This week, it’s all about sustainability.
To celebrate my birthday next week, I am gifting myself with a new fundraising campaign to build HK heartbeat into a sustainable business.
The vision has not changed and our world is ready for us.

Feedback from new friends offered a great boost and I’d love to spend more time in my happy place.
There’s lots to be done. Cocktails with egg shells were served in “compostable” plastic cups — industrial composting might be coming. If that’s the case, we best be learning all we can about composting.

The word is used in investor packets to secure investor confidence: sustainability (noun) the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level “the sustainability of economic growth”.
Marketers respond to fresh customer demand by using sustainable to promote everything.
In 2001 when that first email went out, Hong Kong was talking sustainable development along with green measures, a new sustainability assessment system and updates to the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance.

It will be great for the next 20 years to be easier than the last twenty.
Will you help?
Naturally,
Founder
