Earth Day

Day 11 at work, Day 3 blogging.

Dear Readers,

I was going to pass and not write today, but I cannot give up, especially on day three! lol... It is now 10.30pm, crazy time to still be semi working- don't worry, I'm at home =)

So did everyone know it was Earth day on Saturday? As an act to raise awareness towards global warming-> those who voted for Mother Earth switched their lights off at 8.30pm local time. Me, being situated in the city of lights, was absolutely stunned to see Hong Kong switch their lights off. It was so moving to see how there's still hope that people actually care about the habitat we live in.

Here is my snapshot of where I was: Outside Kowloon, Elements, HK. Lights> Off... no, it's not just a blank picture of a black sky... you can kind of see a skyline there with little dim lights. Great job Hong Kong =)
















I was so moved by this whole act because I'm actually quite obsessed with the idea of creating a more sustainable world. Those who know me through my MA would know how much I brag on about CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilities).

I think this world is so precious and is in great need to be looked after- I'm sure those of you from HK would agree for sure... like, really- how much pollution do you really want to breath in everyday?!

Well, back to my ecommerce mission-> From square one, I wanted to integrate Sustainable Developments into the structure of the supply chain. I thought to myself that it'll be awesome if this boutique had some sort of ethical thinking behind it...
I'm looking to start with small things such as use ecofriendlier packaging, recycled cardpaper to produce gift cards, etcetc. No biggy action, but I think all small starts help. =)

Small note to all> WELL DONE to all those who participated in Earth Hour. =)
