Abstract

The way we are using plastic is causing a global ticking time bomb. What is keeping us from doing more about this and why is it so difficult to kick the plastic habit? We will delve into what is being done now and how these “solutions” are working out for Hong Kong. By looking into a few case studies from EcoDrive, we will also explore together how we all help to do more.
