News from the ongoing No. 1 session of the 13th People's Congress of Beijing is that Beijing will build 100 "Sunshine Schools" to strengthen the utilization of solar power.
Under the 100 Sunshine School Project, schools will be selected to use solar power street lamps, solar power lawn lamps, solar power bathrooms, solar power information boards and solar power clocks on a trial basis. The project also includes a batch of sample programs using solar power for heating and demonstration homes using renewable energy.
Beijing previously constructed solar power bathrooms in the rural areas of Yanqing, Huairong and Tongzhou to solve rural residents' bathing problems in the cold winter months.
The construction of the Sunshine Schools will not only promote the utilization of solar power and improve environment, it will also help educate youngsters about renewable energy and train the public about energy saving.
