It's that time of year again for Xinhui tangerines! This year's tangerines are still being harvested in batches:

Second-Grade Tangerines: Sweet and refreshing, already available.

Large-Grade Tangerines: Even sweeter, will continue to be available until mid-December.

While you're buying Xinhui tangerines to dry into tangerine peel, remember not to waste the tangerine pulp! Every year, tonnes of tangerine pulp are discarded, which is a real shame. This year, we're appealing again: there are many new ways to cook tangerine pulp; let's all cherish food and reduce waste!

Last week, we hosted an internal "Food Surplus Upgrade" training event for a company!

Through a fun and engaging workshop, we helped participants rethink the value of "overfeeding"—despite food surplus, many people still face food insecurity. This event not only raised environmental awareness but also inspired everyone to put their creativity into practice in the workplace, turning small actions into significant changes.

Today is the 19th solar term of the 24 solar terms, "Beginning of Winter", and it is also the first solar term in winter. As the saying goes, "The beginning of winter replenishes the winter and replenishes the empty mouth." At this time, everything is collected and the cold is coming, so it is advisable to warm and nourish the kidneys, nourish yin and protect yang.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the ECF Saint Too Canaan College as well as the 63 parents and students who generously donated money to support the "Food Cherishing and Helping Others" initiative!  In addition to giving the community food and clothing, the campus's love infuses the surroundings with optimism.

We sincerely invite more schools to join this food wise campaign:Participate in food conservation lectures and recycling experiences to cultivate students’ environmental awareness;Initiate class or parent fundraising activities to gather resources and help others;Become a partner of "Food Commons@Community" and promote sustainable development together.

Urgently seeking volunteers for the East District! Let's work together to expand food recycling and sharing points in the East District.

The community can achieve more with your participation! We urgently need your enthusiasm to join us as we aim to develop new "food recycling and sharing" areas in Shau Kei Wan and Chai Wan!
