Announcing China Green News

China Green News

The above link takes you to a newly-launched English-language website that brings you translated environmental news from Chinese sources. The site is run by Green Earth Volunteers, one of China's indigenous environmental NGOs. Founded in 1996, the NGO is based in Beijing.

I'm excited about this website not only because it is a valuable new resource for the English-speaking environmental research community in China, but also because I volunteer as a translation proofreader. I'm a small part of a huge effort that goes forth selecting, translating, and proofreading these articles.

Hopefully, as this site develops, it will become an increasingly useful resource for all of us out there who still read English about 1,000 times faster than we read Chinese.
