Rising temperatures sparked by global warming have led to an even hotter urban climate, created by the so-called heat island effect. Hong Kong-based social enterprise Nature Makers Lab is seeking to help ease the effects of warm air trapped in urban spaces by planting mini forests around the city that also promote biodiversity. Based on a system invented by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, Hong Kong’s first dense mini-forest project was carried out with the help of a group of primary school pupils.

@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 Hong kong launch new plans for the environment. Your country launch new UA-cam accounts 🤣
Every one on their birthdays instead of buying costly cakes ,buy plant from nearby fruit nurseries and plant it in your garden or at your relatives place.
Would you like some Hong Kong batsoup?

Today, 75% of Hongkong is GREEN! You want to turn Hongkong into a jungle again? What kind of impact on the future of these children will it be?
@@hansweissmann6387 iits not just about turning it green.. About preserving nature.. These small things as a child impacts kids.. I meant that.

@Hans Weissmann iits not just about turning it green.. About preserving nature.. These small things as a child impacts kids.. I meant that.
It's already 75% green, how much green do you need?
The housing price in Hongkong is that ridiculous due to this 75% coverage.....
@@hansweissmann6387 even if you expand hk.. The prices will be more. Its because of the policy and the economy.. Not because of conservation of forests. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I dont think reducing CO2 in a city will cool the city.
By having more trees, it will increase humidity.
Great effort on planting trees though
I’m thinking the same thing. One thing I’ve learned from living in the woods is trees, trees being dense together, create tons of humidity that you just simply won’t find in the desert (or anywhere urbanized heavily) due to the structures changing natural landforms and weather cycles.
Absolutely great project as stated though, nice job guys!
It’s not about absorbing CO2 (which is a nice side effect). The trees are absorbing heat and covering the ground from the sun rays, which also helps to cool the city. If you have a lot of concrete around, it will absorb and store heat for a long time..
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 om nom nom nom nom!!
As a NYer who had to spend 6 hours babysitting outdoors on a hot summer day with a toddler, being in the shade of trees at a city park was a nice reprieve from the sweltering heat
@@SL-lz9jr oh jeez, you deserve an ice cold beer... or 12 =) my condolences **tips non-existent hat**
people always forget this helps bring back and sustain wildlife!
Great job plus I love her smile
You'll love Hong kong batsoup too
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 haha why are you being such a jerkface? haha let me guess, your Hong Kong girlfriend left you for a faaaar better looking, taller man. =)
Small things like this can create a bigger impact to help global warming. Godbless you more.
This is what I wish to do too
I am Hong Konger I wish to eat batsoup
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 go awaaaaay haha
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 You are a troll. Please be reported.
@@K-Rex589 yes I looking for networking to know how to start one
i think the most important for this iniatives is to plant the green ideas to children.
Also Batsoup idea
Terrific idea, so proud of your efforts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀😀
Great work!
Her English (being a Honkonger): 🏞🌄🌅
Londoners: 🌋🚞🛎
Not sure her nationality, but her last name doesnt sound Chinese to me, and she doesnt look Chinese to me. HK has a lot of foreigners as teachers, doctors and lawyers etc. And HK absolutely need teachers like her, bring positive ideologys to the city and the kids.
@@chinchin6509 She's probably a mix. If u ask me, I think she look Eurasian.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 she looks like the Asian bit of her is some sort of south east Asian, like Thai or Cambodian. What do you think?
@@ANTSEMUT1 She look like she's of mixed Hong Kong and European heritage. She resemble Hong Kong actress Iris Lam to some extent.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 not really, Iris Lam you can still see the Chinese in her.
Nice plan to growth more plants out. Hope it will not be destroy by the HK Government when the need of lands become valuable for infrastructure expansions.
Amazing!! 👏👏
I like the idea. But is too naive to think such small plot of land wanted to cool HK? HK government need to step in to support this
The important thing is the first step of doing it, instead of doing nothing yea?
HK government supports batsoup making.
It's the idea matters, not the result, she cant do nothing to HK by herself, but all of her students can definitely make an impact to HK in the future.
@@chinchin6509 I agreed to the latter. But ideas without execution and execution without results are just B$.. what I am talking about is those in power should really look into this. As they able to magnify the implications. Instead of focusing purely on economic development and urbanisation, new generation should built anything taking into consideration of the wider stakeholders and the nature ecosystem. The previous generation had push their social and environmental responsibility to this generation, and we shouldn't push it to the next one. I am just highlighting that the current focus on capitalism is too extreme, a long term focus on the environment and people are needed urgently.
Is time for trees🌱🌳. Planting trees🌱to save many life on earth🌱🌍 🌎🌍🌱🌿🍃🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌸🌼🌺🌱🌿🍃🌳🕊
So impressed with Hong Kong’s insight and proactivity! 🙏🏼
Beautiful lady with the love of green nature
she can plant my seed anyday of the week ☺💕
Amazing and inspirational! Great way to cultivate change with the next generation!
Around the world should be doing this now...
50 years ago my primary school didn't has such event
Cool
Our Hong kong batsoup is also cool
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746 go home, nobody likes yooou =( youre unwanted haha =)
Great efforts👍
What does she mean by HongKong is a high density city? Only some parts of it. There are many places in HK that has large space for the planting of this type of trees, the hills, the cycle routes and planted there should provide a lot of cooling effects for the city.
Hong Kong high density of human population (one of the highest in the world)
It's also dense in batsoup markets.
@@hongkongbatsoupeater7746
you don't like batsoup?you should try once
Meanwhile in my country : logging go brrrr
While planting trees in Hong Kong... she is also planting the seeds for the future in the little children. Giggidy ;)
This is very interesting 👍
Nice so cool
Well done
At approximately 6,500 people per square kilometre, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Yet, paradoxically, Hong Kong is also one of the greenest global cities. In fact, of just over 1100 square kilometres, 75 percent of Hong Kong’s territory is green.
Oh SCMP, you N I T W I T to the power of infinity......
Great initiative. Maybe teach the kids, first of all, how to try not to use so often the air conditionning........as much as possible Millions of air conditionners throw very hot air..........

Ya lower your consumption level in all if u want to save the earth from warming up.

So nic

Spreading wood chips around a tree is pretty nasty, it's just like chopping your own kind and spreading them around you.
💚🎄💚⚕️
The world is cooling not warming, planting trees is a great initiative but stop lying to the young.
yummy!
外國 SMALL力 🤣🤣🤣
if you really care about the earth, go to plant a tree in the desert but not only play for fun.
We have no time to do like that.Because we try together to get really democracy.💪💪💪
After few month. This project wi gone.

@@kingstonleo2429 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Jayden mason.

Horrible.
Nothing changed with me still
My news is the same still
I will text you of anything new till you safe my life meaning to talk also. Did use alot of my met data got left a bit to use it for emergency to be keeping in touch till it get back more on the 1st next months but I wish you don't wait all this long and safe my life.
🔥💪🔥
why not Chinese trees ou "hong kongers" trees
I think she should be careful, especially with the strong anti-Japanese sentiment in China. She might be boycotted lol.
Oh please not japanese style. You can choose any style but not this ego nation's style
Oh I see, an anti-Japanese.
so basically just plant 'trees' in a Japanese style, but smaller size compared to the real trees... I planted bigger trees when I was in primary school without any fancy and exotic styles. I guess I missed a lot of fame and fortune..... so sad
This international school was built on a jungle if it was never built to begin with the forest would already in place

Have some decency lady, there are children about!! Where is your modesty?! Dont make me sick the taliban on you... =/
