Bayer Young Environmental Envoy Programme

Beginning in April, Bayer (China) Limited once again launched its Bayer Young Environmental Envoy Programme. Now in its third year in China, the programme encourages students 18-22 from Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hefei to participate in the competition to become a Bayer Young Environmental Envoy. Applicants must have previous experience in environmental activities, a motivation to contribute to a better environment in China, and the initiative to implement projects to achieve this goal. Application forms and details can be downloaded on the Internet at www.envir.gov.cn or www.bayeryoungenvoy.com. Fifteen students will be selected as Bayer Young Environmental Envoys. They will participate in environmental activities such as an ecocamp, through which an independent judging panel will select four young people to represent China during an all-expenses paid field trip to Bayer AG's headquarters in Leverkusen, Germany, and the Bayer International Youth Environment Day in November 2005.
