A plan of action was made to help reduce the water usage and create more awareness among the students about the importance of clean water and improved economic usage. Employees installed special valves at the 210 taps, repaired leaking water pipes and pasted conservation stickers above the taps, providing information about the use of water. On June 5, 32 volunteering employees arrived at Lanfang’s Cultural Center to prepare for the cleaning of 7.5 km of polluted river. Our volunteers worked in teams of two, one person using the special tool to collect the debris from the water and the other one to handle the safety rope to keep his or her teammate safe. The bags in which the garbage was deposited were afterwards delivered to the garbage collections.
