点废成绿 GREENING THE BEIGE

点废成绿 Greening the Beige (GtB) is an eco-minded arts collective and not-for-profit community network dedicated to nurturing awareness of environmental issues. 点废成绿 GtB promotes and celebrates earth friendly artists and organizations in Beijing.

GREEN QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Why are we being forced to choose between the economy and the environment? We tend to forget that without an environment we would not have an economy, as everything we consume and I mean everything comes from our environment."

~ Franke James (contemporary artist, photographer, writer)

Green Tip: PRECYCLE!

Beijing's landfills are getting full fast! Reduce the "trash" you throw away by purchasing products with minimal packaging. Look for reusable, recyclable, and biodegrable items and remember to carry your reusable shopping bags!

On the “Spirit” of Lei Feng

Taken from "A Modern Lei Feng".

March 5th is officially the day marked to celebrate Lei Feng, the Chinese soldier who was known for his selfless deeds in helping others and died a tragic death at a young age only to be venerated as a national hero when his diary was suddenly discovered. Therefore, every year on March 5th, Chinese, mainly students, are told to celebrate the spirit of Lei Feng by doing certain charitable works around their city.

Green Government Action in the P.R.C.

YES! Happy 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)! ! !

And mad props to Pu Cunxin.

(Oh how I wish more of my own national leaders would exercise more PEDAL POWER)

It's so refreshing when you finally come across the (increasing) bit of good green news in The Red Republic.

Thanks to China Green News for bringing this and so much more to our attention!

Livin' La Vida Locavore

You know the saying "you are what you eat"? Well, if that's true then over the course of time I've become giant greasy plate of kungpao chezi approaching 7th grade biology worm status (in terms of formaldehyde, courtesy of Tsingtao).

Yikes!

How can I be green in a world full of packaged chicken feet?

The artists' role in the environment

By the end of this weekend the results from the GtB survey we conducted over the last month will go out for final review.

From my analysis so far, it became clear that there's still some confusion about the purpose, function, and overall goals of Greening the Beige.

Is this the most beautiful idea ever?

I think it is...

Green Kunming

i've heard it's always "green in kunming". i know from experience, china's eternal city of spring is definitely lush in may, as well as in early september -- the flower markets are full of varied species, and it tends to rain heavily but in short intervals of time, with a slight humidity clinging to the air..

there's definitely a lot of creativity bubbling over and everywhere in the Yunnan provincial capital, as well. mix the 2 together and what do you get?
