In celebrating the Chinese New Year, the public create large amount of waste which is harmful to the environment. Before the Chinese New Year (10 February 2007), Green Power called on the public to give up four festive habits that threaten the environment on the “Greener Festivals Campaign” Press Conference. These habits include using self-adhesive red packets and new banknotes, exceedingly using gift wrapping, discarding too much household waste and eating endangered species. Each year, at least 70 million red packets are discarded, equivalent to logging down 3,600 trees. The amount of paper used for wrapping Chinese New Year presents equals to 1,600 trees. 230 million new banknotes are issued every year just for Lai Sees, enough to fill 12 Victoria Parks. The amount of rubbish collected during the Chinese New Year amounted to 300 tonnes more than that collected in other periods. The celebration of the Chinese New Year brings along enormous burden on the environment. Two families were invited to share how the public can celebrate a more environmentally friendly Chinese New Year. Modifying our behaviours a bit is indeed what is needed to avoid putting the environment in jeopardy. Please refer to Press Release for the details.
