| Our journey here has come to an end, but we'll carry on protecting this amazing environment! |
In Green Hong Kong's last episode, Fei and Kathryn sit down with our show scientist Inga to discuss some of the key, meaningful things we've learned. We discuss a few of the special things about Hong Kong, corals and wildlife, but talk about one of the biggest challenges facing Hong Kong's environment: waste management. We reflect on our interview with the EPD, as well as the global issue of too much plastic in our seas. At the end of the day, there are small changes we can all make in our daily lives to help reduce our impact on the environment. Simple things like bringing your own water bottle, choosing products with less or no packaging, saying no to straws, reducing meat consumption, etc., can all have a great positive impact. As Inga mentions, we must all realize that every individual's actions do have a meaningful impact, and we should never think that our individual difference is just too small! Every little action counts to making a greener Hong Kong.
