The Tour

The China Green Tour is conceived as a participatory non-profit event to promote environmental awareness in China by spreading knowledge of both issues and solutions and to promote greener action through dialogue and  positive examples individual, collective, non-profit and business.

In June 2010, a month after the official opening of the Shanghai Expo, in eight universities across China we will screen documentaries on the main eco-issues of our current environmental crisis: water, waste, energy, climate change, urbanisation, food, deforestation, desertification..., and present positive examples of pragmatic solutions from all over the world.

Films and Lectures on Solutions

Twenty major green documentaries will be screened to give the public an informative and innovative up-to-date understanding of green issues. The screenings will be followed by the lectures.

Scientists, engineers, social workers, entrepreneurs, Nobel prize winners, architects, innovative thinkers and personalities from the world of politics, sports and the arts will talk about their experiences in reflecting on and producing successful solutions.

These 40 exceptional lectures and examples engaging with issues and locally-adapted solutions, will be filmed, edited, translated into English, Chinese and Spanish then made freely available on the world wide web.

The wide range of topics and guest speakers, relayed by traditional media and our web supporters network, will help to promote solutions not only in universities but across civil society in China and elsewhere.

Solutions for a Better Planet is a non profit organization initiated by an international group of friends, professionals in their fields, who decided to use their skills and networks as their contribution to make the world a better place. Solutions for a better planet is dedicated to raising awareness of environmental issues and, more importantly, of solutions for them.

Its aim is to create an international network of individuals, professionals, scientists and companies concerned about their social responsibility, who will spread information about existing solutions and facilitate communication between individual, organisations and countries using events, free online information, web tools and action in their community.

The CHINA GREEN TOUR is its first major event.
