This week, we are keeping up.
As usual, the first newsletter of the month is a big one with a full list of events on the community calendar to assist with your natural lifestyle.
Since the beginning, we have done our best to keep everyone up to date with what’s new and what’s on in Hong Kong and the job is getting bigger every day.
For years, HK heartbeat has kept our finger on the pulse of Hong Kong and watched new businesses come and go among our transient expatriate population while the pioneers continue to raise awareness and make positive change.
Staying in touch every week provides a unique perspective.
We are seeing changes everywhere.
The other day, when the air was particularly thick, we noticed how many people are talking about cleaning up rather than simply accepting the toxic haze as a cost of doing business. Yesterday, our own Margaret Chan at The World Health Organization reported the actual cost of air pollution in simple terms.
On the public day of the LOHAS show, the hall was packed with shopping trolleys as the lifestyle of health and sustainability takes hold among local residents who love good bargain.
Fast food companies whose customers would generally go for the cheap, processed options are adapting to change as we begin calculating the long-term medical expense of eating for less and realize our short-cut habits are costing more over time.
Government is collaborating with activists to halt the trade of shark fins and big companies are getting on board.
Shoppers rejecting the huge volume of unnecessary plastic packaging at supermarkets have decided to #trashthecheckout.
Our members who recognize the healthy growth are creating new campaigns like Wellness Week.
These are just a few of the changes we are noticing.
A quick peek at the March calendar is all that’s required to see just how many people are offering fresh options. We have included the whole month because it’s interesting to see what’s on and we haven’t even posted all of the events in our inbox.
It’s a big job, staying in touch, but it’s big fun feeling a part of the positive change happening around us every day.
Are you keeping up with us?
