DearChina.org is about engagement. It's about recognizing the fact that China will play a major role in determining the possibility for a sustainable world. It's not about criticism. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts, feelings and concerns; a chance to shed a little light on the fact we didn't get it right in the West, and in our pursuit of bigger, faster, softer, more we gave up more than we had bargained for.

Dear China,

As things keep chugging along over there, you most definitely don't want to emulate the West's definition of success via 'stuff'. We've screwed it all up leaving a trail of pollution, bloated consumers and then some. I know you can buy lots of stuff; your economy is booming and all. But trust us, acquisition of stuff won't make you happy. Don't make the mistakes we have that have put us in the sustainability pickle we're all in!

亲爱的中国

在你迅速蓬勃发展时,请你一定不要效法西方人自以为是的成功。我们做错了,我们以为生产越多东西会让我们越快乐,但是我们得到的却是环境的污染以及过度膨胀的消费者。我知道经济急速发展带给你很强的购物力。但是请相信我们,东西越多不会使你越快乐。不要犯跟我们同样的错误,请以永续发展的准则来生产。祝顺利
Kierstin
