Hong Kong's Keep Clean Ambassador, Ah Tak, challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature, asserting that humans often take the environment for granted. Appointed official mascot by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department in 2016, this green, dinosaur-like character dedicates his life to promoting environmental love and respect.

His message was delivered at the TEDxTongChongSt COUNTDOWN virtual event on October 15, 2020. COUNTDOWN, a global TED initiative, seeks to accelerate climate crisis solutions, targeting a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 for a zero-carbon future. This TEDx event was independently organized. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

The widespread disconnect between humans and plastic waste is alarming. We consume vast amounts of plastic yet often remain unaware of its fate, whether it's recycled or simply dumped into

The widespread disconnect between humans and plastic waste is alarming. We consume vast amounts of plastic yet often remain unaware of its fate, whether it's recycled or simply dumped into landfills.

Current innovations, like switching straws, are insufficient. A fundamental shift in our mindsets and lifestyles is crucial to address the urgent challenge of single-use plastic. We must change how we view plastic to foster real change.

Agriculture accounts for nearly three-quarters of tropical deforestation. The global food system is the largest consumer of land and water, and the biggest single emitter of greenhouse gases.

While we can feed the world's growing population, this requires a fundamental reevaluation of our dietary choices and food production methods.

Stephen H. Schneider Award recipient Katharine Hayhoe states that intelligence does not predict an individual's feelings about climate change. Instead, the most significant factor is one's position on the political spectrum.

Hayhoe emphasizes that political alignment is the primary determinant of climate change perspectives. Therefore, initiating discussions from a foundation of shared identity is essential for effective communication on the topic.
