Loufeng Sub-district exemplified a series of good practices in raising the public's awareness of environmental protection in its recent events to mark the Arbor Day, which is annually observed on Mar 12 in the country.

Tuanjie Community organized an event in early March, when a succulent cultivation expert taught the child participants to plant and take care of succulents.

Wencuilu Community carried out a campaign in a local park on Mar 12. On the site decorated with banners bearing environmental protection slogans, the volunteers explained in detail the significance of environmental protection and offered tips on daily environment maintenance. They called on the residents to use non-phosphorous detergents, protect greening zones and do whatever they can to protect the environment. The residents signed their names on the banners and promised to adopt an environment-friendly lifestyle.

Yangdonglu Community hosted a hiking on the same day. The participants walked nearly 7 km along Yangfan Road amidst chats and laughters, demonstrating a healthful lifestyle. They also partook in the "Ant Afforestation Campaign", an on-line program that allows people with low-carbon behaviors to cultivate virtual trees to raise money for off-line tree planting projects.
