To achieve our objectives we have started
the following:

with the public and private sectors
to promote public environmental
awareness and management;
- established
the Hong Kong Green Label Scheme
(HKGLS) as a standard for consumers
to identify products and services
that are more environmental-friendly
- encourage schools
to incorporate more environmental
issues in their syllabus and
to participate in extra curriculum
activities promoting environmental
protection.
- undertake, organize
and support research programs
and promote the results of these
innovative, and progressive ideas
throughout the community
- developed the
Cyber Green Centre, an Environmental
Design Information Database,
containing information on a wide
variety of products, materials
etc. which are more environmental
preferable than other similar
products in the market
- organize talks,
seminars, forums and symposiums
in collaboration with education
institutions and experts in relevant
fields sharing their valuable
experience and knowledge, such

educational activities.
We are in active preparation for
the following :
-
Green Purchasing Network : To
encourage green procurement
and consumption, we are initiating
a ˇ§Green Purchasing Networkˇ¨,
aiming
to create a close connection
between organizations which
practice green
procurement and environmentally
preferable products suppliers.
We hope to increase the popularity
of environmentally preferable
products and thereby reducing
the stress
to local air quality and landfills,
as well as impacts on other
environmental aspects.
