"Green Renovation"
「綠色裝潢」

Since I'm vegan, I try to avoid as much animal product as possible, even in renovation. It was not easy to find all items for renovation in vegan as well as environmental friendly. Until now in Hong Kong, there are only few information on real "green renovation" so I spent lots of time finding the right item. My flat just completed renovation for a month. I am going to share with you the product I used that is free of animal product during the renovation. 

我是全素食者,日常生活中極力避免任何動物製品,當然包括裝潢,要尋找既全素又環保的裝潢建材及材料並不容易,而且至今香港沒有提供全素及環保的建材資料,我花了很長時間才找到適合或貼近的產品,現在為大家介紹一下這次裝潢所使用的全素環保產品。

Paint - Natural & VOC Free
油漆 - 天然﹑零甲醛

Most of the common paint you can find in Hong Kong is emulsion paint contains acrylic. Emulsion paint has the feature of fast drying and mould prevention, also contains plastic (sometimes with chemical odor and VOC). Compare to emulsion paint, natural paint more advantages on safety and environmental friendly. There are only few natural paint brands available in Hong Kong with certified VOC Free. I finally chose AURO. Their product is made in natural raw ingredients and with photocatalytical effect. I used Air fresh Wall paint No. 328 white color for the walls and ceilings of living room, dining room, bedroom and drawing room. This natural paint makes the wall with a texture of sandpaper and you can feel the natural of the paint. Even there is dirt on the wall, simply softly rub by dry towel. My flat located at a very humid area. It's already 2 months after painting and still in good condition even the humidity now in Hong Kong is very high everyday. (Usually you are required to paint a "plaster" before the wall paint. Unfortunately AURO plaster contact milk casein which is not vegan.)

在香港普通使用乳膠漆作牆身塗料,乳膠漆一般都是快乾且防霉,部份乳膠漆都會散發化學氣味及含有甲醛,在安全及環保方面天然油漆會較好,在香港有售零甲醛的天然油漆及的專門店不多,結果我選用無化學氣味﹑零甲醛﹑防霉﹑來自德國的牆面漆 AURO,AURO的油漆能夠以100%純天然植物及礦物製作,油漆更具有潔淨空氣效能的光觸煤技術,我的客廳﹑飯廳﹑睡房及書房的天花及牆身都使用AURO 328 Airfresh - 白色 (光觸煤牆壁天花板專用油漆),乾透後表面會有像砂紙般的粗糙感,若果弄髒了可使用乾布輕抹 (有時只要用手就可以抹走)﹐我家位於非常潮濕的地方,塗上油漆已有2個月,在這潮濕的天氣之下牆壁及天花並沒有受潮,仍然保時良好狀態。(一般形況下塗油漆前都要先塗內牆底漆 (俗稱「牛奶水」),AURO的內牆底漆含有酪蛋白,即不是全素。)

Besides, paint, I also ask AURO UK office whether other product also Vegan. Here are the answers:

此外,我亦去信詢問AURO英國還有哪些產品是全素,解答如下:

Wall/ceiling paints: (牆面/ 天花油漆)
All are vegan suitable except AURO 326 Chalk Paint (contains milk casein) (都是全素除了 AURO326 Chalk Paint - 含有酪蛋白)

Gloss/Matt-silk paints: (亮/ 不反光油漆)
All vegan suitable (都是全素)

Floor oils / waxes: (地板保護油 / 保護蠟)
Many vegan suitable, several not as they contain beeswax (大部分都是全素,其他含有蜜蠟)

Cleaning & care products: (家居清潔護理劑)
Many vegan suitable, few that aren't (again often beeswax in polish/ floorcare wax) (大部分都是全素,除了少部分含有蜜蠟如地板保護油 / 保護蠟)

Flooring & Skirting - Bamboo
地板及踢腳線 - 竹 
For flooring, I choose bamboo as it has shorter life cycle and much environmental compare to wooden flooring. I used Verdee Strand Woven Compressed that is most durable and high stability among its product. The color I'm using named Cotton White, which was applied to bedroom, living and dining room. It required less care and easy to clean.

我選用竹子材質作地板,竹子的生命週期比樹木短很多,Verdee 的重壓竹地板色彩系列 - 棉白色,重壓竹地板是該公司之竹地板中最堅硬及耐磨,非常容易打理。

Furniture Surface - Bamboo Veneer
家具 - 竹飾面
 

Bamboo veneer (also provided by Verdee) is stick onto the plywood board surface. I used Charcoal colour and it was applied to the TV cupboard, bookshelves, platform stair, shoe cabinet and dining room cabinet. 

部分家具貼上了 Verdee 的碳化色竹板飾面,包括電視櫃﹑書架﹑地台階梯﹑鞋櫃及飾櫃。

Platform of drawing room also applied by Cotton White flooring, installed with Bamboo veneer cabinet underneath In the middle of the platform an electric table was installed.  

書房的地台表面也是以棉白色重壓地板舖在上面,四邊木板及階梯都是碳化色竹飾面,中間安裝電動升降台,升高後作桌子
使用,坐著時腳可方在枱的下方。

Can I be your pet? 

寵物與食物怎樣分辨?
就只是在於人類自己想吃的就叫食物, 想玩的就叫寵物
不知道養迷你寵物豬的是否都不吃豬肉的
養龜的是否不吃龜苓膏

或是寵物其實也可供食用?
 
We Are One

大家也是一樣有生命的
應該被尊重
盡量避免不必要的殺害
