Starting from now, I will a post monthly UMA's save the world in 30 days check-list. Wanna join me to do one small thing everyday? The logic is simple- one small action x many people = big change. For instance, there are 7mil people in HK, taking a conservative assumption, let's say half of the population care and take action, so each person uses one less plastic bag a day meaning HK will use 3.5 mil plastic bags less a day. Multiply that by a week, 2 weeks, 1month, etc etc, the cumulative effect continues. The truth is everytime you throw away something plastic, you are adding to the "plastic soup" floating in the Pacific Ocean, which by the way, is growing at such an alarming rate stretching from Hawaii to Japan.
