Unnecessary creation of waste
Chen Guangbiao, an entrepreneur who is also known as a "philanthropist", has suggested the authorities raise oil prices and parking fees drastically to reduce the use of cars. He has even tried to prove he is an "environmentalist" by smashing his Mercedes-Benz car. But Chen should know that there are better ways to protect the environment, says an article in Qilu Evening News. Excerpts:
Chen Guangbiao's actions, such as smashing his Mercedes-Benz, and suggestion to raise oil prices and parking fees, seem to promote green living. In reality, however, they are more like a show by a "performing artist" and a naked display of his wealth.
