Usually, the national college students' environmental knowledge contest has nothing to do with innovation and entrepreneurship. The main purpose of the environmental knowledge contest is to implement the strategic plan of accelerating the reform of ecological civilization system, promoting green development and building a beautiful China, and to call on college students to actively learn environmental protection knowledge, consciously fulfill their environmental protection obligations and jointly undertake the responsibility of building a green earth.

Innovation and entrepreneurship means that individuals or teams achieve development and progress by creating new ideas, new technologies and new products in their daily study and work.
