香港現時每日產生超過3,000公噸廚餘,佔都市固體垃圾量三份一。如果按現時情況, 數年內便會填滿堆填區。廚餘問題難以於一夜間逆轉, 我們又如何出一分力?
減少廚餘問題是聯合國可持續發展目標的其中之一,可見廚餘處理對全球長遠發展的具深切影響。本年度「『順龍仁澤學義同行』服務學習培訓計劃」目標讓同學經歷「培訓」、「體驗學習及規劃服務」與「實踐服務」三個階段,從而了解香港的廚餘問題, 並實踐所學, 籌備及實踐服務。過程中, 同學將參與個人性格特質、團隊合作、義工服務策劃和實踐、以及思考設計的培訓工作坊,了解自己的個人特質, 從而擬訂發展方向。透過與組員一同實踐為期一星期的服務, 參加者可藉此鍛鍊個人組織及溝通能力。
The 3,000 tones food waste produced every day constitutes more than one-third of the solid waste in Hong Kong. It is predicted that Hong Kong will run out of landfills if we keep dumping food this way in a few years’ time. It seems impossible to reverse the situation overnight. But does it mean there’s nothing we can do to alleviate the problem?
To echo with SDG12 of the United Nation – Responsible Consumption and Production, VolTrekkers will work towards reducing and recycling food waste. By joining this program, you will be provided with various training workshops, experiential-learning opportunities. You will learn the cause and impact of food waste problem. You will work as a team to plan and implement a service project about reducing food waste and educate the people around you about food waste problem. What’s more? You will be able to develop your organising skills and communication skills.
