Six Girls Wearing Gas Masks in Sanmenxia Refuse Pollution and Advocate for Green Life

      On the evening of August 11, 2015, at a corner of Hubin Square in the downtown area of Sanmenxia, a square performance art show featuring six girls wearing gas masks and holding promotional boards such as "I want fresh air", "Reject noise pollution", and "Reject second-hand smoke" attracted the attention of many citizens.

      At around 7 pm that evening, accompanied by cheerful music, six girls wearing gas masks entered people's sight. They held beautifully crafted exhibition boards, accompanied by fashionable and dynamic street dance and humorous body language, to show the harm of air pollution to the human body to the citizens, advocating for the general public to reject air pollution, cultivate good living habits, and bravely become environmental protection experts. The short two-hour performance drew continuous applause, and the atmosphere on site was very lively.

      It is understood that this environmental protection public welfare activity was initiated by a non-governmental organization in our city, with the aim of making more people aware of the harm of air pollution to the human body, providing citizens with some convenient and feasible life tips, starting from little by little, to change the living environment and promote healthy living. "The harm of indoor air pollution should not be underestimated. It is recommended that people choose non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free decorative materials when decorating their homes. After decorating a new home, do not rush to move in and leave it empty for a month or several months under ventilation. Effective indoor air purification facilities can also be selected to strengthen ventilation and improve the quality of life," said a person in charge of the organization.

      "I am an old smoker now, and I didn't expect smoking to be harmful to people around me. I will never smoke indoors again." "I used to know that indoor pollution is bad for my body, but I don't know how to solve it. Today, I watched their vivid performances and learned some methods. I will try them when I go home." Some citizens said with deep emotion at the scene.
