in the ecological plantation of Zhuangyuan Primary School in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province has aroused the interest of students. "The water system circulation system of the plantation collects the wastewater and rainwater generated by the direct drinking water dispenser, which is used for fruit and vegetable irrigation, achieving comprehensive utilization of wastewater." Zhao Ruishen, the principal of Zhuangyuan Primary School, explained to the students.

In the "Shiyan Garden" ecological education base of Ganjingzi Experimental Primary School in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, various vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, scallions, and spinach are planted on the land. Under the guidance of the teacher, the students put withered leaves, vegetable leaves, fruit pits, eggshells, etc. into the compost box and wait for the compost to slowly ferment. "The fermentation cycle of composting is about two months, and the compost piled up now can be irrigated on the land next semester." said Zhu Yulin, a student from Class 5, Grade 6, who learned how to turn waste into treasure through composting.

Not only primary and secondary school students, but also young students have sparked a trend of "starting from myself in energy conservation and carbon reduction" activities.

Dalian Tourism School has launched a collection of excellent proposals for "telling energy-saving stories" and "building water-saving schools", with over a hundred student submissions; Shenzhen University of Science and Technology widely promotes the concept of low-carbon living among students, guiding them to achieve energy conservation and consumption reduction through lifestyle changes.

Handan University has recently launched a "conservation oriented campus" construction activity, carrying out the "1+1 civilization, 100% improvement" civilized points action among teachers and students. At the end of the year, teachers and students with more points will be commended and rewarded.

"By carrying out various themed activities, we can turn the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection into concrete actions, guide teachers and students to form a simple, moderate, green, and low-carbon work and lifestyle," said Pan Lu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Handan University.
