We’re consuming far more than our planet can keep providing. If we carry on like this, our projected population of 9.6 billion by 2050 will need 4.2 earth-like planets to maintain our current lifestyle in Hong Kong.

SDG Goal 12 looks at how we can all be more Responsible Consumers and Producers. How we buy, eat and use things and the ways we source and make them can make big differences to both our planet and its population. From upcycling clothes to eating odd shaped fruit to even making beer from uneaten bread, it’s time to get creative with the products we consume.

In this talk we’ll look at some current staitiscs, challenges and opportunities in responsible consumption and production, and suggest some ways we as individuals in Hong Kong can make a change.
