On the morning of January 1, 2007, "Smile Wristbands" for Olympic volunteers were released officially. Every set of "Smile Wristbands" has five pieces, with each wristband bearing an Olympic color: red, representing "smile, obligation, and willingness to help others"; yellow, representing "smile, obligation, and the practice of civility and etiquette"; black, representing "smile, obligation, honesty, and credibility"; blue, representing "smile, obligation, and willingness to learn for the sake of progress"; and green, representing "smile, obligation, and participation in environmental protection." The unveiling of the wristbands led to a new surge in volunteer registration.By the end of October, the number of applicants for the Olympic and Paralympic volunteer programs had reached 700,000, among them 870 voluntarily served the Good Luck Beijing sport events and were confirmed as the first batch of Games-time volunteers.
