In an article from the Urumqi Evening News, “Jenny” writes about the Sustainability Symbol and the HAVAS study which illustrated consumer attitudes around the world, and highlighted Chinese willingness to be part of the solution to Global Warming, Pollution and Climate Change and not the problem.

“Peace Plus One” - the three finger Sustainability Symbol and the need for balance between SOCIETY, the ENVIRONMENT and the ECONOMY is described in the Chinese language version here:

Urumqi is in the far West of China in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

This exotic part of China is described in Wikipedia as:

Xinjiang

Postal map spelling: Sinkiang;
Turkish: Sincan, Sincan Uygur Özerk Bölgesi, or commonly known as Do?u Türkistan) is an autonomous region (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) of the People’s Republic of China.

It is a large, sparsely populated area (spanning over 1.6 million sq. km) which takes up about one sixth of China’s territory.

Xinjiang borders the Tibet Autonomous Region to the south and Qinghai and Gansu provinces to the southeast, Mongolia to the east, Russia to the north, and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India to the west.

It administers most of Aksai Chin, a territory formally part of Kashmir over which India claims sovereignty.

“Xinjiang” or “Ice Jecen” in Manchu, literally means “New Frontier”, a name given during the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China.

It is home to a number of different ethnic groups, many of them Turkic, the largest of which is the Uyghur people.

Older English-language reference works often refer to the area as Chinese Turkestan, Sinkiang, East Turkestan, or Uyghuristan.
