Hang Seng – CA Eco Rangers 2019
Event Details
The evil plans by the “Flame Thrower” and his monster gang to destroy Hong Kong’s country parks were defeated at Tai Tong last year by a collective effort from our powerful Eco-Rangers! Yet, the “Plastic Trasher” is determined to take over the world this year with its ever spreading plastic wastes scattering across our oceans and natural landscapes.
The “Plastic Trasher” takes many forms and it has been invading our daily lives in supermarkets, fast food chains, beverage shops as well as household flats across HK. Plastic attacks are swift yet damaging, its plastic “bullets” (bottles) are 100% deadly for nature and threatening the lives of all creatures. It could also evolve into microbeads, which are able to enter human bodies and inflict physiological damages.
The effects of the plastic attacks have grown far beyond our trash bins and the landfills and have been spreading into the oceans and country parks. We need to assemble Eco-Rangers once again to hunt down all the monsters, stop their damaging evil plans as well as protecting our natural landscapes for the sake of all living creatures!
