"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!
While GtB is hard at work right now gathering artists and creative people that are greening Beijing, inmates at the Women’s Prison in Zhengzhou are already one step ahead this season.
I wonder if GtB can invite these prison inmates to this year’s eco-fashion show in November?
Cheers to all!
This is great. I am so proud of the inmates who participated in the fashion show. Who said that plastics are just craps when it can be turned into colorful fashion dresses? Ever since, I love watching Eco-friendly fashion shows and it's a good to hear that there are young ones who uses fashion and their creativity to earn. Well, it's not a bad idea for this kind of economy. Cheers to all!
Not a bad idea!
I'm open to it...are those gowns made from plastic? If so, I'm completely blown away.

And here's another good idea from Love and Trash.
Maybe we should invite them, too?
