This may be lots of packaging for a lone squash, but at least none of it’s plastic @marksandspencer 👏🏼

[Jed Kaplan @jedokaplan]

Tired of ridiculous supermarket packaging in HK? HKU students are running a survey "to investigate what Hong Kong residents think and do about reducing packaging waste during daily shopping..." Give your opinion! https://t.co/Tmj0eeaQfJ @Wellcome2HellHK

Hey @marksandspencer curious to know how you have reduced your emmissions delivering to your Mid Levels, Hong Kong store in a diesel truck?

#greenwashing

This is what we like to see

Shopping without plastic wrapped everything - amazing! @Wellcome2HellHK

This sounds like a question for @DoleTweets, whose bananas look a *bit* different on its site’s “environmental responsibility” section 🧐

[Ian Carroll @IanCarroll_hk]

Is it really necessary to wrap bananas in plastic? @Wellcome2HellHK #ecosystem

[Wellcome to Hell @Wellcome2HellHK]

Top tip: Go plastic-free by using a paper bag to carry your plastic-wrapped mangos.

The irony of this sign at the supermarket 🤦🏽‍♀️ when will they stop wrapping every single veg and fruit in plastic? #HongKong

What is it with you finance capitals?

Some of us do @je_nakajima!

One of the hardest challenges is to be green in Hong Kong , options get greatly reduced if you decide to go plastic free. Do HKers even care ? #plasticfree #HongKong #pollution

[Wellcome to Hell @Wellcome2HellHK]

Make sure to bring a reusable bag to put all of your plastic-wrapped vegetables in

[Aaron Busch @tripperhead]

#BREAKING: Hong Kong’s only drinks carton recycler may stop taking plastic-lined receptacles starting this Saturday as its government-backed landlord refuses to budge despite being met with criticisms of it smothering the city’s recycling industry. https://t.co/2NERCN9g96
