My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
Transition to an All-Electric Public Transportation System
I hope to see Hong Kong transition its entire public transportation system to electric vehicles. Replacing traditional buses, taxis, and minibuses with electric alternatives can significantly reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, setting a regional precedent for environmental innovation.
Reduction of Plastic Packaging Waste
Another goal is to tackle the excessive use of plastic boxes, bags, and other packaging materials in Hong Kong. Implementing stricter regulations and promoting biodegradable or reusable alternatives can substantially reduce plastic waste and encourage a more sustainable consumer culture.
Cleaner Beaches and Natural Environments
I would like to see cleaner beaches and better-preserved natural environments. Regular clean-up initiatives, preventing illegal dumping, and enforcing environmental protection laws are essential to maintaining Hong Kong’s natural beauty and ensuring it remains pristine for future generations.
