Develop the mindset to create sustainable solutions – a story started from plastic
[This is a talk in Changemaker Gear Up Training Series (GUTS)]
Not everyone can be an engineer, but everyone can acquire the "engineer mindset"!

Mr. Chen Dah Ren, George, the Co-founder and CEO of Ecoinno HK Limited, will speak about his entrepreneurship journey in green business. Founding and operating a Hong Kong-based technology company with a mission of providing a 100% zero plastic solution, he will share his motivation for creating sustainable solutions for our environment, and how "engineer mindset" helped him and his team generate innovative ideas. Kickstart your changemaking journey now!
Speaker:
Ms. Rebecca Ngan
Founder of the Mongrel Club and an experienced animal-welfare practitioner, has since her childhood been engaged with domestic pet cats and spouted her love for animals.
She spent almost two decades promoting animal welfare at the SPCA and she also founded the Mongrel Club dedicated to promoting Mongrels, the mixed breed dogs which had once been much prejudiced by the local community.
Witnessing the growing degree of inclusiveness towards pets, Rebecca looks forward to seeing a more pet-friendly Hong Kong with policies supporting pets and their owners being formulated in years to come.
