Rural King Hosts Annual Paws in the Park Event to Support Local Animal Shelters

MATTOON, Ill., Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rural King, a family-owned retailer dedicated to the rural lifestyle, will once again bring communities together to celebrate pets and support animals in need during its annual Paws in the Park event on Saturday, Jan. 24, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Rural King locations nationwide.

Paws in the Park is a one-day event that celebrates the bond between people and their pets while benefiting local animal shelters and rescue organizations. Customers are invited to bring their pets to participating stores*, enjoy time together and donate pet food and supplies to shelters in their communities.

This year, Rural King anticipates distributing approximately 150 pallets of pet food and 150 gaylords of supplies to animal shelters nationwide. In addition, Rural King has arranged to donate pallets of Crunchy Bites dog treats to local animal shelters as part of the event.

“At Rural King, pets are family, and Paws in the Park is one of our favorite ways to celebrate that,” said Blayne Lawyer, Buyer – Pets, Rural King. “This annual event brings our communities together to support local animal organizations, enjoy time with their pets, and share in the joy animals bring to our lives. We’re proud to continue this tradition and give back to the shelters and rescues that do so much for pets in need.”

During the event, each participating Rural King store will partner with a local animal shelter or rescue organization. Donation bins will be set up in stores, allowing customers to purchase pet food, treats, toys and other supplies on site and place them directly into the donation bins. After the event, partner shelters will collect the donated items from their local store.

All Rural King locations will participate in the donation program, with each store supporting shelters in its local community.

Paws in the Park is an annual event hosted by Rural King to strengthen community connections and support animal welfare organizations. While the event takes place on a single day, the donations collected help shelters care for pets well beyond the event.

*While all stores are participating in the donation effort, Ohio locations will not allow pets inside the store due to state regulations. Customers at those locations are still encouraged to participate by donating items.

Understanding Water: A Tsinghua Exploration

BEIJING, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from China.org.cn

Since ancient times, human civilization has thrived alongside water, which nourishes life but also presents ongoing challenges. At Tsinghua University, teams of scientists are embarking on a groundbreaking exploration of water dynamics, aiming to unlock water’s secrets and promote sustainable coexistence between humanity and nature.

One of the researches focuses on surface water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs, essential for both economic activities and ecosystem stability. Utilizing advanced satellite remote sensing technology, the team has developed an AI model called U-Net to generate high-resolution data. This comprehensive dataset captures the dynamics of 1.4 million lakes worldwide, providing critical information for managing and protecting water resources.

Tsinghua researchers are also studying the seismic resistance of dams using shaking tables to ensure safety. They’ve advanced new concrete dam technology that is quicker, safer, and cost-effective, successfully building over 200 dams in China.

Another team in Tsinghua also focuses on flood management through innovative forecasting methods using drones and real-time data. Their Panta Rhei initiative examines the human-water relationship, promoting resilience in water systems and providing valuable resources for researchers and policymakers.

Tsinghua University’s multifaceted research offers vital insights into the human-water relationship, promoting resilience and sustainability in water management. Their pioneering work not only addresses immediate environmental challenges but also lays the groundwork for a harmonious future between humanity and nature.

Accelerating a comprehensive green transition: Exploring Tsinghua’s solution

BEIJING, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from China.org.cn

From cutting-edge technologies to globally trusted scientific assessments, Tsinghua University’s innovation is driving China’s green transition, a national goal included in its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).

Professor Wang Can, director of the Joint Pollution Control and Carbon Reduction Research Center of the Institute for Carbon Neutrality at Tsinghua University, said climate progress isn’t just about setting targets—it’s about measuring actions, understanding differences, and learning from one another.

His team of young researchers has developed an internationally recognized framework that connects targets, policies, actions, and results—while highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of developing countries. Regions like Latin America stand out as key partners for future global cooperation.

While long-term emission reductions take time, China is already on the move. With strong policies supporting critical technologies such as electric vehicles and energy storage, China’s experience is offering valuable lessons for other developing countries pursuing their own energy transitions.

One powerful example is clean energy storage.

Professor Mei Shengwei, team leader of Security Control and Efficient Utilization of Modern Power and Energy Systems at Tsinghua University, introduces a breakthrough solution: storing compressed air in salt caverns. This innovative approach replaces high-pressure tanks with a system that is cleaner, safer, and more efficient.

This next-generation energy storage technology is designed to support the future of renewable energy.

The power of technology transforms nature’s gifts into tangible sources of green energy and Tsinghua University once again is helping build a greener, more equitable path forward for China and the world.
