Sustainability in rural China?
Several organizations and universities have conducted experiments with rural villages in China in order to develop sustainable infrastructure. An article stated many successes came about through these case studies. One village was able to make a higher net income as well as reduce waste and lower their carbon output. Over half the villagers converted to cooking and heating with methane that is produced by the village’s cows. Now, what is the next step? China has some where around 3.2 million villages so how should the sustainable practices in the case study spread to other villages? The Chinese government will need to step up and take charge of this infrastructure conversion. The case studies proved the efficiency and the benefits so now development needs to be made to allow this education and technology to saturate China as a whole. This is will be no easy task but the Chinese have made a step in the right direction.
