10 steps to a much lighter eco-impact

There seems to be endless discussion of Hong Kong's carbon emissions and use of plastic bags.

Recycle the millions of PVC pockets and lanyards generated by the numerous trade fairs;

Use recycled polypropylene to make the millions of bags handed out to people attending the fairs;
