    2. offer reusable water bottles and coffee mugs. Offering discounts for students and staff who bring their own reusable containers for food and drinks in canteens.

    3. HKU can partner with local environmental organizations to raise awareness of the issue of water and food waste.


    STRATEGIES:
    1. Create student led environment club to drive these water saving policies to HKU
    2. create events and campaigns to raise awareness to students and staff]]>     2023-02-08 08:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473035919     A10 https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473036141 1. 1. Competition of who comes up with the best food waste reduction campaign with money reward
    2. Put a fee on wasted food
    3. Provide 3 size options for every food

    2. Instagram, large posters on campus]]>     2023-02-08 08:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473036141     A2 Henry Chan, Stanley Fung, Elvin Wong https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473036326 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!]]>     2023-02-08 08:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473036326     B7/B8 https://padlet.com/hkufoa/7nsa389oqo9wieaw/wish/2473036373 1)charge people for wasting food (eg $100/g)
