DESCRIPTION:Local Action, Global Impact: Holding Governments and Corporations 
 Accountable for Polluting China's Rivers\n\nA free happy hour event with 
 Zhao Zhong, a TIME Hero of the Environment, who will share stories of 
 successful grassroots strategies that force polluters to clean up their 
 act.\n\nWater pollution is one of China's most critical health and 
 environmental problems. There isn't a single city that provides safe tap 
 water to all of its residents, over 70 percent of lakes and rivers are 
 polluted, 75 percent of all health problems are linked to poor water 
 quality, and hundreds of "cancer villages" line the banks of polluted 
 rivers. \n\nRecognized as one of TIME Magazine's Heroes of the Environment 
 in 2009, Zhao Zhong founded Green Camel Bell, the first environmental 
 organization in Gansu province in northwestern China, in 2003. Under his 
 leadership, Green Camel Bell became one of China's most respected and 
 effective water pollution watchdogs, successfully pressuring factories to 
 stop dumping waste and toxins into the Yellow River. \n\nZhao Zhong now 
 helps Pacific Environment's local partners fight water pollution as our new 
 Beijing-based China program coordinator.\n
