“The furthest distance in the world is when I stand in front of you, but you can't see my face.” This widely circulated online remark vividly captures people’s frustration with the increasingly frequent smoggy days. On the recent World Earth Day, environmental protection once again became a hot topic of public concern. Environmental protection is not something that should only be valued on Earth Day—it should become a healthy living habit for each and every one of us. It is understood that for many years, China Eastern Airlines has consistently supported environmental initiatives and upheld eco-friendly principles through various practical actions. As early as 2007, China Eastern was the first to introduce disposable water cups, cutlery, and garbage bags made from natural biodegradable materials such as corn starch on all its flights, creating a fully green cabin environment. Recently, branches of China Eastern Airlines across the country have once again promoted environmental awareness on board, contributing their own efforts to the cause of “cherishing Earth’s resources, transforming development methods, using land and resources intensively and efficiently, and jointly protecting our natural ecological spaces.”
China Eastern Beijing Branch: “Green Cabin”
In recent years, with the increase in smoggy weather, how to tackle smog and purify the air has become a widely discussed hot topic. The Youth League Committee of the Cabin Department at China Eastern Beijing Branch organized young members to launch a “Green Cabin” environmental initiative. Flight attendants transformed waste materials from their homes into small potted plants, attached eco-friendly slogans to them, and presented these beautifully crafted plants to colleagues in various offices within the Cabin Department. Colleagues in the Cabin Department also left their own environmental pledges on the small eco-tree.
China Eastern hopes to once again raise everyone’s awareness of caring for the Earth, using resources rationally and effectively, and protecting the environment through its efforts. It hopes that everyone can start with small actions around them, integrate the concept of resource conservation into daily life through concrete actions, restore green to the Earth, and create a healthy and comfortable living environment for themselves.
