"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!

Announcing Ford Motors annual CEGC awards that distribute grants to worthwhile environmentally focused projects across China. We are raising awareness of the opportunity for great projects to win grants to go towards continuing their great work in everything from grass roots communication projects to agenda changing sustainability NGOs. We would like to reach NGOs, not for profits, schools and university networks and there is an opportunity for all sorts of organisations and also individuals to benefit from this funding so please pass the word to anyone you might think relevant. Enjoy the 2nd installment of THE GREEN LANGUAGE EXCHANGE on-line this month! (we hope to host the next *live* event again soon at The Hutong School...) Green Language Exchange Presented by "Textile Dreams" lies at the crossroads of traditional handicrafts and art. It is the expression of a fruitful encounter between an artist and a group of women. Wen Fang, a young Chinese artist committed to social advancement, decided to help the development of The Hundred Flowers Magaozhuang, a handicraft cooperative created under the aegis of Femmes du Ningxia.

Hi everyone, The end of the month is creeping up very quickly, and that means only one thing - its time to ride again :-) This Friday night we are trying something different and organizing a ride outside of the centre of the city. We will ride from 798 to Red Gate Gallery's Open Studio Exhibition in Beigao. It is only a short 5 km ride and there will be some interesting art to greet you at the other end. A BBQ will be set up so please bring along some of your own food for barbecuing or some snacks as you will most likely be hungry after the ride. | ||
