technologies and systems to reduce pollution Now it is time for China to start a Clean Revolution in partnership with international practitioners (especially Overseas-Chinese for various reasons)to plan and implement a cost-effective program to achieve Chi ina s vision or a clean and healthy future The challenges are simply too great for any scientific, engineering or management organizations to undertake alone. Together, leaders in China must take steps to reach out to the people in communities and regions, and across the nation, learning a better way to manage China environment and natural resources. Any socioeconomic development will result in a certain impact sk to the nment, no matter the type of development Industry is the indispensable motor of economic growth, which must be sustainable. However, industry must produce more with less. This is a big and difficult challenge and responsibility for industry to fulfill in China. The benefits of pollution prevention will no happen automatically; they will require better environmental policies and planning, as well as more ducted workers and managers Despite the magnitude of environmental problems, China has an unprecedented opportunity to improve its environmental quality. Rapid economic growth in recent years makes Chinas financial capability for pollution management more attainable. High rates of investment can be applied to develop cleaner, more energy-efficient industries Management strategies that channel investment into pollution prevention and cleaner roduction, will increase material and energy efficiency, encourage conservation of scarce resources, reduce emissions, improve environmental quality, and lower pollution-related health costs. Pollution prevention helps further both the national environmental goals as well as industrys Interests Chinas environmental protection programs require well-trained scientific, technical and managerial personnel, the use of advanced management techniques and modern computer facilities Knowledge, information and skills empower people to transform natural resources into goods and services that satisfy basic needs, aspirations and development It is education that provides people with the knowledge, information and skills that are necessary to develop and implement cost-effective policies, strategies and programs. In essence, education is the driving force of human progress. The more we know about the changing environment, the more safely we can keep up with the changes All sectors of society have a role in protecting the environment in the process of development, production and service Academia must provide education/training, as well as new scientific and technical knowledge and information to enable decision-makers to take positive and ethical actions Government must establish and update environmental policies, regulations and standards based on the changing needs not only for industrial processes, but also for economic development transportation, agriculture, energy, and land use. Government should build the principles of pollution prevention into decisions for amending or creating policies and regulations for environmental enhancement and development Industry must develop and implement clean services, manufacturing processes and products that are aligned with the principles of pollution prevention. Industry will not only modify the existing products to make them less offensive to the environment, but also have to invent new products with environmental concerns beginning at the product conception.
