What is your BS today ?
Just saw this on the roller of the refuse station next to our Wanchai shop. Morning breakfast has its perks.
This station is always busy and the staff there actually sorts some items (for anyone to pick) that can avoid landfill (best find so far: dj decks, rimowa suitcase, dysons...) definitely a good spot for .
Still, every single day, one or two fully loaded trucks leave from there to feed the ...
Should we it down like this matchstick suggests ? Are we ? What’s the you can’t stand anymore ? Is this BS ?
(such a big bs imo 😭) (don’t get me staryed on this one too)

We all deserve some Christmas cheers after such a rollercoaster year.

We have 1 x free pass to Santa’s Cabin (the best in town and tickets all gone in a few hours) at and 2 x Edgar goody bags to start our Xmas season.

Have you been naughty or nice with you reusable this year? Does your bottles and jars sing jingle refill all along ?

Tell us your best story, fun bit or tips about your adventure on the road to sustainability and our shop team will select the most inspiring or funniest on Monday 7/12!

Ho Ho Ho 🎅

By the way this year Santa’s cabin is really eco-friendly with augmented reality, another good way for an eco-Festive season

That button is inside all of us, every morning is a new beginning. Every push on it creates positive change, every step to more conscious living makes a difference . No matter what pill you go for the remedy comes from collective action. Enjoy some great local around and keep in mind that the “Earth” without “Art” is just “Eh”

Happy Easter to Everyone. Let’s wish for a true new beginning instead of going back to our previous normal. Normal was broken with widespread lack of respect for our planet, our nature and our care of each other so called conscious animals. So from our 🗿 to you - and keep your on.

Do you know tissue papers accounts for 7% of daily waste, closely follows food waste? 😰We can reduce the consumption by bringing back the habit of using handkerchiefs 👍🏼in our daily lives such as drying you hands 🙌🏼after a trip to the toilet and wiping away sweat🥵!

The use of handkerchief is environmental friendly; and Chief has put the idea on an even higher level🌏: The handkerchiefs from The Chief Project are made from high-quality fabrics from factories for high-end designer brands that were going to be discarded ♻– just because its pattern doesn’t quite fit with the season’s trend or was dyed a slightly different colour. They are 100% Hong Kong made🇭🇰, 100% cotton and 100% biodegradable. 💚
Come to feel the softness of their handkerchiefs in our Moon Street, Causeway Bay and K11 shops or shop online: https://www.edgar.hk/collections/the-chief-project

🛁 OUR ECO TIPS: BODY SCRUB 🛁

When we think of face & body scrubs we hardly ever think of plastic but unfortunately many commercial face & body scrubs are not only filled with CHEMICALS which are toxic to our skin 🚫 but also have huge amounts of MICRO-PLASTICS in them 🧴 These micro-plastics pollute our oceans, are consumed by our sea life 🦞 🎣 and if you eat seafood... are then consumed by you too 🤢
The alternative is easy: use scrubs made with coconut shell 🥥, salt 🧂, or coffee ground ☕️ All these alternatives are 100% natural and biodegradable, safe for your skin AND the planet 🌍 It’s a win-win!

A sea of fish 🐟🐠🐬or plastic?🥤🧴

Nine million tons of visible plastic waste wash into oceans each year.❗️ Turtle, seabirds, whales, and many other species were stuck in plastic bags, or burst with refuse inside their body😭. Are you willing to do something to stop these happen? 🚫

These tiny fish reveal our oceans’ biggest problem: plastic About nine million tons of visible plastic trash enter oceans each year—then there’s the waste we can’t see.
