"Earlier this year, the Chinese government announced plans for a major
reforestation project—growing 6.66 million hectares of new forests this
year, an area roughly the size of Ireland."

Good to see. Other countries should do more of this!



"Taiwan's Environmental Protection Agency, in cooperation with a number
of environmental organizations, proposed an ambitious 12-year timeline
Tuesday to eliminate four types of single-use plastics—takeaway beverage
cups, drinking straws, shopping bags and disposable tableware—by 2030 to
tackle plastic pollution."
