them are immediately put to the dustbin. Our Forest Song program will recycle the<br />

leaflets which used to be valueless, sort them out and return them to the<br />

associations,‖ one student responsible for the program was quoted as saying.<br />

Re-using raised the utility rate <strong>of</strong> leaflets, and thus significantly reduced the waste <strong>of</strong><br />

paper. As for the leaflets that could not be used again, they would be contributed to<br />

Forest Song‘s plan <strong>of</strong> ―turning wastes into trees,‖ another event for a low-carbon<br />

campus.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> students and faculties showed their appreciation and support for this program<br />

through active participation. A thick pile <strong>of</strong> leaflets was collected in just two hours.<br />

The elaborately-designed recycler also became a favorite scene with which young<br />

people took pictures.<br />

This enthusiasm accords with the forest song, a song that future leaders <strong>of</strong> the<br />

country and the whole world sing for a green globe.<br />

About Beida Linge (Forest Song <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong>) Program:<br />

Forest Song <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> started in the autumn <strong>of</strong> 2009 under the support <strong>of</strong><br />

Environmental Education Base for Chinese <strong>University</strong> Students (EEBCUS), and was<br />

the winner <strong>of</strong> North China Division <strong>of</strong> the Innovation on Environment Protection<br />

Championship organized by the All-China Youth Federation. ―Forest Song‖ literally<br />

indicates its aim to realize low-carbon ideals through the carbon gathering function <strong>of</strong><br />

forests. The program is made up <strong>of</strong> three major events - turning wastes into trees,<br />

innovation in promoting environmental protection and research on the topic <strong>of</strong><br />

low-carbon, in order to increase people‘s environmental awareness.<br />
