Zero waste initiatives

The "zero-kilometer action", an initiative to promote zero waste control, was held recently in the Vanke Pavilion at the Expo Garden. Wang Shi, chairman of Vanke, one of the biggest real estate developers in China, took part in the initiative, sharing his thoughts and experiences on garbage reduction and environmental protection.

Wang reached the peak of Mount Everest on May 22 and planted the flag of Expo 2010 Shanghai. During this trip, all waste created by the climbers was taken back down the mountain, something Wang considers a "zero-kilometer action".
