Green Action You Can Take Immediately!
Greening the Beige is dedicated to improving the quality of our living environment in Beijing.
At the same time, GtB is a global collective. Whether disaster strikes in our own backyard or in our neighbor's, it affects us. So here's where we like to keep a list (and check it twice) full of GREEN HOPE and IDEAS FOR ACTION.
From the reconstruction of the Sichuan earthquake region in China to the ongoing relief efforts in the Hurricane Katrina disaster zones of New Orleans, below are a few select organizations we chose to highlight helping those in need around the globe.
If you have a suggestion or correction for this little list, please let us know!!!

支持 Support
GtB 2012 Team Positions - NOW OPEN
All participating members volunteer their time, energy, and talent to GtB in aims of improving Beijing's urban environment.
Funding for GtB relies heavily upon the contributions of our participants and is based on a gift economy. Since 2007, GtB has hosted several free entrance events at local Beijing venues, occasionally charging affordable ticket sales to help off-set operating costs.
Over time, Greening the Beige has come to work with several remarkable organizations, campaigns, and projects -- all focused on creating a more sustainable planet. Over the years GtB has also helped draw more attention to its many green allies and community leaders, in addition to raising funds for the Hua Dan Sichuan Earthquake Project, Roots & Shoots –Jane Goodall Institute China, and China Mangrove Action Project.
In 2010, GtB joined 51Sim, a non-profit platform and Beijing-based foundation dedicated to social innovation and environmental sustainability. All activities run by GtB are managed and supported by 51sim.org -- donations to help keep up the greening of the beige can be made through the China Charities R&D Fund (more info here).

为了改善北京的市区环境，点费成绿的成员们献出了他们宝贵的时间，精力和才能。
点费成绿的资金主要依靠所有参与人员的贡献，为该组织筹集资金应以礼品经济为基础。自2007年以来，我们在北京的场馆陆续举办了一些免费入场的活动，偶尔会象征性的收取一些费用来抵消活动支出。
随着时间的推移，点废成绿已经与一些组织取得了合作，参与了一些活动及项目的运作—旨在建设一个更加持续化的星球。数年来，除了为四川花旦地震项目，根与芽 ——珍妮古道尔中国研究所及中国红树林项目筹资外，点废成绿还引起了很多环保盟友和社区领导的关注。
2010年，GTB项目正式假如了51sim，一个建立与北京的非盈利机构，致力于社会创新以及环境可持续发展
GTB运营的所有项目活动都得到了来自51sim的管理帮助和支持。
任何帮助点废成绿（GTB）的捐助都可以通过中国慈善基金网完成（更多信息请点击这里）
