"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!
One of the greatest things about living in Beijing is that it's a city attracting some of the most fascinating people you will ever meet.
On Friday, August 27th, cyclist enthusiasts in the capital will have a chance to meet Raymond Behm, who will arrive after a 3.5 month-4,000 meter long journey through China. To celebrate the completion of his trip, Raymond is inviting as many riders as interested to join him in making his last kilometer trek to the Luxemborg Embassy.
Visit Raymond's blog here to see photos from his travels and RSVP for further details.
