The RHKYC Charity Foundation and Sustainability Working Group are pleased to present a special screening of The Story of Plastic. An introduction and Q&A session will be given by the Ms Dana Winograd, Director – Operations of Plastic Free Seas, an education-focused Hong Kong-registered charity.
THE STORY OF PLASTIC takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing.
THE STORY OF PLASTIC features interviews with experts and activists on the front lines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world, and the global movement that is rising up in response. With engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 1930s, and first-person accounts of the unfolding emergency, the film distills a complex problem that is increasingly affecting the planet’s and its residents’ well-being.

With CNY looking a little different this year than everyone would have hoped, the Family Panel Sub-Committee were delighted to run an Arts and Crafts event on the morning of Saturday 6 February to bring some traditional cheer and celebrate the Year of the Ox in these trying times.
Fun was had by all as parents and children (socially distanced of course) took the opportunity to spend a couple of good hours together and participate in designing and decorating a range of arts crafts from traditional calligraphy to making their own festive lanterns. The Committee was delighted to run a successful event after so many disappointments due to Covid and we look forward to a great Year of the Ox in building community and family spirit at the Club. Thanks to all who came and all in the Committee who made the event happen. 恭喜發財
