"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!
We'd like to salute the organizers for the upcoming Great Wall Tanglewood Music Festival for encouraging everyone to appreciate the environment while they appreciate music.
A few tips to add from GtB:
这个世界不是你的烟灰缸。
如果你吸烟，请带着责任感去尊重环境。请随身携带烟灰缸，并妥善丢弃你的烟蒂。
THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR ASHTRAY.
If you smoke, please be responsible and respectful to the environment. Carry a portable ashtray with you, and dispose of your butts properly.
请关注“1”：
我们只有一个星球，所以请足够的重视它吧。好好照顾它，也就是好好照顾你自己和你关爱的人的生存空间。
LOOK OUT FOR # 1
We only have 1 planet, so make it your first priority. Look after it, and you're looking after yourself and your loved ones, too.
请实践9个"R":
减少，再利用，回收，再思考，尊重，可充电，恢复，修复，再生！
PRACTICE THE 9 R's
Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Re-think, Respect, Rechargable, Restore, Repair, Regenerate!
