The guideline, co-issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration, the Ministry of Education and the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, said that the government should ensure the public's rights to know and supervise the issues related to environmental protection.

The government should also encourage the volunteers and non-governmental organizations to organize and take part in environmental protection activities, according to the guideline.

The guideline also urged publishing companies and film studios to produce a books and movies about environmental protection to improve public awareness.
