Co-founder of EcoDrive talks to us about combating environmental issues for future generations
An avid philanthropist, Tansy Lau-Tom wears many philanthropic hats. She is one of the governors of the Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation, which partners with social enterprises, charities and schools to work on elderly care and education, and was on the board of literacy charity Bring Me A Book Hong Kong until 2016. As an animal-lover, Tansy is also a keen supporter of animal charities, including Hong Kong Dog Rescue, Animal Asia and The Orangutan Project.
But the organisation that is closest to her heart is EcoDrive, a local NGO that she co-founded with 10 other inspirational women, focusing on sustainable living and fighting single-use plastics in Hong Kong. From educational film screenings to plastic-free campaigns, EcoDrive helps build awareness for environmental issues to inspire actions working towards a greener future.
