20 years ago, I was working relationships have visited Rwanda, now once again set foot on this beautiful land, breathing the fresh air, looking at a green, people feel click into place, the streets and lanes also had the very big change.

Clean, "Habitat award"

After a short flight of two hours, I arrived in the capital city of Kigali from Ethiopia. The airport is little and dainty, belongs to type. Not for a moment, then two of my friends he cheerfully welcome. See my hands carrying a plastic bag, one immediately remind said: "very strong Rwandan people's awareness of environmental protection, immigration no plastic bag, please dispose of, or they may be fined!" I put the bag in thing out, while he thought: such a small country has such a strong environmental awareness, even plastic bags are not allowed to use, it's not easy.

Before you know, Rwanda from 4 years ago to start the "plastic limit order". Is said to have individual supermarket secretly provide plastic bags, the report by the customer, had to close down. Some time ago, President of Rwanda also signed the law, completely ban the use of plastic bags, and offenders will be sentenced to 6 to 12 months in prison, or 100000 to 500000 francs ($1 $550 Lu Lu Lang) fine. In fact, Africa countries perform plastic limit order more than Rwanda a, South Africa, Kenya and other countries also have similar provisions. But in comparison, Rwanda is to carry out the most resolute, effect is the most obvious.

Experienced after the massacre of the people of Rwanda treasure be not easily won the peace in Rwanda, had built "Africa swiss". Kigali has given people the deepest impression than the health status: the streets clean, orderly planning.

The capital city of Kigali is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the whole city is located in the eight mountain elevation 1500 meters, has 100 years of history. Kigali's population has fallen from 6000 in 1960 to about 1000000 people now. The winding road, arranged in a crisscross pattern, the eight hill in Kigali. Both sides of the street trees, lush flowers. Almost every hill has a large round flower bed, there stands the statue, some with a fountain, beautiful, road leading to the surrounding radiation section, helicopter overlooking the panoramic can feast their eyes.

In addition to outside the capital and I drove to the countryside to repeatedly in rwanda. Surprisingly, there are also very clean. This point is relatively rare in more than 20 countries I've been to Africa. It is said that in the countryside, if his health is not good, there will be special for you to clean, but costs out of their own pockets.

A Rwandan official once told me: Rwanda and a few people, relatively poor, no resources, also have no what can show to the world of things, but the national clean, let to Rwanda people feel feel fresh, this we can do. To achieve this goal, the Rwandan people under a lot of effort: from morning to night, can see the cleaning staff city figure, they or waving their brooms sweep does not stop, or shuttle in the garden lawn, kept decorating, landscaping, Kigali has finally won the 2008 United Nations issued habitat award.
