"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!
Awhile back GtB reported on The Great Power Race, a clean energy competition amongst students in China, India, and the US of Awesomeness.
Although, sad to patriotically report, the USA isn't doing nearly as much butt-kicking as India and China!
WOOHOO,GO CHINA, JIA YOU!!! They've more than tripled their competition teams since last reported here. Place your bets...
Of course, in all seriousness, this competition is really about these 3 countries working together to combate climate change and its life-changing effects (that affect us all!).
For those interested in learning more about the Great Power Race in China, look for event information coming soon on the 10/10/10 Beijing Global Work Party, hosted by GtB and the 350.org China Working Team, where team captains from China will get together in the capital to display their projects.
