            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visits by children in the Wetlands Park of the State of Waitanger City</p><p>In 2022, the list was found to be published by the Wide Eastern Province natural education base and the high-quality natural education base, and 20 units, such as the Custodian plant park, the East Java City garrison forest park, the Wide-East Hunano Province Nature Reserve, the Lake West Lake Province, were named by the Wide East Province natural education base. As a result, Hiroshima has completed 100 provincial natural education bases covering 19 municipalities throughout the province.</p><p>This year, the highest public participation was achieved in five provincial natural education bases, such as the World Geology Park in the Tangong Hill Tracts, the State Wetlands Park in Haipe, Wide-East State, the Wallan National Plant Park, the Wetlands Park in the Grand-Ouhua City State, and the Wide-East Tree Park, which were identified as the first high-quality natural education base in the Province of Wide-East.</p><p>In 2007, the Chinese diaspora group was entrusted by the Deep Municipal Government to take over only 6.85 million square metres of wetlands in Chinese, with over 200 million yuan renminbi over five years, for protective rehabilitation and continuous upgrading. So far, approximately 50,000 square metres of mangroves have been grown, becoming more than 800 habitats for flora and fauna. In December 2020, the National Forestry and Grassland Agency issued the National Forestry and Pastoral Authority Notification of the Results of the Pilot Acceptance of the National Wetlands Park 2020, which became the deep-rooted national wetland park.</p><p>As the first natural school in the country, the Chinese City School of Wetlands, with the aim of “a classroom, a set of educational materials, an environmental volunteer teachers”, aims at the social recruitment and formation of voluntary environmental teachers based on the natural resources of wetlands, environmental facilities, and provides a series of lecturers training; teaches and promotes the wisdom of nature through public goods education programmes and thematic orientation activities; and promotes public participation in the protection of wetlands through the platforms of natural schools, as well as through more public interest organizations.</p><p>It is known that since 2019, Hiroshima has insisted annually on the construction of additional natural education bases of various characteristics, actively exploring different types of natural education management and service models. In the future, it will make every effort to promote the establishment of natural education bases at all levels in the provincial and municipal levels and to develop high-quality natural education bases that will serve as a demonstration base for the dissemination of eco-civilization concepts, a poundry eco-cultural heritage base and an innovative space for learning among young people in Portoau.</p><p>At the same time, Hiroshima will vigorously promote the development of natural education brands across the province, combining 100 natural education bases with their own characteristics, allowing the impact of natural education to be at the centre of external radiation, forming a new operating model of institutions such as the Base+ Business Unit, the Base+ Social Organization, focusing on upgrading the quality of five high-quality natural education bases, pooling resources to build new ideas, teachers, curriculum excellence, managerial excellence, high-quality, well-known and high-quality demonstration bases, with an in-country flow of natural education with international influence.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was Park Xiyuan, who was suspended, who occupied position C</p><p>The president of the Asian Triathlon Federation, park Xiyuan of South Korea, was punished for violating the protection policy and moral code of the world Triathlon organization, “shall not hold any position in the world triathlon and its member associations and participate in any activities related to triathlon within two years from the date of this decision, and shall be fined 1000 US dollars.”</p><p>The reason why Park Xiyuan was punished was related to the suicide of South Korean athlete Cui Shuxian, the bronze medal winner in the youth group of the 2015 Asian Triathlon championship. Cui Shuxian failed to solve the problem after complaining to the South Korean sports and Olympic Committee and reporting to the police due to the long-term bullying and abuse of his coach and his predecessors in the team. At the end of June, he committed suicide in a dormitory in Busan at the age of 22.</p><p>When Choi Suk Hyun complained that he had been harassed and abused, park sik won was the chairman of the Korean Triathlon alliance and the head of the Asian Triathlon Federation. He was therefore accused of violating his protection policy and ethics. Park Xiyuan once defended himself in court, but court documents showed that there was no evidence that park Xiyuan had intervened in the matter.</p><p>After Choi Suk Hyun’s death, park sik won resigned from the post of president of the Korean Triathlon Federation and member of the Korean sports and Olympic Executive Committee, but decided to continue to serve as the head of the Asian Triathlon Federation and member of the Executive Committee of the world triathlon. At the same time, he is also a member of the world triathlon Members of the diversity and inclusion Committee and the development committee.</p><p>At the hearing last month, the expert group always believed that “in the death of Cui Shuxian, relevant South Korean officials, including Park Xiyuan, committed ‘many serious violations, so severe sanctions are needed’.” (Amber)</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don’t know when, our familiar clothing retailers have sneaked into the second-hand resale market.</p><p>In 2021 alone, many fashion and luxury brands crowded into the resale track one after another: in February, Alexander McQueen and vestiaire collective launched a clothing exchange shopping points repurchase program called “brand approved”; In July, Madewell and thredUP, a second-hand clothing platform, jointly announced the official launch of the second-hand cowboy consignment website “Madewell forever”; In August, Urban Outfitters created its own resale platform, where people can buy and sell clothes of this brand and even other brands</p><p>When fashion pays more and more attention to resale, even the word “second-hand” has become fashionable. Fashion brands have always been moved by the wind. Behind the resale plan, they just finally realize that second-hand clothing is a hidden big business in terms of commercial value and environmental value. The 2021 resale report released by thredUP shows that the resale industry will be one of the fastest growing segments of the retail industry. In the next five years, the secondary market value is expected to double from US $36 billion in 2021 to US $77 billion in 2025. Aditya Vedantam, an assistant professor at the school of management at the University of buffalo, said: “the second-hand market was always regarded by brands as competitors and thought it might erode their sales. But now, most of these brands are beginning to understand the real value of selling refurbished clothes.”</p><p>The covid-19 outbreak of the resale is closely related to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The epidemic has not only produced hundreds of millions of second-hand consumers, but also changed many people’s understanding and attitude towards shopping. In 2010, fast fashion has just entered its heyday, and it is almost the norm in the fashion industry to wear one at a time; But now, the trend has declined. There are three obvious benefits of fashion resale: clothes don’t need to be worn once and are thrown into the landfill, resulting in waste; Reduced carbon emissions from the manufacture of new clothes; It can save money for consumers. ThredUP report shows that since the epidemic, saving money has become the top priority before people buy clothes, and half of consumers are more concerned about the price of clothes than before; And 43% of consumers are more concerned about the quality of clothes than ever before, because they hope to resell them later rather than directly discard the worn clothes. For waste, people have a new chain of contempt: compared with before the epidemic, 51% of consumers are more opposed to ecological waste and 60% are more opposed to waste of money.</p><p>Green fashion is also a young trend. The report shows that more than 40% of millennials and generation Z have purchased second-hand clothes in the past 12 months. In 2016, the proportion was only 23%. Fran ç OIS Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kaiyun group, told vogue business: “Second hand luxury is now a real and deep-rooted trend, especially popular with young consumers. We don’t want to ignore it, but we want to seize this opportunity to enhance the value we provide to our customers and affect the future of our industry towards more innovative and sustainable practices.”</p><p>From the perspective of brand, although they bet that resale business will win young shoppers who attach importance to sustainable development, the process of real implementation into resale business is often not so simple. On the one hand, processing, recycling and recycling require certain basic equipment and digital technology; On the other hand, most retailers are not experts in “reverse logistics” - the system needs to receive the returned goods, catalogue and store them; Before the goods are returned to the shelf, they need to be cleaned or repaired; Some of the returned clothing may not even be resold (it is reported that up to 5 billion pounds of resold goods end up in landfills across the United States every year). Therefore, for brands, the cost of dealing with second-hand goods may be higher than that of selling goods. Even if they are forced to carry the resale, it may be a gamble without return.</p><p>It is noteworthy that in the eyes of modern consumers, not all ways of sustainable fashion are worth pursuing. The report also mentioned that despite the surge in demand for second-hand clothing, people’s demand for clothing branded as “sustainable” is declining. The analysis pointed out that on the one hand, this kind of clothing may not be easy to buy. On the other hand, consumers may be worried about the possible “green bleaching” behavior of the brand.</p><p>The fashion industry is still one of the most polluted industries in the world, but resale fashion is a good proof that a good style does not have to spend more money - whether the money is in the wallet or at the cost of human living environment. After all, clothes can be used, but we only have one earth.</p>]]></content:encoded>
