Environmental groups in Hong Kong

19 July, 2021 by Melissa Stevens 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/environmental-groups-hong-kong/

We all love hitting the harbour on a junk, or spending a day hiking in the city’s stunning scenery. But the problem of pollution in Hong Kong’s environment is all too frequently evident. It can be seen in the waste in the ocean, as well as in the amount of litter and the poor air quality. Fortunately, there are many environmental groups in Hong Kong doing their bit to reduce and eradicate pollution. What’s even better is that they welcome volunteers, so we can all pitch in to make a difference!

They have volunteers from all walks of life, providing support in a range of ways from office-based tasks to on-site campaigning.
