仅仅生产钢铁，水泥，化学制品，纸张，铝就耗费了中国能源需求的几乎一半，还制造了将近一半的空气污染。 这种污染每年夺去了超过三十万人的生命，还造成了将近一千亿美元的经济损失。
Production of steel, cement, chemicals, paper, and aluminum alone account for nearly half of China’s energy needs and generate nearly half of the air pollution that claims over 300,000 lives and costs the economy close to $100 billion each year.
