District keeps on leading ecological way

MINHANG was recently listed as one of the pilot nation-rated eco-green districts. It has won awards in the past for being a "national ecological district" but the new listing takes it up a level.

Minhang has launched a series of eco-campaigns among its residents and enterprises since 2001.

In 2004, it set up a 1,994-square-meter office tower powered almost entirely by a solar system. Its energy use is 75 percent less than conventional offices. A 400-square-meter apartment powered by solar and wind power was built in 2005.

Since 2002, a total of 596 enterprises which failed to meet ecological standards were forced to close. Minhang has won prizes such as the "National Garden City," "China Model of Ideal Living Environment" and "National Sanitation District."
