More than 50 members attended the recruiting ceremony <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> EDA held last<br />

Friday and watched the movie Last Show on Earth, which concerned with<br />

environmental troubles. A brief introduction to the association and its task this<br />

semester was made and communication among its members was encouraged.<br />

―This is not the earth <strong>of</strong> ours, nor inherited from forefathers, but borrowed from<br />

<strong>of</strong>fspring. It‘s an arduous but glorious task to leave a beautiful home to descendants.‖<br />

announced EDA.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> Environment and Development Association (EDA), the first environmental<br />

protection association, was established in 1991. Several generations <strong>of</strong> EDA men<br />

have scored great achievements in the past 12 years, which can be read in its title <strong>of</strong><br />

―<strong>PKU</strong> Top Ten Students‘ Societies‖ for successive years. Instructed by College <strong>of</strong><br />

Environmental Science and Office <strong>of</strong> Environmental Protection, it has been well<br />

shouldering the task <strong>of</strong> both popularization and promotion. It has enrolled the largest<br />

membership, over one thousand, and reached a comparatively high level in scientific<br />

researches.<br />

In the previous year, EDA did a lot to arouse public awareness <strong>of</strong> environmental<br />

protection.<br />

Waste paper recycling bins in every dormitory building were highly praised.<br />

Environmental photo exhibitions displayed at Triangle drew the attention <strong>of</strong><br />

passers-by. Forum <strong>of</strong> the future <strong>of</strong> EDA focused on its own development in long run.<br />

Survey on disposable chopsticks on campus was carried out. Exhibition <strong>of</strong><br />

Mongolian environment and nomadic culture was given on April 22 ―Earth Day‖. The<br />

signs <strong>of</strong> ―Please Save Water‖ in washrooms <strong>of</strong> every building remind us <strong>of</strong> the<br />

shortage <strong>of</strong> water in Beijing City.<br />
