"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)
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!

“Climate change is the most urgent issue facing our planet today, and we need to unite the world around meaningful action,” says World Wildlife Fund U.S. Climate Director Keya Chatterjee. Greening the Beige, Roots & Shoots - Jane Goodall Institute China, and The Hutong School are joining up to launch a new monthly GREEN LANGUAGE EXCHANGE this coming Saturday, March 27th! In celebration of WWF EARTH HOUR we've chosen to discuss the topic of "What It Means To Live a Low Carbon Lifestyle". Choose between the Eco-English corner with Roots & Shoots - Jane Goodall Institute China or the Green Chinese corner with The Hutong School. The 1 hour language exchange and after-party is free and will help you (and your loved ones) untie your green tongues, in English and/or Chinese, and speak about pertinent environmental issues. If you enjoy meeting new friends, sharing ideas, learning languages, and/or helping the environment, please save the date, SAVE ENERGY, and join us for conversation, drinks, snacks, songs, candles,lanterns, and camaraderie this EARTH HOUR at The Hutong School! Space is limited, so please RSVP. Contact Stacey Lai at The Hutong School and let us know if you're coming and bringing friends: stacey.lai@hutongschool.com | ||
