GREEN QUOTE OF THE DAY

"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)

Green Tip: PRECYCLE!

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!

Bekka Baker, Eco-Fashion Show Director

From make-up to choreographing the catwalk, Bekka has given her green soul to the GtB fashion show since 2007. Her portfolio ranges from television to magazine shoots, as a PA, a make-up artist, a model in both the U.S. and China. Some other ways she spends her time beyond making the world a more beautiful peopled place, is by collecting antique telephones, dancing as she DJs, painting and recording music in her Beijing home studio.

自2007年开始,Bekka将她的绿色理念带入到‘点废成绿’的时装秀中,从化妆到设计舞蹈动作。,她曾在美国和中国的电视和杂志拍摄领域担任过助理、化妆师、和模特的角色。在闲暇之时,她喜欢收集古董电话机、跳舞、画画,以及在她北京的家里录制音乐,她希望将这个世界绘制成更适宜人类生存的地方。

Carissa Welton, Founder and Program Director 创始人及项目总监
(Green Lover 绿色拥护者)

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.

拥有旧金山州立大学人文学/亚洲艺术研究学位。她创立并组织了点废成绿前两年的艺术和音乐活动。点废成绿的创意来自她对中国白色污染概况所做的一项研究,结果发现北京有相当数量致力于环保的艺术家和社会组织。这项爱心工程将会发展壮大,始终服务北京。
