  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!
