Our Projects

1. We currently sell eco-friendly products online but plan to open a brick-and-mortar shop in the future. We plan to launch a service selling organic vegetables using only reusable and sustainable packaging. 

2.  On the last Wednesday of each month, we organize a community film screening on an ongoing environmental issue with a talk by a guest speaker who gives a damn about our planet and a hands-on eco-friendly activity. This event brings people together and helps raise awareness about sustainability through fun activities.

3.  Every month, we organize hikes to mountains in and around Kunming to pick up trash. 

4.  Green Solutions runs Zero Plastic Vegan Tours, a sustainable tour company that advocates for a plant-based diet and plastic-free lifestyle. We offer plastic-free vegan food tours at local wet markets, night markets and organic farms. There are currently two tours in Kunming and we seek to expand to other cities in southwest China；Dali would be the next one on the list.

我们的项目

1. 我们目前在线上销售环保替代产品，并计划在未来开设实体店。我们也正在筹划销售有机生态蔬菜，不使用任何塑料包装。

2. 每月最后一个周三, 我们会组织放映关于各种生态环境问题的纪录片。同时，每期我们都会邀请一位来自不同行业的环保主义人士分享他们可持续生活方式的经验，以及开展各种环境友好的用品的制作的活动。

3. 每个月我们组织山林清洁公益活动，我们会到昆明周边不同的山区清洁徒步线路上的垃圾。

4. Zero Plastic Vegan Tours(零塑素食游) 是Green Solutions旗下的一个可持续的旅游公司。提倡植物饮食和无塑料生活方式。我们会去当地的菜市场、夜市和有机农场等等。目前昆明有两个素食游活动。我们计划扩展到中国西南部的其它城市。近期，我们会在大理开展此项目。

Yilin, Photo Editor

Yilin is a nature person. Every time she goes somewhere new, she heads right to the local wet market, because they are full of energy, and you can find exotic and new things there but you can`t find anywhere else. She spent her childhood in Shenzhen witnessing rapid modernization and the disappearance of traditional markets and the characteristics of the city. She found Leo`s article about the wet market in Kunming by accident. She hopes the wet markets in China can still retain their fun and traditional quality during development. As a vegan, she also pays attention to environmental protection and supports Leo’s concept. Yilin hopes more people can join and take actions to protect our homeland.

意琳，照片编辑

意琳喜欢自然，每到一处旅游，首先会去的地方就是当地的老菜市场，因为那里仍旧保留着浓厚的人情味，更有些稀奇古怪的东西。从小生活在深圳，意琳看着这座城市快速的步入现代化，传统的市场也都改了新面貌，乡土气息也消失得无影无踪了。在偶然间看到Leo的公众号里面关于昆明菜市场的介绍后，意琳感觉很是有亲切感，她希望传统菜市场在城市发展的同时也能保留它特有的人文气息。作为一名素食主义者，意琳也很注重环保。看到Leo所提倡的环保理念，很是合拍。她希望更多人能够接受并采取行动，共同维护好我们的家园。

In his spare time, Morgan enjoys spending his time outdoors, hiking, running, and encouraging others to explore plant-based diets and zero-waste lifestyles.
