Every Spring, dust storms from China’s northern deserts whistle towards Beijing. Called the Yellow Dragon, it can cover houses, cars and people, causing coughs and other ailments. As part of its drive to make 2008 the year of the Green Olympics, Beijing officials started a huge campaign to grow a 2,800 mile defensive line of forestry, called the Great Green Wall. Also part of the Green Olympics initiative was the added importance given to China’s National Tree Planting Day on 12 March. Many visitors to Beijing now comment on how visibly greener the nation’s capital has become.
