| Summary 內容: | The first Earth Day was founded on 22 April 1970, when 20 million Americans took to the streets to demonstrate against oil spills, pollution, loss of wilderness and extinction of wildlife. The protests were in support of a healthy and sustainable environment inspired by US Senator Gaylord Nelson. After almost half a century, the Earth is still at stake. In 2017, sea ice at the Earth’s poles is reaching record lows, while low-lying coastal countries are threatened by rising sea level, like Maldives and some villages of Bangladesh. We are seeing and perhaps even experiencing record-breaking extreme temperatures, but our world is still full of climate change deniers. Despite these challenges, we will celebrate Earth Day with a sense of climate optimism, starting with enriching our environmental and climate literacy, and then changing our behaviors. You will be surprised at how small changes can lead to big impacts. Join our Pre-Earth Day series on April 21 with music, workshops, bazaar and be inspired to protect and conserve our Mother Earth for the future generation! This event is co-organised with Sustainability Office and Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre. 1970年4月22日，美國各地有二千萬人走上街頭，呼籲關注日趨嚴重的污染問題及瀕臨絶種的野生動物；這個被喻為最早的地球日活動，遊行人士受到美國參議員蓋洛德‧尼爾森（Gaylord Nelson）所啟發，提倡保護環境及生態的訴求。然而，經歷近半世紀，極端天氣所引發的災難越趨頻繁、南北兩極冰層融化加劇，不少人更斷言否定氣候變化的存在。 儘管挑戰如何嚴峻，你與我也可從日常生活習慣入手，一步一步的改變。4月21日，邀請你參與一系列慶祝地球日的活動，與你一起為地球可持續發展盡一點力。 此活動由通識教育部、可持續發展事務處、龍虎山環境教育中心聯合主辦。 Earth Village |12:00-17:00 | Haking Wong Podium Shop around Haking Wong Podium for products and ideas to help you live a green and sustainable life!

Grate Art is a project organized by Ocean Recovery Alliance to bring art to the streets of Hong Kong to remind our community about ocean and water protection. These colorful plaques bring a subtle, artistic message to our streets, to remind all of us in our daily, busy lives, not to dump into drains, as they lead to the sea. The plaques are designed by 6 local artists and 2 from China. Student volunteers from Greenwoods and ENVS are installing plaques in 16 locations across campus during the week of April 17-21 as part of the campus Earth Day celebrations. |
