TEDxShanghai was an independently-organized chapter of the world-renowned TED Talks and we were very excited to be a part of it. Mihela spoke about rediscovering common sense and how it could be applied in the form of a Common Sense Index to inform consumers about the environmental and social impacts of their purchases. The event was streamed live on Tudou. More information at www.tedxshanghai.com.

At the same time, Naked Retreats are integrating Greennovate’s BEAT , Business environmental awareness training in their offer for corporate customers.

Greennovate returned from the third module at Fedex in Wuhan. With the goal of building a solid understanding of environmental basics as well as getting employees directly involved in raising environmental awareness in their community, the program has seen great enthusiasm from FedEx employees in Wuhan.

A total of 85 Wuhan-based FedEx employees have signed up to volunteer for this program. This time we covered challenges as carrying capacity, population and limited resources. It was also the first time that Fedex volunteers joined us in the evening and help in the local school to start with the simple waste separation project.We cannot only receive while not giving,” “We cannot only receive while not giving,”said Chris Li,FedEx HR executive in Wuhan . “I join the program to gain knowledge of the environment and deliver this knowledge to others. I hope it will be helpful to the world and our next generation.”
