2015. With the aim of promoting a “green” lifestyle and enhancing the awareness of sustainable development among university and primary school students, various teaching and learning materials and activities were organised. These included 12 inquiry-based teaching packages and a card game, an international symposium, a learning camp, a trainer programme, plastic waste collection, a public cleanup exercise and the design of an educational poster based on research data, to facilitate students’ recycling practices. Since the project launch, more than 10,000 university and primary school students have participated and successfully recycled more than a metric ton of plastic, equivalent to forestalling
the production of about 0.6 metric ton of carbon dioxide, a reduction rate of 55 per cent. The project attracted public attention, resulting in a HK$3 million corporate donation for the further implementation of environmental sustainability in the coming years.
