My Sustainability Goals for 2023:
I hope to see a more equitable society where individual differences are not only tolerated, but celebrated, and where Hong Kongers of all walks of life can be themselves in this wonderfully vibrant city… be it at work, around their family and friends or in broader society.
I also wish for a more expanded and accessible recycling program and some investment in renewable energy, which Hong Kong is lagging on significantly.
