The international environmental group Greenpeace has released its latest "Supermarket List for China" which shows that foreign-funded supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, Tesco, and Ito-Yokado rank at the bottom of the list in terms of green initiatives.

In a response to a Greenpeace report that said fruit and vegetables sold in four major supermarkets of Beijing contain high levels of pesticide, China's Ministry of Health has stated that all the fruit and vegetables sold in these supermarkets are fit for consumption.

Seven NGOs from China have jointly published a document in Beijing setting out their views and stance on climate change as well as their expectations for the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held Copenhagen.

According to a survey conducted by the eco-activist organization Greenpeace, 18 enterprises — including ten Chinese companies and eight multinational companies — have been involved in holding back information on pollution emissions.

Greenpeace recently published a report on pesticide residues in vegetables and fruit in China, which shows five kinds of fruit and vegetables contained extremely poisonous pesticide and produce sold in supermarkets contain higher level of pesticide residue than those sold in agricultural markets.

Greenpeace held a press conference in Beijing to accuse German chemical giant BASF of using double standards in environmental information disclosure in China.

Greenpeace says its activists boarded the Yang Ming Success and prevented the offloading of an illegal container of waste electronic devices from Port of Oakland in the United States, on its way to Sanshui district in mainland China, via Hong Kong.
