# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
1A
1. Start a campus composting programme to reduce waste and other green efforts. Provide containers for collecting organic waste from dining halls, cafeterias, and other food vendors, which would be composted off-site into fertiliser or potting mix.

2. Provide reusable containers in dining halls to reduce single-use plastic packaging from takeout meals served in the cafeteria or other on-campus dining locations. Disposable options like Styrofoam boxes and plastic baggies end up in landfills after one use.

3 Incentivize recycling - Rewarding students who pick recycled materials over nonrecyclables encourages more sustainable practises throughout the school community by rewarding individuals who make mindful choices about what they buy and how they dispose of it.

1B
Social media outreach, posters in residence hall lobbies and classrooms, and sustainability workshops like "How to Reduce Food Waste" can help spread these ideas across campus. This technique will raise HKU students' understanding of environmental issues and make it easier for them to participate in improving our planet!
