酷 dudes

Ma Jun, cool Chinese dude that founded an organization called IPE that pressures polluting factories into follow river discharge regulations. Sounds boring, right? But it's so important at the same time! My attempts at contacting Ma Jun has so far been unsuccessful. Perhaps as one of Time's 100 People of the Year, he has better things to do with his time...? Also, when reading up on very polluting industries with supply chains in China, Apple is one of the worst and most hypocritical.

When All Else Fails, Apply Bamboo: about a regular guy living in NY who really spiced up his living space. It's kind of what I imagine my future apartment/house to be like.

盲井- love this movie!

I'm a fan of Christina Larson a sometimes writer for the Yale magazine Yale Environment 360. She has a few insightful articles about the state of the environmental movement in China. I especially like this article about how perhaps western media's go-to visual representations for China and India are kind of outdated. She makes a stimulating, if not humorous, argument.
