Food Recycling Action @Wet Market 糧善 - 剩食回收行動

Hong Kong generates thousands of tonnes of food waste daily, much of it still safe to eat. Join us at Lei Muk Shue Estate Market to collect surplus food from vendors for redistribution. Through this hands-on experience, you'll help reduce waste and support those in need.

香港每天產生數千噸廚餘，其中不少仍然安全可食用的食材卻被送往堆填區，既浪費資源，也對環境造成沉重負擔。你將前往荃灣梨木樹邨街市，向合作商戶收集仍可安全食用的剩餘食物，經檢查處理後，重新分配予區內有需要的街坊。透過參與，你不僅可親身了解食物浪費的問題，並為減廢及資源重新分配出一分力。
