The cow in the room: Hong Kong has the largest meat consumption in the world, according to the FAO.
If the world population was adopting HK beef consumption level, in theory our global greenhouse gas emissions would increase by more than 60%.

@JournoDannyAero Unfortunately, this is not compatible with pathways to limit global warming to 1.5��C, where CO2 emissions must decrease by at least 50% by 2030.

Is this the #NewNormal for southern China? It wasn’t like this 20 years ago. 320,000 people affected in the “biggest flood in living memory”. We need systematic change!

It’s getting worse every year. Locals fear for the future. Houses, bridges, infrastructure destroyed.

China is not alone in this, but this video reveals the countries pain.

捍衛人權 保護生命。談論政治及環境議題時，言論自由都是必不可少。正因如此，香港反抗滅絕亦堅定不移地支持香港人奮鬥。
Protecting human rights is protecting human lives. Freedom of speech is invaluable when speaking up about both political and environmental issues. #StandWithHongKong

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Devastating to see the development taking place in the USA.
Centuries of structural and systematic racism and social injustice won’t go away by itself.
We need a global structural change.
The injustices must come to an end. #BlackLivesMatter

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

We stand in solidarity with those demanding justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless other lives lost to systemic racism, white supremacy, and police brutality. #BlackLivesMatter
