Though at present there are only two types of lotteries in China (social welfare lottery and sports lottery), the profits gained from their sales have already been applied to every social field, including the
environmental protection field. Issuing an environmental protection lottery specifically would no doubt be an unnecessary repetition.
Zhou Yan, a teacher from East China's Jiangsu province, said on ,
The proposed lottery would see a transfer of the government's
responsibility to the public. It's just like collecting money from private pockets for state revenue. Why should we folks cough up for something that should have been done by the government?
Wang Yu, a 26-year-old Beijinger, also disagreed with Chen's proposal on ,
Issuing lottery is a quick way to raise funds, but we cannot take it as a solution to all social problems. Problems in a social field should be solved within this field. Taking lottery issuance as the solution of social problems will only end in gambling addiction.
But Lin Fei, an official from China's Southwest Yunnan Environmental Protection Bureau, feels it's an excellent idea. He says on ,
China's environmental protection relies too much on governmental investment rather than the market mechanism. Issuing environmental protection lottery will be an excellent way to introduce private funds into the field of environmental protection. And it will effectively ease the shortage of environmental protection funds in some regions.
