Kwai Chung Low Carbon Community Action 2.0 X Yip Shing Street Modular Social Housing Project “LMC Hub ● Yip Shing” - Green Ambassador Recycling Day (2)
CarbonCare InnoLab assisted the “Low Carbon Community Partners” to held a modular social housing recycling day activity at the Yip Shing Street Modular Social Housing Project “LMC Hub ● Yip Shing” on 17th August 2023. “LMC Hub ● Yip Shing” modular social housing is operated by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Lady MacLehose Centre. The number of participants in this event was more significant than the previous one. The residents of the social housing estate were enthusiastic about absorbing the knowledge of recycling, and they knew how to identify plastic No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. At the same time, the Green Ambassadors helped to check whether the recyclables had been recycled into the corresponding recycling bins, and guided the residents to sort out the recyclables correctly.
As some residents mentioned the recyclables may need a few plastic bags for the storage and recycling, we brought along several wall-mounted recycling bags to separate aluminum cans, waste paper and plastic bottles to make the recycling process smoother and more convenient. During the process, they helped each other, chatting and exchanging ideas on recycling and carbon reduction while recycling, which not only helped to protect the environment but also maintained the neighbourhood relationship, killing two birds with one stone.
At the end of the activity, six bags of recyclables were collected, and we took them to "Green in the District". We hope that this activity will enable the residents to practise the knowledge of recycling, and we also hope to promote more recyclables, such as batteries, to build a low-carbon community together.
