If people break the laws of nature, it will be fed back to people in the future. We cannot regard the surrounding environment as a free commodity, do not know how to cherish it and arbitrarily destroy it.
In recent years, the concept of green life has continuously appeared in people’s vision. It promotes green and low-carbon travel, maintains diligence and thrift, and encourages everyone to implement a civilized and healthy lifestyle. In Hong Kong, Green life is very common in the whole society, and green breath can be seen everywhere.
1. Change consumption eating habits
Hong Kong is a seaside city and seafood is a favorite food of local people. Every year, this city consumes a large amount of seafood, and marine resources inevitably appear overfished. Under such circumstances, the official administration promptly took steps to guide residents to adopt environmentally friendly consumption methods.
On the environmental protection of seafood every year, we strongly encourage the consumption of local ingredients to avoid excessive carbon emissions caused by excessive long-distance transportation. The government also advocates removing shark fin and other ingredients from the feast menu and replacing them with edible fungi to allow everyone to experience green living from their eating habits.
In terms of tableware materials, Hong Kong people also continue to innovate, and continue to publicize residents to abandon edible plastic tableware and launch a series of environmentally friendly tableware that can be degraded by microorganisms for timely recycling.
2. Vigorously strengthen the recycling rate of waste
Hong Kong residents produce a lot of domestic garbage and industrial garbage every day. How to recycle this garbage is a big problem to test the “Pearl of the Orient” government.
In order to vigorously promote a green lifestyle, the official administration has specifically implemented relevant legislation and regulations for recycled materials. The recovered solid waste is recycled in different places according to different types. The waste in landfills is also processed as technically as possible Recycling.
Under the strong call of the official administration, residents have actively cooperated to embed a new environmental protection culture into daily life. Many people spontaneously promote new environmental protection knowledge and strive to become environmental protection volunteers. In various communities, you can see volunteers guiding residents to recycle materials. In family education, parents also inculcate environmental protection concepts to their children. Every weekend, the Hong Kong Green Workshop will hold a waste-to-treasure course to teach everyone how to recycle the garbage in their homes. Many parents will take their children to study.
3. The rise of green buildings
In addition to changing the way of life, the official administration has also made great efforts in building construction. In Hong Kong’s construction industry, a dedicated environmental assessment system has been created to conduct environmental assessments for each new construction project. If it fails, construction will not be allowed. Among these new buildings, the Jubilee College of the Open University has become a major symbol of green architecture. Its highlight is that its exterior walls are decorated with vertical greenery, which has become a very beautiful landscape in Hong Kong. At the same time, the building uses a solar glass curtain wall to absorb solar energy, and the installed windmills rely on natural forces for ventilation, which greatly reduces energy loss.
Sum up
Hong Kong’s society is benchmarked by green living, and the wording and deeds are all about the concept of environmental protection, making the whole society and the ecological environment more and more harmonious. With the environmental protection concept deeply rooted in society, HK society will renew more beautiful and exciting vitality.
