Seeking re-election in November, Biden said, "Despite the overwhelming devastation in red and blue states, there are still those who deny the climate is in crisis."

Hong Kong restaurants have been slow to switch to eco-friendly alternatives following the single-use plastics ban enacted on Monday, with many still using disposables. Single-use plastics including straws and utensils are forbidden under the ban. Restaurants have a six-month grace period to comply with the new rules, under which the government will not take enforcement actions. As the transition began on Monday, coinciding with Earth Day, chain eateries have been quicker to make the transition than smaller restaurants.

It’s Earth Day today, and legendary English musician Brian Eno has given David Bowie’s 1995 deep cut 'Get Real' a twist by using environmental sounds. Eno has remixed the track to incorporate the cries of hyenas, rooks, and wild pigs. The Piggy Who Sold The World, anyone? “In the nature remix of ‘Get Real’, a track I co-wrote with David Bowie 30 years ago, the animals are invading the song – it’s like it has sprung leaks everywhere and these animals are coming in through every window and crack between the doors. They’re sort of threatening – suddenly Nature has crept into the art.” It has been...

Hong Kong’s Environment and Ecology Bureau is not participating in a trial of the city’s waste charging scheme, saying that the way rubbish was collected from its location in the Central Government Offices made it “not a suitable location.” First suggested by the government in 2005 before becoming law in 2021, the waste charging scheme was in January postponed from its April 1 launch date until August.

Earth Day 2022 is upon us, and as climate change continues to up global temperatures on a concerning scale, some notable people are using the time to draw attention to worthy causes fighting against impending climate disasters. Climate activist Greta Thunberg said it best in a Twitter post while on her nearly two-hundredth day on a school strike. “This is not a ‘happy earth day.’ It never has been. #EarthDay has turned into an opportunity for people in power to post their ‘love’ for the planet, while at the same time destroying it at maximum speed,” the Swedish activist wrote. So who cares if ...
