Developing a Green Electricity Scheme for Shanghai

"Better city, better life" is the Shanghai municipality slogan in a campaign to promote its image as an environmentally conscientious and responsible city. One of the ways this busy hub decided to show its commitment to a less polluted city life is by becoming the first developing country city in the world to offer "Green Electricity."
