Environmental Protection Club – A path to greener world ~ Poon Kristen Bernice

Landfills are overwhelmed; animals are endangered. The environment has given us countless warning signs and reminded us about the need to protect our Earth by achieving sustainability. The Environmental Protection Club (EPC), the main student club responsible for promoting a green school campus, stands firm on upholding environmental responsibility. The EPC’s mission is to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the environment and to foster a more environmentally friendly lifestyle among students.

The EPC actively promotes environmentalism in annual school events. During last year’s Sports Day, recycling stations were set up to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans, promoting the practice of recycling to students. At the Green Christmas Fair, the EPC puts the concept of “reuse” into practice by teaching students the various ways of creating Christmas ornaments with recyclable materials such as toilet paper rolls and pieces of draft paper.

The EPC also works to create more opportunities for the students to engage in environmental protection. For example, the EPC encourages students to participate in the Clean Air Conference, which is a student forum focusing on solving air pollution problems in Hong Kong. By collaborating with external organizations like the Clean Air Network, we hope to give students more chances to delve deeper into environmental wellness.
