\u201cActually it\u2019s easy to go by public transport, you just a bus, a van, or even MTR you can, like within an hour you can get to Hong Kong\u2019s remote area. And you don\u2019t have to plan a lot of time, it might be a short trip, just for maybe a morning or an afternoon, and you can get to see the beautiful sceneries of Hong Kong…”<\/span>

…So I remember one time when I get to Lion \u2014 there\u2019s a mountain called Lion Rock \u2014 and actually it takes one or two hours of hike and then you get to see different sides of Kowloon area, yeah the whole scenery of the city, but it\u2019s just next to \u2014 when you see high rise buildings in the city, but then just next door you see beautiful mountains nearby, so it\u2019s pretty interesting.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re seeing the kids enjoy nature so much, and when they say something that is really positive, it\u2019s very encouraging to us, and it\u2019s a very nice example to tell the adults how the future generation think about their world and what they think is important to them. So, when, like, especially the older generation…”<\/span>

Lily Lam Transcription<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
…get this message, they may have a second thought of, because I want to give a better nature to our future generation, they may have a change something to, yeah, to our environment<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n

\u201cAs an educator \u2014 I need to, like, be a role model and I feel like this is the most effective way to protect our environment because you can do it every day. And, yeah, I avoid using plastic products. Yeah, but, like, I got the wrap, like the eco wrap to replace my plastic bag for getting the bread from the bakery, and groceries, and yeah…”<\/span>

…If you are saying the most impactful practice it would be the two of these.\u00a0<\/span>I hope Hong Kong can really ban the plastic bottles and the government really can install the water fountains in every of their facilities. I think that\u2019s a really big move, already, and it\u2019s not a very difficult thing to do<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring 2003 we got a SARS disease \u2014 there\u2019s a disease related to lung, yeah, there\u2019s, so there\u2019s a big thing going on here and actually, at that time, the country park visitors, the numbers of country park visits were like, rose so high because everyone just get to, not, they don\u2019t want to stay in the city…”<\/span>

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lily Lam Transcription<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
…because there are so many disease and they are afraid of getting infection so they just go to the wild and it\u2019s free for everyone so they can just go on to wherever they want. So I think it\u2019s very important, no matter for relaxation or even for health purposes, Hong Kong\u2019s natural environment is very important to humans.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n
