Families all over Hong Kong are becoming more and more eco-conscious. We strongly support these families in their hunt for a more conscious lifestyle and the brands and events that are helping them give back and change their ways! With Earth Day approaching, we are very lucky to have a slew of amazing events targeting the family. Check out our round-up of the 8 Earth Day events in Hong Kong for the whole family. See you there!
Green Is The New Black chose Earth Day weekend to give Hong Kong its very first Conscious Festival. The festival is not so much about nature as it is about nurture at large – about nurturing our environment, yes, but also our children, our minds and bodies, our businesses and creativity. You will find 2-days of mindful shopping (over 70 vendors), workshops, planet-happy food, educational games, live music, and plant-based glitter facepaint. It's for the whole family and it's free.
