Hong Kong Green Day 2018 - Beat Plastic Pollution
|
 |
|
In retrospect to the launch of the Hong Kong Green Day (HKGD) initiated by Green Council since 2013, the campaign is in well tune with our University. With our perseverance and unswerving effort to protect the territory as well as the campuses shrewdly, we fully support the HKGD held on 5 June 2018 seamlessly to acknowledge World Environment Day, an annual event established by the United Nations since 1972. HKGD is a month-long campaign which inspires us to "Go Green, Act Green!”, which covers a series of propaganda and educational events.
In recognition for our contribution of promoting activities in environmental conservation, we are honorably to be awarded "Certificate of Appreciation" by Green Council on HKGD as well.
