Blue skies pave way for green lifestyles

I have developed the habit of walking to work and for leisure if weather and distance permit. My smartphone counts the steps I take every day and sometimes I compare the record with my friends.

When I was assigned to cover this year's annual sessions of the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, I worried that the busy schedule of interviews might prevent me from sustaining my green lifestyle.

On Friday, an idea occurred to me: I could abandon door-to-door taxis and take the subway to meeting places and interviews during the coming days.
