"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!
Volunteers Needed in Alabama and Missouri
Announcing Project Alabama, and the extension of Project St. Louis! Our team is on the ground in Alabama finalizing housing, etc., but we're ready to start acceping volunteer applications for those interested in tornado recovery opportunities. We're also expanding our operations in Missouri to include our current proejct in St. Louis, our satellite operation in Morehouse, and we're assessing the possibility of a response in Joplin. Volunteers in St. Louis will be given preference for potential work in Joplin if we open a project there.
