Kwai Chung Low Carbon Community Action Group 4 Phase 3 Visit - Collecting Environmental Data
CarbonCare InnoLab conducted "Energy Care Community Action - Kwai Chung '' programme launches a brand-new community education project, aiming at the community to practice climate adjustment and climate justice, and build a community with high climate resilience. Kwai Chung District is our first community goal. It is hoped that in the future, other areas of Hong Kong can be developed to promote low-carbon life and practice climate justice. The service targets are subdivided households and elderly people living alone. We hope that more people in need will be benefited when the project develops more mature.
CarbonCare InnoLab carried out the third phase visit to the fourth group of subdivided flat households on 23rd June. In the previous visits, we measured the environmental data of the sub-divided flats and public estates. For instance, the light intensity of the light tube and the temperature in the house etc. And in the second visit, we helped the public estates and sub-divided flats residents to change the LED light bulbs and light tubes. Apart from collecting environmental data, low-carbon community leaders had conversations with the subdivided flat households proactively to know about their daily lives and recent struggles in the living environment. In this visit, we measured the light intensity of the LED light tubes and the air quality data in the sub-divided flats. Through the data, we can have a better understanding of how the changing LED light tube activity helps to improve the living conditions of public estates and sub-divided flats residents.
Most respondents thought that the LED light tube could improve their living conditions, especially for the increase in light intensity. The improvement in light intensity brings convenience and raised their living quality. This activity helps the residents overcome the living environment's difficulties and increase their understanding of environmental issues.
