Magazines
The first GOVEG magazine started its publication in 2014. The concept of plant based diet was still in its infancy in Asia and Hong Kong. Promotion of healthy and sustainable lifestyle is the motivation and therefore started promoting vegan lifestyle out of religious scope. in Hong Kong since 2008. With collaboration of volunteers worldwide, a global campaign "Meat Free Monday" was launched by on-line pledging. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, the first Meat Free Monday gathering was held in August 2009. It was vegan dinner gathering every Monday attracted thousands of members from all over the world and attention of the local media were caught.
Nowadays, most of the members has become vegan consumers and advocated with their passion, Hong Kong has become one of the vegan friendly city in Asia.

STOP POACHING
Raising awareness of the harm that poaching causes is one of The Elephant Society's key objectives. Recent surveys found that those on the consumer end of the illegal ivory trade, in particular final consumers in China and Hong Kong, were not very knowledgeable about how their ivory was sourced. Less than a third of those surveyed in China knew that elephants were slaughtered for their tusks and 70% believed that an elephant's tusks would grow back naturally. Elephant tusk and rhino horn is still commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine despite being found to have no more medicinal properties than chewing on your fingernail. The only other "use" of ivory is to create ornaments or artwork. No other part of the elephant is used or harvested by the poachers, who usually leave the carcass behind as waste. Not possessing any tusks until the age of 6-12 months, often the young calf's that were accompanying the adult elephant that was slaughtered are tragically also left behind.
