The Green Earth

The Green Earth is a Hong Kong-based environmental advocacy group founded by Edwin Lau Che-feng. The organization is currently newsworthy due to its concerns regarding the environmental impact of new infrastructure projects and its criticism of existing waste management practices. Recently, The Green Earth has voiced concerns that a planned supercomputing hub in the Northern Metropolis could become Hong Kong's largest electricity consumer, advocating for energy efficiency standards to mitigate carbon emissions. Furthermore, the organization has highlighted gaps in the classification of landfill waste, arguing that the lack of detailed data undermines Hong Kong's green initiatives. Founder Edwin Lau Che-feng, a veteran environmentalist, is stepping back from the front lines of advocacy. The Green Earth remains relevant as a vocal critic and advocate for improved environmental policies and practices in Hong Kong.
