[HK01] Solving the problem of environmental protection being easier said than done: Rural tourism has great potential.
In recent years, Hong Kong has faced significant challenges in promoting municipal solid waste charging and accurate waste sorting and recycling. This is not merely a dispute over implementation details, but also reflects deeper governance pain points. Five years ago, the Consumer Council published a tracking study exploring sustainable consumption behavior among Hong Kong citizens, the results of which were quite thought-provoking. Respondents' "awareness and attitude index" reached 77 points, but the "behavior and willingness index" remained stagnant at 71 points. These figures accurately point to a harsh reality: citizens' environmental awareness has not been effectively translated into practical action. Faced with this predicament of "easier said than done," it is clear that the SAR government's continued reliance on slogan-based propaganda or single-policy initiatives will not address the root cause.
