Behind Light – Still Wasting Energy? Hong Kong’s dazzling city lights tell a story not only of prosperity but also of excessive energy use. This lecture takes participants on a journey through the city’s lighting culture, uncovering the hidden costs behind the pursuit of brightness. By sharing stories of Hong Kong’s illumination, we encourage reflection on the motives behind supporting such intense external lighting and the consequences it brings. Through accessible explanations and practical insights, the session highlights how overusing energy contributes to climate change and affects our health. More importantly, it moves from awareness to action and shows participants how everyday choices can help reduce carbon emissions and make a difference. This is not just about light; it is about rethinking our relationship with energy, questioning the habits of our city, and embracing sustainable living for a brighter, healthier future.
