Recognizing that education is the power of social advancement, and environmental education should start from children, we advocate the “Children’s Education for Secondary Forest” program to build the “paper library” with recovered paper and design resources of paper mills in rural elementary schools. With these paper libraries, we hope that children can come in contact with paper, understand that paper desks, chairs, and bookshelves are made with recovered paper, and learn the importance of forest conservation and environmental protection, for the sustainable good of the city we live.
