Zeng encouraged Chinese scientists to devote themselves to innovation of general and key technologies for saving energy and reducing emission.
In meeting with local children who also participated in the activities, the Vice-President told them to properly use every drop of water, every piece of paper and other resources.
"To build up an environment-friendly and resource-saving society is a responsibility not only for the Party and government, but every one," Zeng said.
He also urged science workers and local governments to carry out more science and technology popularization activities that are more easily to be understood and accepted by common people.
