“In Singapore, people are more aware
because of the penalties so I recycle
too. I conveniently dispose bottles
and cans to rubbish bin in Hong Kong
since there’s no regulation”

• More conscious when she was in SG
• Try to use reusable container when possible, eg. brings water
bottles to gym, bring her own grocery bag for groceries, will not
ask for extra plastic bag
• Pay no attention to any campaign in Hong Kong
ACTION
Garbage disposal
• Foods, snacks, beverage some thing to eat/drink on-the-go
• Dispose as the first bin comes up on her way
Recycling
• Will only recycle when there is a recycle bin near her, it will be
far even if its just 2 mins walk away from where she is
• Won’t say no to plastic bags or straws, will just take them when
given
THINKING AND FEELING
• Convenience, as she is always on the go
• Her consciousness changes based on where she is, the culture of
the city and community
• No rules to follow - no regulations
on managing garbage and recycling in Hong Kong, unlike SG
