In the bustling and thriving Taizhou Port Economic Development Zone – located in Taizhou city in East China's Jiangsu province – one woman is widely said to stand out for her unrelenting efforts in environmental protection.
Zhang Lu, a staff member of the zone's environmental protection department, has been diligently addressing environmental challenges in her role with deep dedication.
When the department was established in the zone, Zhang faced a daunting task in that many businesses lacked comprehensive environmental assessments and procedures.
Undeterred, she took a hands-on approach, visiting each enterprise personally to understand their environmental practices. Over the years, she gathered data, conducted on-site inspections and organized documents, leaving no stone unturned in her quest to establish cleaner practices.
But Zhang's dedication didn't end there. To address pollution issues systematically, she introduced a behavioral model of environmental stewardship, providing tailored environmental diagnosis services to key industry players.
Moreover, with the help of experts, she assessed pollution control capabilities of companies, plus their emissions compliance, waste utilization and environmental risk management, resulting in a comprehensive understanding their environmental footprints.
Through her exacting work, Zhang is said to have significantly improved environmental standards in the metropolis. In the future, she plans to help inspire others to join her in preserving the blue skies, clear water and clean land in the Taizhou Port Economic Development Zone.
