Living sustainably. Tackling your waste.

‘Small Steps. Big Changes.’

Since 2018, Hong Kong alone has sent an average of 1.53 kg per person to the landfill. Given the 2020 Covid-19 global pandemic, the waste crisis in Hong Kong (and in several other countries) has dramatically risen due to the single-use disposable and medical waste to avoid contamination: PPE face masks, gloves, disposable cutleries and coffee cups, plastic bags, and pre-packaged food in supermarkets and local shops.

My mission is to not lecture about your wasteful habits, but to help you change your lifestyle habits for the better. Even if it’s a small habit. All those habits will accumulate for the better in reducing your (wasteful) habits. No one is perfect. I, myself, am certainly not! But we need all the hoomans to be imperfectly good than perfectly good.

I hope to inspire you to make better habitual changes for the already stressed out Mama Earth with not just throwing sustainable facts and news at you, but to also help you live as low impact as possible with life hacks, DIYs, how to shop more sustainably in conventional shops to shopping package-free ethical things (granted not everyone can afford it!) to how to write to your local district / council to suggest changes for your local neighbourhood to coping with your mental health while making lifestyle changes and participating more in community projects. Everyone is individually different - we need all the warrior braiinssss in finding small ways to ‘tweak’ our (consumption and wasteful) behaviour to create a huge impact over time. We don’t have long but it’s never too late to start now. It might sound hard but as I keep reminding myself everyday that ‘small steps, big changes’ is the true activist and individual approach of doing better in an uncontrollable capitalist society.

As Dirk Gently would say, “Everything is Connected.”
