China Green Mountain
(No This is not Photoshopped)

This is older news from last year, but it is something that many people never knew or heard of. This idea was cooked up by the China government and it has left many people speculating the reason as to "WHY??" they would do this.The Chinese government spent a little over 470,000 yuan ( Which is a little over 60,000 US dollars), in an effort to paint the Laoshou Mountain green.

Some people believe that they did this in effort to improve the "Feng Shui" of the area, others are speculating they did this to make China appear to have a lush landscape in the drier areas. Now the locals of the area have mentioned the obvious choice should have been to buy trees and other scrubs and planted them to increase the "Greenness" of the area. But as China goes, they always have to do things in the most unique / weirdest way possible. Other examples of China nonsense - Great Firewall of China, Banning people from watching scary movies, and painting little chicks different colors such as pink, blue, purple, etc. Thus shortening the lifespan of a baby chick to around 2 weeks if it’s lucky, yes I am referring to baby chickens). I guess the problem of yellow colored chicks were just to much of an issue and needed to be resolved. Actually come to think of it, I believe it’s Japan that does this.

Here is article on the China D-I-Y approach on painting a mountain green.
