Today is White Dew, the fifteenth of twenty-four solar periods and the third of autumn.  As the adage goes, "White dew and Autumnal Equinox nights bring a chilly night."  During this period, the temperature difference between day and night grows, and morning dew condenses.  It is preferable to keep the lungs wet, avoid dryness, and warm and nourish the stomach.

Environment and Conservation Fund Food Commons@Shatin is a community-based initiative that collects surplus food from markets and shops, redistributing it to the elderly and low-income families. By involving volunteers, recovering unsold bread, and collecting near-expiry packaged goods, the program helps reduce landfill waste while fostering a spirit of mutual support.
