点废成绿 Greening the Beige (GtB) is an eco-minded arts collective and not-for-profit community network dedicated to nurturing awareness of environmental issues. 点废成绿 GtB promotes and celebrates earth friendly artists and organizations in Beijing.
"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!
Greening the Beige is currently seeking talented, outlandish, far-thinking, future-making, inspiring, culminating, evolutionary ideas and idealists to participate in this year's round of annual events (Beijing, November 2010).
More information on the criteria for involvement is coming soon!
In the meantime, just remember the 9+ R's:

*GtB is a not-for-profit event. However, we will accept all forms of artists, collaborators, partners, and volunteer contributions towards greening our city! Contact us: info@greeningthebeige.org*
