"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!

制片人们正在找寻一位艺术家来制作出一幅传达「中国未来城市环境瞻望」的图画／视觉艺术作品。目前这个纪录片正在被大力地推销于像包括探索频道和国家地理杂志的美国有线电视网路频道。想被考虑做选拔的投稿者需要提供一个对于作品的精简形容或是作品的草稿。作品将在一月12日到26日之间（因为春节的关系，这个时段是我们比较看中的选择）或者二月18日到三月中旬之间展览于798艺术区。虽然除了展示作品过程中所需要的花费以外投稿者将不会得到其它的金钱或物质补偿，但是点废成绿将会在2009年的活动中提供获选者作品展示和销售的机会。
