A coin comes up heads five times in a row. Two accidents happen on the same train line in one day. Or a shuffled playlist plays you the same artist three times running. Sometimes it seems like something other than coincidence is at work, but true randomness may not always feel that way to us…..
与很多在疫情下生活的人一样，Eric 曾经常常购买樽装饮品，以及使用塑胶外卖盒和餐具。但他们却不知道，原来大家都正在不断制造大量塑胶废物。根据香港环境保护署公布的「香港固体废物监察报告 — 2020年的统计数字」显示，香港每天产生的塑胶废物量大约为 2,312 公吨（在都市固体废物中排名第三，约占总重量的21%）…..
