Thank you very much for the feedback! I will gladly consider everything you have said. The site is relatively new and more like a side hobby of mine, so there will definitely be a lot of improvements in the near future. I am currently in the process of having several writers and contributors create more well-rounded and original content. An example of that will be a column written by a friend of mine, who happens to be an environmentalist living and working for a npo in Beijing. In addition to that, from my own npo consultancy I have bountiful sources in the clean tech industry who have voiced a lot of enthusiasm for being subjects in articles I will have written. Once again, thank you for the feedback. Please check back for updates!

Great! I'm glad you found the feedback helpful. I wish you all the best in carrying out your excellent ideas!

I have a question, which perhaps would be better addressed to your friend who works in Beijing. You see, I have a friend who worked for a time in Hong Kong with an environmental organization. She said that people in the area had no idea why shopping organic or local might be beneficial. They just didn't have much background in the topic, as the environmental movement in Hong Kong is just now starting to strengthen. I'm wondering if the story is very similar/different in Beijing.
