Beijing, China - Students from 32 Chinese universities who completed a China-wide "Green Long March" for environmental protection this summer are encouraging China to stay on the path to sustainability post-Olympics.

"The Green Olympics and our Green Long March are both working towards better conservation awareness in China," says 23-year-old Green Long March student leader Wang Yanan. "We want to inspire Chinese youth to become the pioneers of environmental change."

Through a report by Associated Press writer Henry Sanderson, the Green Long March, a national Chinese youth movement for the environment initiated and supported by Future Generations/CHINA has made international news.

Highlights include: The International Herald Tribune, Forbes, MSN news, Newsweek, and USA Today. In Asia, coverage includes the:  China Post, the Bangkok Post, and the Taiwan News.
