話說端午節，其實係悼念嘅日子，通常定係每年農曆五月初五，紀念屈原投江。
屈原係當時楚國詩人&政治家，因不滿當時朝政腐敗而自盡。所以端午節除咗令後世人有得放假，亦可以係關心情緒病的日子。💛
而點解要食糉？係因為當時楚國人民唔忍心屈原屍首被江中魚類吞噬，所以投糉入江，希望江內魚類係糉，以保存屈原的屍首完整。事件可以當時人民對屈原的尊敬。😌
不過我哋後世人就唔好隨意掉糉入海嘞😁。掉糉就事少，如果隨意掉棄即棄電池，誤將電池流入大海，電液含重金屬「鉛」、「鎘」、「汞」等，係會直接影響海洋生態&間接影響人類長遠健康㗎，同埋其實更加會影響到全球海洋系統架😱！
推動即棄電池回收計劃，係你同我&大家嘅事，一齊由香港開始，推動社會走向更文明，更愛惜生態&為全球人類福祉努力吧！

The Dragon Boat Festival, actually a day of remembrance, typically falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, commemorating Qu Yuan's suicide by drowning.
Qu Yuan was a poet and statesman of the Chu state at that time, who took his own life due to dissatisfaction with the corrupt government. So, in addition to giving future generations a holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival can also be a day to focus on mental health. 💛
Why do we eat zongzi? It's because the people of Chu couldn't bear to see fish in the river consuming Qu Yuan's body, so they threw zongzi into the river, hoping the fish would eat zongzi instead to keep Qu Yuan's body intact. This event reflects the respect the people had for Qu Yuan back then. 😌
However, we should not casually throw zongzi into the sea 😁. While throwing zongzi is a minor issue, if we carelessly dispose of single-use batteries and they end up in the ocean, the electrolytes containing heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., will directly impact marine ecology and indirectly affect long-term human health, and even more so, the global marine ecosystem! 😱
Promoting a program to recycle single-use batteries is something that involves you, me, and everyone. Let's start in Hong Kong and work together to lead society towards greater civility, ecological care, and strive for the well-being of all global humanity!
