With the extreme weather brought about by climate change, heatwaves, super typhoons, and heavy rain frequently occur in Hong Kong – it is undoubtedly true that climate change has had profound impacts on each and every one of us. 

  

Through the "Green Captain" Summer programme, we will educate and empower young children to build sustainable lifestyles from an early age and encourage them to take the initiative to alleviate the impact of climate change. By fostering sustainable habits and disaster preparedness, we will help safeguard our communities against the growing threats posed by our changing climate and empower our future generation to act for humanity in their daily lives. 

  

In the programme, the “Captains” will complete around 15 green habit tasks in the “Green Charter,” which cover four aspects, including “personal,” “family,” “indoor,” and “outdoor.”  This exercise is to help develop their green lifestyles through practicing green habits on a regular basis.  

 

"Greentival" Green Market

 

The Hong Kong Red Cross will hold the "Greentival Green Market" on September 14, 2024, along with the kick-off ceremony. The aim is to promote sustainable development and environmental awareness and to help the public understand the impact of climate change in the community. Through this, we hope to raise awareness of the Hong Kong Red Cross's disaster preparedness and response services, strengthen community resilience, and support various humanitarian services through fundraising sales activities.

At the "Greentival Green Market", people can participate in a series of green workshops and various experiential activities. In addition to these workshops and environmentally-related experiential activities, green social enterprises and organizations to join us in the event, showing and selling creative products that are environmentally friendly, organic, and upcycled. You can engage and explore the Green retails experiences along side with Green learnings with your friends and families. People of all ages who are concerned about the Earth's ecology, including this summer's participants in our environmental team, can learn about the "6R" green concepts – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace, Repair, and Rethink. This helps to consolidate green awareness and lifestyle habits, effectively practicing the attitude of "Greening My Life, Greening the World" and working together to mitigate climate change.

The "Greentival Green Market" will be held in collaboration with The Mills, a histrorial building focus on revitalization projects, providing a bright and comfortable environment for visitors to easily participate in the activities.

Green Transformation

 

“Green Transformation” aims to arouse participants' awareness of environmental protection by encouraging them to unleash their creativity to recycle and re-create a new piece of garment. Participants are required to transform at least one piece of old garment and upcycle it into a unique fashion piece (children's clothing); or use materials with eco-friendly elements combined with old clothing to create new children's clothing. The re-create should be centered around environmental friendliness, with no restrictions on themes. The judging panel will select about 10 winners to showcase their clothes on the day of the event.
