PLASTIC FREE DRAGONBOAT FESTIVALS
Green Dargons HK works with dragonboat festival organisers to find ways to reduce plastic wastes during the race events. Some HK Dragonboat festival organisers are already taking actions to better protect our seas and shores and eliminate single use plastic. Green Dragons HK support them in identifying solutions meeting their specific constrains and broaden their impact year after year.
