可能因為有時候一些工人姐姐，她們掃不了碼或者掃碼會很困難，所以我們其實是有一個一個的，幫她們去填完這些問題。

然後我們會發現，其實她們對於環保，循環這方面都做得很好。但是在垃圾分類的方面，可能她們更多可能會跟隨她們雇主的態度。

有一些是，她們跟老人家住在一起，老人家沒有這個意識，然後她們也不會說會去關注垃圾分類。然後還有一個點是，我覺得她們收到最後的小禮物都會非常開心，就是我自己也會很開心。

Some workers may struggle to scan QR codes or find it challenging to do so. Therefore, we have to assist them one by one in completing the survey.

We realized that they were actually doing very well in environmental protection and recycling. However, in terms of waste sorting, they may follow the attitude of their employers.

For example, in case they cater to the elderly who do not have this kind of environmental awareness, they may not pay much attention to waste sorting. Finally, they were delighted to receive the gift souvenirs from us.

通過訪問我了解了很多，原來印尼那邊他們處理垃圾的方法有很多不同，有些姐姐分享說他們會燒垃圾，然後再訪問多幾位姐姐，他們也會提起（燒垃圾），因為政府不會幫他們清理。但是訪問多幾次之後，很多姐姐提同一件事，原來是一些市中心的地方是不可以燒垃圾的，市中心以外才可以燒，可能就是政府去清理，但是人們很多也亂扔垃圾。

訪問不同的人，用同一樣的問題，然後就會更加了解那個題目。究竟這個群體是怎麽想這個問題的。我覺得這個過程可以更加了解什麽是文化，還有他們的社會是怎樣。

URSULA，人類學學生

During the interview, I gained insight into how waste is managed in Indonesia. Some sisters mentioned that they burn trash in their hometown. As we spoke with more sisters, it became apparent that they resorted to burning trash due to a lack of government assistance in waste management. This idea was echoed by several other sisters we interviewed. As more questions were asked, we discovered that burning trash was permitted in suburb areas but not in the downtown area. In downtown, the government may be responsible for waste management, yet most people are still littering.

Interviewing different people with the same set questions, it will give you a better understanding of the topic. How does this group think about the problem? I think it’s a good way to understand more about what the culture is and what their society is like.

我正在讀城市研究，我覺得這次是一次很好的機會，可以讓我和那些姐姐聊天，了解到她們日常生活的習慣。

比較有趣的點，是我發現原來其實很多菲律賓或者印尼姐姐的環保意識都很高。她們以前在她們鄉下那邊，其實很多地方會有一些政策去禁用膠袋，或者是會提醒她們用紙去代替膠袋。其實她們會將這個習慣帶到香港，她們的環保意識都很高。

KARY，城市研究學生

I am studying Urban Studies and I think this is a good opportunity for me to chat with the sisters and learn about their daily habits.

What is more interesting is that I found out that many Filipino or Indonesian sisters have a very high awareness of environmental protection. They are used to policies on plastic bags ban in their hometowns. They brought the habit of using paper and strong environmental awareness to Hong Kong.

我有兩點感受：一個是，當我們採訪這些，印度尼西亞的姐姐的時候，談到環保這個議題，她們出現了兩種態度：一個態度是很樂於去談，還有一種態度就是可能她們沒有相關的經驗，所以不敢去談。而那些樂於去談經驗的這些姐姐，讓我感覺到她們對香港這座城市有非常強烈的一種認同感。不論她們來自哪裡，或者說她們去哪裡工作過，她們都會把香港放在第一名或者第二名的環保城市。這讓我感到很驚訝，也讓我很好奇，香港政府到底在這方面曾經做過一些什麽？我覺得應該是做了很多調整，一開始沒有做對，但是後面做對了。我來自長沙，所以我覺得這值得我們長沙這種所謂的花園城市去學習。

然後第二個感受，我覺得城市裡的人和這座城市是相互成就的，我覺得香港不僅僅是在環保上應該做了什麽努力，它應該在各個方面，都做了很多的工作，才使得來到這裡的異鄉人，能夠有這樣子的認同感、這樣的歸屬感。而且印尼的這些姐姐，可能她們的家鄉都是污染很嚴重的，那為什麽到了這裡之後，她們會樂於參與到這些環保的項目當中？

有意識或者無意識，我覺得這不僅僅是政策的問題，我覺得這也是這座城市的魅力。

邱愷，文化研究學生

I share two observations from the interviews: First, some were enthusiastic to discuss it; others were hesitant. Those who were willing to share their experiences displayed a strong sense of identification with Hong Kong as a city. Regardless of their origins or work history, they often ranked Hong Kong as one of the top green cities. This revelation surprised me and prompted me to ponder the actions taken by the Hong Kong Government in this regard. While the government may have initially made mistakes, they eventually made the right decisions. I believe there is value in learning from the example of my hometown: the so-called garden city of Changsha in this aspect.

Second, I believe that both the residences and the government are responsible for making the city green. Environmental protection efforts in Hong Kong, as well as advancements in all aspects, have created an environment where foreigners can feel a strong sense of identity and belonging. Last, Indonesian sisters seemed happy to participate in environmental programs in Hong Kong.

I believe that this sense of connection is not solely a result of policies but also reflects the charm of this city.

Qiukai

關於他們在環境友善那些社群的時候。其實很多姐姐都說過之前在他們的家鄉的時候，是有參加過類似的活動的，比如說會去海邊撿垃圾，或者週末的時候和朋友在路邊一起撿垃圾。

但是因為來到香港之後，因為他們這份工作導致每個星期只有一天的時間是空閒的，基本上就沒有人再去參與這樣的社群或者是活動，體現了一種關於勞工和姐姐們環境保護意識之間的平衡。

JANE，政治及行政學學生

We discussed the environmentally friendly community initiatives in their hometowns. Many sisters mentioned that they had taken part in similar activities back home. In fact, several sisters shared that in their hometowns, they used to engage in activities like beach clean-ups or collecting trash with friends along the roadside on weekends.

Upon arriving in Hong Kong, due to their work commitments, they only have one day off per week. As a result, very few participate in such community activities here, highlighting an imbalance between labor and their environmental commitment.

之所以參加這個活動，是因為我之前寫過一篇文章是關於在香港工作的外籍家庭傭工，有讀過很多關於他們在香港的一些生活、工作待遇方面的一些文章，對這個群體會比較感興趣。

今天這個活動主要是講的是PLASTIC WASTE FREE，採訪中有些工人姐姐告訴我們，其實他們僱主對於環保的理念，其實可能還沒有她們強。

我覺得一個原因是這些HELPER的意識強⋯⋯可能她們是因為真正在做這件事情的人，所以會比較強一點。

其實不管是意識強和弱，在這個社會每一個群體都要有這種意識，因為社會不是一個單一群體所存在的。只有生活在這個社會的每一類群體都有共同的意識，然後共同做出一些努力，才能讓我們整個社會會變得更好一點。

EMILY，綜合工商管理學生

I joined this activity because I previously wrote an essay on foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong. After researching their lives and working conditions, I became more interested in this community.

Today’s focus is on reducing plastic waste. During the interviews, some domestic helpers mentioned that their employers may not prioritize environmental protection as much as they do.

I believe that these helpers have a strong awareness of environmental issues, which motivates them to take action. Regardless of the strength of this awareness, every walk of society should share a common environmental commitment. By working together, we can make our society a better place for all.
