7pm, 10 October 2018, at Cafe 8, Central Ferry Pier No. 8

Together with Hong Kong Green Drinks we will be hosting an event to discuss the environmentally damaging issue of textile waste and how Hong Kong is planning to tackle it. Alongside the talk we will also be hosting a mini clothes swap, so be sure to bring along 1-10 items you don't wear anymore to swap them out for another one! Register for the event here.
