Sharon is a Biological Science class of 2022 graduate from HKUST. She has always loved nature and her environmental awareness amplified when she took up the Environmental Science course where she gained knowledge about different types of environmental pollution which made her realise the severity of harm that Earth was facing. Therefore, she hopes to remedy it by cleaning up the waste that people has left behind, and to take a step further, transforming them into useful products.

My Sustainability Goals for 2022:

Although VOCs have a short lifespan in the atmosphere, they are still greenhouse gases (GHGs). If we overlook them and do not carry out policies to curb them, we will lose a great opportunity to block a large source of GHG emission and hence, pollute the atmosphere continuously without limitations. Therefore, I hope the government will draft more policies to prevent any GHGs from reaching the atmosphere, which will improve climate change.
