| Every day, we read much about the degradation of our Earth’s environment
especially in Asia: the most populated and economically the fastest growing
region of the world. Polluted water and air, disappearing eco-systems,
increasing consumption of fossil fuels are a fact of life for billions of people
in Asia. But pitted against these challenges are some remarkable people
championing environmental protection, fighting negligent industry and complacent
governments. They are individuals trying to make a difference. Making a
Difference travels to Asia’s largest nations: China, India, and Indonesia to
meet some remarkable activists. Among them:
In China – a woman known as Auntie Yun is inspiring
others. Yun Jianli heads a vibrant non-governmental
organization called "Green Han River." She has
mastered the difficulties of dealing with a
Communist government suspicious of citizen groups. |
