The environment in the north of China has improved greatly since the government took measures to plant more trees. Beijing has not been experiencing as many sandstorms as it used to. There have been three sandstorms in Beijing since the beginning of this year. This is good considering that Beijing experienced more than a dozen sandstorms a year during the 1990s.
The Chinese government and the Chinese people are paying more attention to the environment now. Many trees have been planted in the west and even more will be planted over the next few years . The young trees are growing quickly. These trees will stop the soil from being carried away by strong winds. Unhealthy trees are cut down from time to time.
The villagers in the west have been highly involved in the project. They plant trees, water them, and make sure their cows do not knock them down or eat them. They have been trying their best to protect the trees. It’s hard work but they think it’s worth it.
