关于我们

Nitin graduated in architecture from Bangalore (2007) and completed his Masters in Strategic Design from Milan (2010) after which he moved to Shanghai to work in a branding agency. He began leading 'Green Drinks China' in 2011, which was later rebranded to Green Initiatives in 2013. He also works with GIGA, an organization assessing that combines the development of building standards with cloud software and technology to increase the accessibility of healthy buildings globally.

Nitin believes that all around us we have governments and economies pushing for GDP growth by encouraging greater consumption. Sustainability is about mindful consumption. It is about better health - of people, of our cities, of our planet - which can only be achieved through developing better habits in our everyday lives. And its about making sustainability simple, convenient, affordable, and accessible.

From the invention of the wheel to weapons of destruction; the last few centuries has seen man progress at break neck speed. But at what cost? How long can our planet sustain this brutal attack on our fragile environment? That’s why I believe that if each one of us does our bit by adopting small changes to our lifestyles, we can bring about this revolution. The clock is ticking, we need to act soon.

As a native Shanghainese, Emily has personally witnessed the climate change and environmental deterioration in this city. China has sacrificed much to boost its economy and she believes that the priority needs to shift towards real sustainable development. Emily's motivation is to get involved in protecting the environment by doing whatever she can to help as an individual, with the belief that even a little effort could lead to major impact eventually.

Emily holds an MSc in International Relations from Bristol, UK; and a BA in English and Bachelor of Management in Finance Management from SHNU. She also currently works as a Senior Acceleration Manager at XNode, helping startups grow in China.

Across countries, industries, generations, people in our modern world acknowledge that our lives our out of balance: for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our earth. There are new ways that we can think, understand issues, change our actions and make new decisions that help to change our reality. That's the kind of learning Robyn has been striving to focus on.
She has an M.Ed in Adult Education from University of British Columbia, and experienced in higher education and corporate learning. Robyn is also passionate about engaging learners at all levels, building communities and helping people find meaning in their lives.
