UN Sustainable Development Goals
In Hong Kong, tonnes of food waste are produced and disposed of at landfills every day. Not only does this impact our environment, it also creates a lot of waste. Join us to collect and redistribute edible surplus food from wet markets of Lei Muk Shue Estate, Tsuen Wan to the people in need.
香港每天產生數千噸的廚餘，當中有很多仍適合食用的食材被送到堆填區，十分可惜之餘還對環境造成負擔。你將到荃灣梨木樹邨街市向合作商戶收集仍可安全食用的剩餘食物，經檢查處理後，重新分配予區內有需要的街坊。你還可親身了解食物浪費的問題，亦為減廢及資源重新分配出一分力。
