Sustainable in the City: Maintaining a Zero Waste Lifestyle in Beijing | the Beijinger: For many Westerners who have come to China, it’s like landing in an alternative universe – where according to the sheer amount of single-use disposable plastic in circulation, there’s no fear of climate change or polluted oceans. At meal times, the streets heave with delivery men, bringing cheap, convenient food packaged in plastic. While other countries are banning plastic bags, China is wrapping fruit and vegetables in cling wrap at warp speed.
My first visit to Beijing, China, was 15th of April to 15th of May 2007. Beijing is in my heart forever since then. Our 3 room apartment is in the Minan Residential Complex at Dongzhimen Nei Dajie, Dong Cheng District, Beijing. Local street is Dong Yang Wei Jie. Close to Gui Jie food street & the subway station Dongzhimen, busses, bicycling or walking to see all of central Beijings interesting sights. I´ve been to Beijing also in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014. Who could ask for more?
