🌱 🌏 #CallToEarth day is a day to celebrate the planet and those who protect it, esp our students who are some of the most passionate green advocates out there.

At GSIS in Hong Kong, students planted microgreens, decorated bee hotels, and created an upcycled mosaic using refuse from park cleanups.

🏎️ Learning the fast art of the controlled slide.

We are drifting — power sliding around a slick race track. I’m riding shotgun with a drifting coach... all in the name of journalism. 

Our next installment of Tech for Good will zero in on sports safety and performance. It’s a good one! 🏎️ 🏈 ⚾️

✈️♻️🔋 Are we on track to fly net zero by 2050?

Thank you, IATA, for the invitation to the IATA World Sustainability Symposium in Hong Kong.

The goal for air transport is clear: Net zero by 2050. It won’t be easy. Getting there will require vision, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Jane Goodall, the primatologist, educator and guardian of our natural world.

I will never forget our conversation about Wounda’s return to the wild, and the kindness she shared with my daughter.

May she rest in peace. 🙏🏽 🌏 ❤️

Led by student Jimmy Wu, AeroRelief is creating a drone delivery system for life-saving medical supplies to arrive in minutes.

🇲🇾☀️🌊🏭🔋⚡ This week, I’ve been in Kuching & Batang Ai, Malaysia. It’s been a long haul of shoots that’s taken us to a massive floating solar farm and a hydropower dam.

By integrating solar and hydro, Sarawak Energy is aiming to have a reliable energy source for Malaysia and the region, rain or shine.

🤑 Eric Trump encouraged attendees of Bitcoin Asia to "buy right now" weeks after bitcoin hit a record high of $124,000.

Not to be left out, HK is positioning itself as a digital asset hub as Beijing's crypto stance shifts.

Critics warn governments against embracing a volatile virtual asset.

In this high-tech factory, robot dogs are checking the work of human technicians.

The Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center is Singapore’s first EV manufacturing plant. Automation leads the way here, and Boston Dynamics’ four-legged robot dog "Spot" is in charge of inspecting human engineers’ work.

Here in Hong Kong, we are outside the court where the national security trial of Jimmy Lai is to hear closing arguments. 

Black rain has postponed the hearing. ☔️

Dozens of people braved typhoon rain to be present. 

Security is tight.

The US and China agreed to pause tariff hikes on each other's goods for an additional 90 days, according to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday.

And yet, an ever lengthening list of sticking points stands in the way of a deal.

The latest.

🎨 Sharing one of Arabella’s recent works in watercolor.

The best part of watching her create is just that. Watching her create. Witnessing my daughter experience the joyful, time-nullifying *flow* of dipping her brush into pigment and watching the paint bloom across the paper.💗

🚢📦 The shipping industry transports 90% of all manufactured goods.

We go inside the sector at the frontlines of President Trump's trade war.
