😭 MORE THAN DOUBLE THAN IN 2019 😭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 The rise of food takeaways during the pandemic is fuelling the use of more than 100 million disposable plastic items every single week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 Research released by @greeners_action, a Hong Kong-based environmental charity, has revealed the astonishing amount of waste produced by the rise in food takeaways amid the pandemic. Based on a survey conducted in 2020, the study estimated that the number of takeaway food orders in the city have surged 55% to reach 21.1 million every single week, up from 13.5 million before the pandemic began. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 Global scientific experts, including epidemiologists, chemists, doctors and virologists have confirmed that reusable containers and cups are completely safe to use during the pandemic, and will not raise the risk of coronavirus transmission as long as basic hygiene is employed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 Greeners Action added that businesses must also play a role in eliminating the amount of plastic waste they produce, and “should not forget their responsibilities towards protecting the environment during the pandemic”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 After collaborating with multiple eateries and restaurants in the Yuen Long district last year to provide cash rebates for those who ditch disposable packaging, the NGO has now partnered with supermarket chain AEON to provide customers with coupons and discounts if they bring their own reusables and avoid all single-use plastic items when they order from in-store food outlets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💔 While a step forward, Greeners Action is under no illusion that these incentives to promote the adoption of reusables are only a temporary fix and are far from a real solution, which must come from government action.

🌱🇯🇵 VEGAN OKONOMIYAKI⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
by @fullofplants⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okonomiyaki is a savoury Japanese pancake that originated in Japan. Even tho the original name means "what you like, grilled", one of the most famous versions is claimed to be created in Osaka after World War II (the famous Osaka version. Okonomiyaki is much older!) and contains eggs, pork, and cabbage.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thomas has created a plant-based version packed with marinated jackfruit, shredded cabbage, coconut bacon, topped with a sweet soy glaze, and drizzled with mayo and it sounds A-mazing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go to @fullofplants link in bio for the full recipe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌵 PLANTASTIC LEATHER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌵 PLANTASTIC LEATHER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cactus leather, the vegan-friendly and sustainable alternative developed by Mexican startup @desserto.pelle, has turned heads lately in the textile world, from landing a partnership with industry giant H&M to packing a punch in boxing gloves for the first time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Desserto’s innovation has meant that brands can finally turn away from their reliance on plastic-based leathers when it comes to launching cruelty-free pieces, and can instead choose a natural, toxin-free and PVC free material that rivals the durability and breathability of the real deal. Too good to be true?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve rounded up some of the amazing plant-based accessories, shoes and clothing made from cactus leather, proving that an entirely animal-free wardrobe is not just possible, it’s oh-so-fashionable too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

THE PROBLEM IS... 😱😱😱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
that bottom trawling in the fishing industry is responsible for releasing over a billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually – more than the emissions from global aviation. 💨✈️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to Trisha Atwood of Utah State University, co-author of the study who's finding we are sharing, “the ocean floor is the world’s largest carbon storehouse. If we’re to succeed in stopping global warming, we must leave the carbon-rich seabed undisturbed. Yet every day, we are trawling the seafloor, depleting its biodiversity and mobilising millennia-old carbon and thus exacerbating climate change. Our findings about the climate impacts of bottom trawling will make the activities on the ocean’s seabed hard to ignore in climate plans going forward.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the end, it comes out to this: if we want to see any major improvements in the current climate catastrophe, WE MUST PROTECT OUR OCEANS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💰☕️ TAG THE COFFEESHOP - Why is your vegan $💰☕️ TAG THE COFFEESHOP - Why is your vegan coffee more expensive?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Given that Asia is home to a large lactose-intolerant population, companies that charge customers extra for choosing plant-milk are not just taxing vegans, but are taxing a condition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Non-dairy milk alternatives come with a fraction of the environmental footprint. Conventional dairy farming depletes land nutrients, uses up vast amounts of water and fertiliser, and produces significant levels of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Sounds like cow milk should be the one being taxed...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The UK has started a petition to end extra charges for plant milk on @free4dairyfree. Shall we join?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👇CALL ON YOUR LOCAL COFFEE SHOP IN THE COMMENTS BELOW👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell them that in order to stay relevant in the market, they have to remove the surcharge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💚 KNOW OF ANY HONG KONG COFFEE SHOP NOT CHARGING EXTRA FOR PLANT-BASED MILK? 💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Give them some love in the comments as well and mention why! Hopefully, we will all find in this section our new favourite place to grab a coffee, with no extra charge for changing the milk!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hongkong #852 #hkiger #hkfoodie #coffeeshopvibes #cafeteller #hkcafe #cafehoppinghk #plantbased #plantbasedlifestyle #instavegan #justvegan #vegancommunity #veganhk #veganshk #veganhongkong #vegansofinsta #veganforlife #vegannews #whatveganseat #dairyfree #dairyallergy #soymilk #soya #oatmilk #almondmilk #coconutmilk #香港咖啡店 #貝果 #香港カフ$
