News clip #2: Geo-Park Tours.

Q: As the chairman of the Farmer's Co-operative in Jiangsu, you want to create awareness of the hardships the farmers are experiencing due to the reforestation/conservation project by the officials. Prepare a speech you are going to make during the governor's annual "Meet the People" session about the farmer's hardship.

A: Dear Governor: the reforestation/conservation project is a good idea. but have you considered that us farmers are using this land to grow crops to sell? Without this land, we cannot grow crops, cannot make money, so we cannot pay taxes. Without this tax you cannot continue this reforestation/conservation project. Not to mention that you did not give us any compensation for the land.

Also, do you know that the crops we grow also make up a bit of China's economy? Without crops there will be no food. Without food there will be a food crisis. If there is a food crisis and an economic crisis and a money crisis at the same time-that would be a big problem.

Furthermore, the crops on our land are also plants. They also take in CO2 and give out O2. It is equal to or better than the same land being used for growing trees!
Thank you. I sincerely hope that you act fast and return us the land before more damage is done.

Jokes

Here is a joke:

There was a new construction site near my house and there were a whole lot of steamrollers there. Some safety-conscious guy printed a sign saying: Danger! Please do not enter. Violators will be squished.

Hope you like it!
