14million hectare of forest, which is roughly the entire national territory area of Napel, is disappearing annually. Also, 1/5 of the world’s coral reef, 1/3 of the world’s mangrove forest and 1/2 of the world’s wetland have already disappeared. To make it worse, the thickness of the ice cover on the North/South Pole has decreased for 40%, and the record of peak temperature has been refreshing for years.

Now the population on earth has reached 7billion, and is expected to break 9billion in 2050. So please imagine what a tough environmental disaster our Mother Erath is suffering from! Fortunately, things can be better ever if we just move a small step forward. Since the Earth Day is coming, why not having a close view of environment protection and trying to find out the greener alternatives for our daily life via a knowledge contest on this topic? Just paint your idea out, and we may record a video to make widely spread.

We design and deliver creative participatory learning environments and experiences for game-changing conversations and disruptive solutions, and connect the participants with the movers and shakers of China’s creative, technology and social innovation scene. We challenge participants to leave their comfort zones, harness individual and collective creativity to evolve and innovate. The outcome is inspiration, transformation, confidence, ownership and next individual and organizational endeavor. This isn’t just about generating ideas. It’s also about making the ideas happen.

The co-working community we serve and work with is a self-nourishing network embedded in China’s creative, tech and social sectors which provides community members with the opportunity to seek out resonated spirits and share in rich discussions about creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and impact to the society.[/lang_en]

每年有1400万公顷森林消失,相当于尼泊尔一个国家的面积。五分之一的珊瑚礁、三分之一的红树林,以及一半的湿地已从地球上消失。两极冰盖厚度比40年前减少了40%,每年都在刷新高温记录。而现在地球人口已经突破70亿,到2050年将达到90亿!地球母亲面临着严峻的环境危机,但你知道吗?我们每个人都可以行动起来,一次一小步,拯救地球。值地球日之际,让我们用环保知识竞赛的形式来认识环保,了解你如何从衣食住行做到环保,做出更绿色的选择。让我们一起把这些小点子画出来,做成视频,分享给更多的人!

“城市试验田”
快速重塑一个更绿色健康的自己

每个城市都需要一个健康再生资源和商品的供应,从而使得粮食,水和能源的安全得以保证。“城市试验田”呼吁人们立即采取行动,每个生活在城市的人都应该在有意识的生活,知情消费,个人行为所产生的公众影响等反面提高认知。我们致力于激发城市里的年轻人和家庭从传统生活过渡到自觉的生活,并采取行动,保持健康。

“城市试验田”为突破性的对话营造了一个全新的参与式的学习环境。该项目将展示怎样以一个创新的,以社区为重点的行动去实现可持续的生活方式。5个迷你“试验田”将接连由这些人为您呈现:艺术家,教育工作者,绿色运动倡导者

城市试验田,由“新单位”策划并呈现。新单位通过为公司,个人和组织建立体验式和“无教师”式学习管理机制,实现真正的开放式创新。我们营造互动参与式的学习体验环境,为参与者对接中国创意、科技、以及社会创新领域的精英,以主持及开展“建设性”对话的形式来寻求“颠覆型”解决方案。我们引导参与者走出自己的“舒适区”,融入个人和团队的力量尝试改变。这不仅能激发灵感,增加信心,带来变革,更让参与者有更强的归属感,从而促进个人和组织创新上的飞跃。这当然不仅仅为了产生更多想法,更是赋予了其实现的可能。

新单位社群代表着几千名热爱并扎根于中国创意,科技及社会公益事业的人们,我们从彼此身上寻求灵感,展开对话,共同探求创新并且可持续性的解决方案。[/lang_cn]
