		<description><![CDATA[Here is how I would see the typical Chinese citizen living their life in the year 2140. Why Chinese? Because China WILL lead the environmental crusade through this century. They have the brain power (population x education x competition), the will and importantly, don&#8217;t live in a democratic country&#8230; these billions of people will be pushed into changing their lifestyle fundamentally with little choice but to comply or face severe consequences. 7am: Zhi Wen wakes-up to a flowing symphony of [...]]]></description>
