[First Name] This week we are remembering. 17 years ago today, an email was written that sparked the birth of HK heartbeat a few short weeks later. Back then, there were a few of us doing out best to support each other and promote natural living in Hong Kong. It was the height of the dot com explosion and before the internet changed our lives. Words like holistic or conscious were known only among our community. Sustainable and zero-waste lived in the world of poverty. Then, social media made it easier to connect and share and now social media is challenging with anonymous users posting a growing volume of information missing source references. Fast is faster, fear-based marketing is used to sell everything and privacy is a quaint notion when convenience saves time. Today, we have more opportunities to switch off and go natural and be the difference. It is rejuvenating to support the kids willing to get out and clean up. Last Saturday, our Plastic Free Seas adventure involved getting dropped at a remote beach by Sea Shepherd's Gary Stokes to set up and cook Beyond Burgers donated by Hemingway's while the kids learned about marine conservation and visited our pink dolphins. It is a recipe for success. It is rewarding to welcome new members willing to invest in the future of HK heartbeat in exchange for an introduction to our growing community. It is refreshing to see new businesses and professionals joining the network and a joy to re-connect with members who continue to provide natural products, services and programs. It is a relief to finally catch up with some calendar updates. It is a request that you celebrate my birthday on Saturday by joining volunteer group for World Cleanup Day this Saturday. Later this month, IRIS Your Escape returns to Central and we have 2 free passes and a special rate to attend the seventh health & wellness festival. If you haven't already done so, please sign up as a Community Member to stay in touch. How will you remember how far we've come? Naturally,
Founder "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." Confucius HK heartbeat is produced with the generous support of our personal and business members -- please consider a contribution. Members | Calendar | Directory | Marketplace | Contribute |

Save 25% on clean water at homeAct now and make a positive change in your world. Enjoy fresh, clean water at your fingertips. AcquaVibe water filtration systems use natural pressure, eliminating impurities in the body, adding trace minerals and balancing pH. A new study at the State University of New York found that more than 90% of branded bottled water contains tiny pieces of plastic. We are getting into the habit of carrying our own bag, using our own lunch box and bringing our own bottle in our journey toward a zero-waste lifestyle, but as plastic keeps getting smaller, the reason for ditching plastic keeps getting bigger ... read more |
