Good morning.

I’m happy to welcome our first Leader of the Week, Cosmo Lo, who will be taking over today’s High Tide to share the news, events, and other things that matter to him in the city.

Know someone who should be one of our Leaders of the Week? Let us know by replying to this e-mail or sending us a message on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

I’ll let Cosmo take it from here.

Dear High Tide subscribers,

I am a sustainability professional with experiences in circular economy and stakeholder engagement. Currently, I am completing a master degree in International and Public Affairs at the University of Hong Kong. I also volunteer for ImpactHK and lead their weekly Kindness Walks to deliver necessities and warmth to the homeless.

Feel free to reach out to me at locosmo@gmail.com or on LinkedIn.

News

Voice your opinion on the government’s latest recycling scheme here.

The Hong Kong Government is conducting a public consultation on a producer responsibility scheme for beverage packaging. The proposed legislation will provide a financial incentive to those returning their finished plastic bottles. You can find more details and share your thoughts on the theme here by next Friday (21 May).

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is collaborating with ImpactHK to conduct a city-wide census on the homeless population. They are recruiting Cantonese-speaking volunteers to join them for a survey evening on 9 July. Please contact candice@impacthk.org if you are interested.

The New York Times reports a new rapid test has been developed to detect patients with respiratory symptoms whether they have COVID-19 or the flu. While many places around the world are still working hard to contain COVID-19, Hong Kong has been very lucky to have a public programme that offers free vaccination to all residents aged 16 or above. Find out more details and book your appointment on covidvaccine.gov.hk
