Last year, I spent three months living a completely different lifestyle. From staying in a rural village for nine days to trekking at 15,000ft for weeks, what immersing myself in these customs and practices made me realize is that culture and climate change are far more interconnected than I’d ever considered. In this article, I explore 10 things I learnt from living out of my backpack in Nepal for 85 days.

After spending three months living in various regions, I couldn’t help but observe the different ways in which environmental matters manifest themselves in Nepal. In this post, I discuss my reflections on the differences between Nepal and Hong Kong and how this has reshaped my perception of the term sustainability.

Back in April, I conducted a TEDx talk on the topic of Everyday Activism. I’ve always believed that individual actions—regardless of how small they seem—have the capacity to instigate widespread social change. However, as I begin to expose myself to articles covering the subjects of environmental justice and climate change, my views have grown increasingly unsettled.

This time last year, I wrote an article titled Embarking on a Zero-Waste journey. One year later, I reflect on the process, my thoughts, and realizations.
