"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.
