Zhejiang Launches “Green Power Ark” Initiative: Reading Together for the Planet

On the April 20th, ahead of the 56th World Earth Day and the 30th World Book Day, relying on the “Green Power Ark” public welfare project of State Grid Corporation of China, the Taizhou Power Supply Company—together with the Huangyan Branch of Taizhou Ecological  Environment Bureau, the Beicheng Street Party Working Committee, and the Huangyan District Environmental Protection Volunteers Association—focused on the theme “When Earth Day Meets Book Day:  Read for the Earth Together.” The event featured a public reading campaign on the banks of the Yongning River, advocating green reading, enhancing public awareness of environmental protection, and  fostering a positive social trend of caring for the Earth and promoting knowledge.  

Staff from the Taizhou Power Supply Company encouraged public participation in the “Reading for the Earth” activity

The “Green Power Ark” public welfare project by the State Grid Corporation of China focuses on protecting the main habitats of rare species. By building a green power supply system in and around these habitats, it provides reliable clean energy and digital tools to support biodiversity research and conservation practices.

Using the “Green Power Ark” as a bridge, the Taizhou Power Supply Company integrated green reading with ecological protection concepts, allowing participants to enjoy the pleasures of reading while personally experiencing the benefits of green electricity and gaining a deeper understanding of ecological conservation. At the event site, a book on natural ecology and environmental protection drew the interest of many citizens. 

Currently, the Taizhou Power Supply Company is carefully planning a biodiversity conversation zone, offering strong support for advancing green development and promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. (Written by Feng Jing)
