Primary Documents
[|Green Strategy] The State Environmental Protection Committee in China has begun to establish many strategies to prolong the life of their environment through clean production in factories, resource-use efficiency, reducing pollution, and green consumption. China was one of the leaders of sustainable development for the environment in 1992, after the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. The Environmental Resources Committee of the NPC has since established 57 laws and policies to prolong the life of the environment and created a "green strategy" to counteract the greater usage of natural resources.

[|Marine Protection] The Law on Protection of the Ocean Environment was made to manage the surveying, monitoring, assessing, and conducting of scientific research in the waters of China. It also constructs projects to end ocean pollution through dumping and other factors. Many marine reserves have been constructed along the coast of China to protect and maintain aquatic ecosystems in the waters surrounding China.

Artifacts
[|Environmental Neglect] A recent flood and landslide in Zhouqu County has led to the discovery of the main cause of the problem, excessive logging. The government of China has put a direct focus on economical advancement and has put the environment on the back burners. This is causing nationwide environmental damages, such as serious water pollution problems.

[|Environmental Problems in China] The dense overpopulation of China is causing extreme usage of resources that the world can't keep up with. The neglect of care for endangered animals has caused one quarter of the world's endangered animals to be currently living in China. Air pollution and water pollution are also killing thousands of people each year because of un-safe drinking water and respiratory diseases.

[|Environmental Issues] China is quickly becoming the worldwide leader of natural resource usage. Water pollution, red tides, the extinction of aquatic animals, and the degradation of the Yangtze river are causing diseases and the loss of life for the people of China because of the constant waste dumping in the river systems. New buildings that are being constructed are also requiring more energy and power to heat/cool and maintain.
