Reduce, reuse, recycle. This is the mantra by which more and more people in Beijing live their lives. In this issue of Agenda you’ll meet some of the most interesting people working to make the world a more sustainable place, like Nathan Siy, the founder of Beijing Eletric Bike Tours, the members of the Beijing Energy Network, and Sue Meng Chan and Marcus Bauder, the brains behind China World Hotel’s carbon-less meetings. You’ll also learn about E-Idea from Dora Duan, who tells us how her initiative is cooperating with major media organizations to light the green spark in China’s young entrepreneurs. Then there’s Emilian Popa, one of the co-founders of Wimdu, who talks about his company’s mission to monetize couch surfing, and if you’ve got an idea of your own but no network to help you, man-about-town William Heathershaw will teach you how to build your network to reach your goals.

If you want to start making some small changes yourself, check out our list of China’s best environmental organizations, sustainable and second-hand shops, apps for a greener world and antique markets, and be sure to head over to one of our favorite vegetarian restaurants for a meat-free, sustainable meal. We also threw in a list of great places to have a beer – it’s not green, per se, but after making so many changes we felt you deserve a cool reward!
