Erin Henshaw - Event Manager & Fundraising Specialist

Erin is from the Washington DC area, so she clearly has a thing for vibrant capital cities! Prior to moving to China, Erin studied Spanish, Sociology and International Business at the University of Virginia and worked in the field of charity event production. She came to China seeking a challenge, and certainly found it. Since arriving in Beijing, she has worked with Harrow International, The Fig Tree and Chi Fan For Charity, and currently serves as the Charity and Corporate Events Manager at The Hutong. She remains active in charity work and events management, and infuses her educational trips and programs with her passions for Chinese tea, healthy living, language-learning and authentic cultural immersion. It's the second year in a row that Erin's helped GtB on its greening mission (the GtB'10 auction event at The Hutong last year was a complete success thanks to her involvement!). GtB was honored to have Erin's superb coordination, enthusiasm, and fundraising finesse for the closing events of GtB'5: Green Earth For Everyone!

Alice moved to Canada for her high school senior year in August 2011, yet has continued to help GtB this year by recruiting more young volunteers to get involved for the sake of a greener Beijing.

Alice是我们团队中出色的志愿者，她曾是北京35中的一名学生，也是模拟联合国活动的一员，她潜心研习中国的发展议题及其对环境产生的影响。在GtB2010年3月在胡同小学举行的地球1小时语言交流晚会中，Alice担任了活动策划经理，这是她第一次参与点废成绿活动。此外，她还参加了点废成绿的“跨上单车，看电影去”活动，在博客中发表了参与‘点绿中国’竞赛的体会，并且在海外志愿服务赞助的第一届世界志愿博览会中协助我们开展工作。她倡导领养宠物、采访东直门的环保达人 并担当现场翻译， 且招募了新的志愿者来为绿化北京出力。2011年8月起，Alice前往加拿大读高中12年级，但她仍在尽力为GtB的工作。

Liu Yusi - Event Manager & Musician (Green Superstar)

Yusi just arrived in Beijing in summer 2011, after years studying abroad, and quickly became a GtB volunteer, taking a lead role in organizing GtB'5 events from start to finish. Being a musician himself, Yusi is keen on spreading positive "green" messages through artistic activities, which is why GtB attracted Yusi immediately. When he's not greening the city with GtB, you can catch him performing under his self-titled solo project or with Beijing's freshest addition to its music scene, Randy Abel Stable. Yusi served as a key GtB'5 team member this year, working closely with The Veggie Table and Hot Cat Club, to help plan and organize the Green Film Fest and 'Veggie Might', as well as lead us to Mako Live House for the Full Lunar Eclipse Finale.

于思今年刚从国外留学回来，到北京没多久后，就加入了“点废成绿”的大家庭。作为一个音乐人，于思对通过艺术手法传达环保信息非常感兴趣，这正是“点废成绿”的宗旨，也是于思在了解到“点废成绿”后不久就马上想到要加入其中的原因。今年于思参加了“点废成绿”的活动策划团队，与热力猫俱乐部以及“吃素的”餐厅一起，组织了“绿色电影节”以及“素食就是力量”这两项“绿色之光，点亮你我”的活动环节。

Carissa Welton, Founder, Co-Creator, and Advisor (Green Lover)委凯丽思,创始人及项目总监
Carissa holds a B.A. in Humanities/Asian Art Studies from San Francisco State University (signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger!). She fled to China in February 2004, and has been hosting art and music events in the capital since 2006. Her motivation for hosting the first Greening the Beige came from her selection as an installation artist for Burning Man 2007 and researching white pollution in China. Consequently she discovered several artists and community groups in Beijing dedicated to environmental stewardship. The desire to connect her project with these artists in order to make a collective awareness-raising effort developed quite naturally. And what began purely as a labor of love project she intends to develop as an organization that will serve the Beijing community for years to come.
委凯丽思拥有旧金山州立大学人文学科/亚洲艺术研究学士学位，于2004年2月来到中国，2006年开始在北京举办音乐艺术活动。点废成绿的创意来 自于她在07年火人节中被选为装置艺术家的感触和对中国白色污染概况所做的一项研究，后来她发现北京有一些艺术家和社会组织致力于环保事业。于是，她希望 邀请这些艺术家加入自己的项目，来唤起公众环保意识热。这项爱心活动后来发展成一个组织，并将一直服务于北京。
