Plastic-Free Hong Kong 2024
Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong initiates the “Plastic-Free Hong Kong” Campaign for 13 years to arouse public concern on plastic pollution (previously called “No Plastic Bottle Day”). Hong Kong government started the first stage in controlling the usage of single-use utensils and materials, to build up the sustainable foundation to reduce plastic waste. In April 2024, most of the single-use plastic cannot be served in the restaurant. More locations can be found to refill water and more single-use plastic utensils are replaced by other materials. Hopefully, the plastic pollution may have continuous improvements after the implementation.
The theme of Plastic-Free Hong Kong 2024 is "Plastic-Free Travel". It aims to encourage the public to reduce plastic waste and develop green habits in the outing, travelling and touring. Our theme activity “Plastic-Free Post and Video Collection” is now launched to receive your interesting and useful ideas and experiences to reduce plastic pollution in the travel. We would like to share your pretty stories. 8 outstanding posts will be selected and voted to gain the award of the most favourite Plastic-Free Travel post. (Chinese version posters only)
The signature event “Plastic-Free Hong Kong 2024: Plastic-Free Travel Fun Day” will be held on 24-11-2024 (Sunday) at 6/F, Sports Hall, Activity Building of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong. The event is also the Finishing Ceremony of the "Project Be W.I.S.E sponsored by Jockey Club Trust Fund. The participants can enjoy the plastic-free game stalls, participate in the YMCA service units green exhibitions, energy-saving quiz and other funfair activities.
