Dehua county, well-known for its ceramics making, has developed a greener way to fire ceramic wares by encouraging local enterprises to discard their traditional wood-fired kilns and use electric kilns. By the end this August, 70 percent of all the porcelain enterprises have turned to electric firing, reducing 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide emission. (Xinhua/Song Weiwei)
