GREEN QUOTE OF THE DAY

"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)

Green Tip: PRECYCLE!

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!

Beijing invests ¥13B to counter 2017 water shortage

More water price hikes appear to be in the works for the Chinese capital of Beijing, which is already trying to conserve its scare supply.

The head of Beijing's water resources bureau, Cheng Jing, recently announced the Northern China metropolis is expected to put together plans to raise its rates in the next two months. The city’s water hike, in an effort to promote conservation, will be the fifth since 2001 (see China’s water prices ticking up).
