Green new year
tips for a sustainable future
|
|
|
|
(1) Second-hand
goods exchange: Have you found any unwanted items that are in
good conditions during New Year clean-up? Why don’t you share
your stuff with others at our roving Second-hand Goods Barter Market and exchange for other useful items?
(2) Celebrating Chinese New Year with zero food waste: Order the
right amount of food at New Year gatherings and bring any surplus
food home for later use. If you have any surplus festive food,
please donate to members of the Food Donation Alliance.
Love our Earth and let’s work together for a prosperous and
sustainable Year of the Sheep!

Power Smart
Energy Saving Contest 2014 rides against the current
|
|
|
|
The 9th Annual Power Smart
Energy Saving Contest has contributed again to the climate change
mitigation. Hong Kong’s total electricity consumption rose by
6.3% during July-September 2014, compared with the same period in
2013, which was the hottest summer in the past 130 years. In
contrast, the Power Smart participants had lowered their
electricity consumption by an average of 4.8%. We would like to
thank those 2,500 participants and the efforts of 1,300 secondary
school students. The Contest saved more than 24 million units of
electricity (24,669,911 kWh) during the contest period, thereby
prevented 17,270 tonnes of carbon dioxide from emitting to the
environment.
