Greenpeace and Hong Kong music production company, People Mountain People Sea (PMPS), first worked together last year to arrange girl group at17’s forest destruction awareness raising trip to the Paradise Forests of Southeast Asia. Last month we took Anthony Wong, the founder of PMPS, to Germany to learn that renewable energy solutions to climate change such as wind and solar power are not just dreams but are already being implemented on a large scale. Our aim with Anthony’s trip was to raise the Hong Kong public’s awareness of climate change and the solutions – clean renewable energy combined with large-scale energy efficiency programmes – which will give us a sustainable future.
