Circular fashion initiatives / Hung Shui Kiu transit system / Audible traffic signal revamp
On Wednesday's Backchat, we discussed fast-fashion and its impact on the environment.
NGO 'Redress' has recently launched a campaign to encourage sustainable fashion, while another Hong Kong-based platform, Open Lab, has introduced an AI-powered system to boost garment recycling. We spoke to representatives from both organisations. Is sustainable fashion a workable model that can reduce damage to the environment? Or is it just another trend for corporations to 'dress-up' the issue?
After the break, we asked a government spokesperson more about the proposed Hung Shui Kiu Smart and Green Mass Transit System, which the government is aiming to invite tender for next year.
Towards the end of the show, we discussed the government's move to replace all of Hong Kong’s electronic audible traffic signal units to provide greater convenience for people who are visually impaired.

Childcare leave for parents with toddlers / Norovirus outbreak in Shenzhen
主持人：Jim Gould and Ada Wong
On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about the government's plan to provide three days of childcare leave per year to civil servants with children under the age of three.
The measure, which is expected to be introduced in April next year, will benefit around 12,000 employees and comes as the government faces pressure to lead the way in providing family-friendly workplaces.
Responding to unionists' calls for more targeted policies, Secretary for Civil Service Ingrid Yeung did not rule out granting more days in the future but stressed that her bureau had to strike a balance between staff morale and operational needs.
So how does Hong Kong compare to other parts of the world? And which sectors are most family-friendly?
After 9:45, we speak to a doctor about an ongoing norovirus outbreak in Shenzhen.
