I've been supporting Ecovision's environmental events too for the past
3 years now. Growing up here in Hong Kong, I've seen first hand the
results of pollution we've created. I'm very concerned for our future
generations. We all read everyday in the news how the condition is
getting worse and worse. So indeed it is definitely time to do
something about it. As a means to stand against global warming, we need
to focus on the 3Rs Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and apply them in our
daily life, be it at school, at home, in the office and even when
shopping. I'm
sure most people have now heard about how quickly the ice berg's
are melting in the north and south poles – this is a very
significant signal of global warming. Some people in Hong Kong may
not realize how serious this is since it's happening so far
away from us. But what about what's happening right here in
Hong Kong? Almost everyday we can't see much blue sky, in
fact, we can barely see across the harbor some days!
The opening of an exhibition featuring amazing recycled material
designs in an eco fashion show "Discarded to Divine", was held on the
10th of April in Cyberport for Earth Day. It was an opportunity to see
how easy it is to make
something fabulous from commonly discarded urban Hong Kong items that
were on their way to the landfill. Check it out, the exhibition is on
going for the next 12 days.
I have made a pledge to do more. Please join me!
