Hong Kong Cleanup Challenge

We are dealing with a serious trash issue in Hong Kong, and the world. Did you know, for example, that in Hong Kong, every day, we throw away over 16,000 tonnes of trash – including an estimated 1,368,000 disposable plastic bottles, 1,000 tonnes of plastic bags and countless more tonnes of plastic wrapping and packaging. Hong Kong generates 6 million tonnes of trash a year – the weight of 350 blue whales. Clearly, this is not sustainable. Our landfills are full, and we consume and throw away more than our city’s infrastructure and surrounding ecosystems can handle, jeopardising wildlife, economies, and our own health and safety. It’s time we took responsibility for our actions.

You can make a difference, through action and awareness – why not consider signing up for the Hong Kong Cleanup Challenge?
