Saving the planet ... one dumpling at a time

Canadian scientists have collaborated with Hong Kong climate campaigners to create meat-free dumplings in the hope of persuading the world's biggest carnivores to stop pigging out.

China eats more meat than any other nation - twice the amount consumed by people in the United States - and a campaigning Hong Kong business is launching a more sustainable, plant-based diet that it says has less impact on global warming, but all of the taste.

"Just to tell people what not to do is not going to solve the problem. You've got to give them alternatives," says David Yeung, founder of Green Monday.
