 Besides the local organizations, international non-government organizations also gathered. The discussions focused on the impact of global climate change on the social economy and public life. Leaders discussed their individual countries’ strategy to implement change and difficulties in executing their plans to protect the environment. They were especially concerned about the Chinese governments’ policy plans on environmental issues, and challenges that face local agencies. The goal for the meeting was to unite organizations efforts and ideas to help conserve our planet.

Participants were impressed by the extent of energy conservation, the building technique and further applications of straw bale houses. Zhu explained the environmental benefits of building straw-bale houses, and the social impact on its improved peasants’ living standard by saving energy expenses.
