点废成绿 Greening the Beige (GtB) is an eco-minded arts collective and not-for-profit community network dedicated to nurturing awareness of environmental issues. 点废成绿 GtB promotes and celebrates earth friendly artists and organizations in Beijing.
"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!
HOORAY!
Thanks to all of you that joined us on Earth Day for GtB's organic green BBQ at Club Obiwan! The results are now in from the green raffle prize drawing!!!
But first -- a special thanks goes out to the folks from The Green Long March, trekking all the way over to feast with us (after a long day of hiking through the hills and tree planting). We really appreciate the special film you shared with us at the event! It was great to see the GLM in action and find out more about the organization's work towards wildlife protection and environmental sustainability.
And now, for the Earth Day Raffle Prize winners...(of course, GtB still considers you a winner if you're doing something to green this planet)....drum roll, please:
*80 rmb gift card from iF Juice -- Chris Chaplin
**Big Tree card from Willow Willow -- Mai Quant
***12 lessons at BeijingDance/LDTX -- Alain Lagulao
Just a few gifts to thank you for your support of our little project and share some green love from our sponsors!
We hope to see you again in May for our next planning meeting/special screening event at YuGongYiShan. GtB has big plans this year, so we need all the help we can get to keep this city's colors vibrant....and then some.
Treehugs,
GreenLadyC
