"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!
Yesterday rock music fans picked up paintbrushes to join Greening the Beige and the Green Student Forum in "The Carbon Cube Project" (www.ClimateChangesArt.org) at the Modern Sky Festival in Chaoyang Park.
The volume of the Carbon Cube (2 meters x 2 meters x 2 meters) represents the amount of CO2 emissions the average Chinese person produces in 11 hours.
Paint while rocking out today and join this interactive art project on the last day of the festival! Look for the Carbon Cube next to the Cha stage.
In the meantime, check out these photos from yesterday's painting.

二氧化碳 = CO2
