Self and Personal Development ←→Energy Technology & the Environment

    Under the influence of pop culture and individual needs generated by modern city life, Hong Kong youths lifestyle today is often associated with a huge consumption of energy, and therefore putting more and more pressure on the environment. Meanwhile, during the growth and development of Hong Kong youths, there are increasing opportunities for them to come across all sorts of ideals about environmental protection and sustainable development, rendering them more willing to reduce their conflicts with the natural environment and to live in harmony with the natural ecosystem. On the other hand, since people today live indoors for prolonged periods, they need to travel long distances to connect work, studies and family life . As a result, the bodily and emotional routines of contemporary men and women will push the development of energy technology to a direction that meets these needs, and will pose new challenges to the goal of attaining sustainable development.
