We all like finding gifts<\/a> under the Christmas tree<\/a> with our name on them. But the confronting the wasteful wreckage of paper and boxes after unwrapping can be a real buzzkill. In 2019, each Hong Kong resident threw out 1.47kg of waste each day<\/a>. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of disposable hygiene products, this number may have increased significantly over the last two years. But the more pressing issue is that Hong Kong only has three landfills in which to pile up the city\u2019s waste, and we have a very wasteful consumer culture in the 852. Going green with your holiday season, even if you only make small changes in your household, can make a big difference long-term, and also helps encourage others around you to waste a little less this Christmas. One easy change to make is to switch to sustainable gift wrapping by reusing and recycling supplies that you may already have at home.<\/p>\n
