On the streets of Beijing in the Chinese mainland, young artists are redefining what it means to plant a tree.
With World Earth Day on April 22 just days away, these children have crafted 'trees of hope' from recycled paper, plastic bottles, and discarded fabrics. These vibrant sculptures serve as powerful symbols of the environmental future this generation envisions.
CGTN's Julian Waghann recently toured the exhibition showcasing these inventive creations. Each artwork blends imaginative design with clear eco-messages—from a bottle-cap canopy calling to 'Reduce. Reuse. Renew.' to paper blossoms embellished with pledges to protect the planet.
By transforming everyday waste into art, these budding changemakers prove that sustainability isn’t just a concept: it’s a hands-on movement fuelled by creativity and community spirit.
As April 22 approaches, the question is simple: what would your tree of hope look like? Share your creations online with the hashtag #TreesOfHope and join a global conversation on nurturing our planet.
