1. One Tonne Challenge Carnival
Founded by Tai Po Environmental Association (TPEA) and Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG), and co-organized by The “Star” Ferry Company Limited, One Tonne Challenge calls on each Hong Kong citizen to pledge for cutting one tonne of annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in order to combat climate change. Seven uniform groups with membership of 200,000 people and several professional groups have committed their support to the Challenge. Every year, the greenhouse gas emission of each Hong Kong citizen is equivalent to 6.5 tonnes of CO2 on average! Cutting emission by one tonne is possible by making little changes in daily life.
