As World Earth Day approaches on April 22, young eco-warriors in Beijing are reimagining environmental activism with creativity and heart. Instead of just planting saplings, children across the capital have crafted vibrant \"Trees of Hope\" using recycled materials—turning trash into stunning art installations 🎨!
\"It's like a superhero origin story, but for trees!\" laughed CGTN's Julian Waghann, who toured a recent exhibit showcasing the projects. From soda-can bark to cardboard branches, each piece highlights how everyday waste can transform into symbols of sustainability. 🌍♻️
The initiative, blending art and eco-education, aims to spark conversations about climate action. One 12-year-old participant told us: \"My tree has bottle-cap leaves. It shows we can make beautiful things without hurting the planet.\" 🙌
As temperatures rise globally, these tiny but mighty efforts remind us that innovation—and hope—can grow anywhere. Who knew saving the Earth could look this cool?
