Sharing Planet Earth with China

China is a country of extremes: on the one hand, China’s dazzling modern cities are home to citizens who are better off than ever. On the other hand, millions of Chinese still lack access to clean drinking water. A growing movement in China seeks to address these disparities and build a greener future. This slide show and talk explores some of the major challenges this movement faces and the progress it has made. Presenters include environmental activist Zhao Zhong, who was named a Time Magazine “hero of the year,” and Kristen McDonald, who is the China Program Director at Pacific Environment. Talk followed by Q and A/discussion.
