Whales, manta rays, whale sharks are all eaters of animal plankton or small fish, themselves huge consumers of vegetable plankton. These marine algae produce half of the oxygen on earth and capture 40% of the carbon dioxide.But the global role of the Mastodonts is hardly believable. By swallowing plankton and the small animals that feed on them, these giants capture and store carbon in their fat. When they die, they sink into the abyss where the carbon remains trapped for thousands of years. For example, one whale captures as much carbon each year as a thousand trees. These giants are real allies in regulating the climate and restoring reef productivity. The programme for identifying these new feeding areas is easily reproducible in all the areas concerned around the world.

"Imagine a Dead Blue Whale inside the Pocket of a Giant”, can you? It's actually the name of a group exhibition now showing at the Current Plans art space. Featuring works by Hong Kong and Italian artists, the exhibition explores play as a shared language across the two places. Games and play become the means to articulate what cannot be said, opening spaces for dialogue, wonder, and new forms of connection. In the studio: Sophie Dervaux's Bassoon & Baton This year’s French May programme “Bassoon and Baton” was a rare and special occasion for the bassoon to take centre stage, as prize-winning musician Sophie Dervaux made her Hong Kong debut. Dervaux has been the principal bassoonist of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra since 2015. [À Chloris by Reynaldo Hahn]

When talking about nourishing foods for the winter, lamb is often the first thing that comes to mind. Mutton is rich in protein and iron, making it highly beneficial for enriching the blood. However, as for the unique and strong “gamey smell” of mutton, some people love it while others find it off-putting. While we usually choose imported or Mainland mutton, black lambs are also bred in Hong Kong. In this episode, the “Food Fanatics” visit a farm where hundreds of black lambs are raised to explore their properties and habits. The chef host Mabel also creates a specially designed dish, “Crown Roast of Lamb with Lemon and Fermented Tofu, teaching us how to remove the gamey odor while preserving the tenderness of mutton. We also invited the news presenter Ruby LAM to share her tips for staying in shape; and the registered Chinese medicine practitioner CHO Shun-yan to explain the properties of lamb, including who should eat it and how to enjoy it in a nourishing way without causing "internal heat”. Hosts: Yuki LAW, Mabel (Resident Chef) Guests: Ruby LAM, CHO Shun-yan (Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner)
