Clean rivers, blue skies the prize for defeating pollution
Print Edition
HEAVY polluting companies will be forced to eradicate smoke-spewing machines, while livestock farmers will be ordered to stop dumping raw sewage into rivers and streams, authorities in Jinshan said yesterday as they released a new plan to reduce pollution in the district.
Jinshan is home to many oil, chemical and manufacturing plants, all of which have played their part in polluting the environment. But all that is set to change.
Already, 500 companies have been ordered to review their processes and machinery, with many of those encouraged to go green.
Officials said that over the next two years they plan to free the district’s 190 kilometers of waterways of the foul odors and murky depths that plague them today.
While cracking down on the producers of toxic emissions, the government will also plant more trees and cultivate more public green spaces, it said.
