Rico Wong is deputy director of The Green Earth. He has dedicated himself to environmental education work in schools and communities for decades. To drive change, he initiated a local community centre for food surplus sharing in a public housing estate in 2013. Resource management, climate change and tree management are some of the issues he focuses on.

The whole point of the waste-charging scheme is to get people to reduce waste at source. Ahead of the scheme’s launch, residents could do a trash audit to understand how much they can save on prepaid garbage bags if they recycle.
