June 5 is World Environment Day. This makes us pay more attention to our environment and the
need to protect it. When Wang Boxuan,a Beijing high schoolboy, uses up his exercise books, he
doesn't throw them away. Each one is stored at his school with hundreds of exercise books given by
other students. Then they are sold to a Beijing paper making factory.
The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school. At the same time, the
money made from the sales goes towards schools in Inner Mongolia for planting trees and grass. This
place is one of the sources of the sandstorms that often attack Beijing during springtime.
Wang's school is one of the schools in the capital that take part in the "green promise" environmental
protection activity, so far, nearly 210,000 students have taken part in the activity, collecting more than
87 tons of waste paper.
Before the Olympic Games came to Beijing in 2008,students were eager to help make the capital a
more pleasant place.
"There are some environment problems in the city, such as sandstorms," said Wang. "We should do
our duty and encourage others to do so as well. ”
