Planet vs. Plastics – Earth Day 2024 Campaign 

To celebrate Earth Day 2024, the JCSCCP ran the Planet vs. Plastics campaign on social media. Join the fight against single-use plastics right here in Hong Kong! Did you know that Hong Kong tosses out a whopping 2,331 tonnes of plastic every single day?* That’s a lot of waste and it’s time for a change! 

Let’s embrace a more sustainable lifestyle! Bring your own containers, utensils, and water bottles whenever you can. And if you forget, no worries! Check out the convenient Lunchbox Lending Programme on your university campus where you can borrow a reusable meal container! 

Together, we can make a real difference for our planet. Let’s refuse what we don’t need and reduce our waste.
