    In our daily life, we unconsciously generate different types of waste. Many of them can be avoided by recycling, reducing, and reusing. To motivate schools in waste reduction and recycling, the "Plastic Challenge" is promoted through Ocean Park Conservation Alliance. The launch of “SGREEN” Inter-school Recycling Competition is aiming to encourage students to practise clean recycling actively in schools and invite their family members to visit “GREEN@COMMUNITY” recycling facilities for recycling, with a view to cultivating the habits of waste reduction and recycling at home and in the community.

    Member schools are encouraged to participate in SGREEN throughout the school year. To boost resources recovery, other recyclable waste, in addition to plastic, is also encouraged to be used at smart recycling devices or GREEN@COMMUNITY outlets.

    The competition will be divided into "School group" .  Schools with outstanding achievement would be awarded with trophy and other prizes.
    To participate in Flagship Activity – SGREEN, member schools will have to complete the following task:

    The food we consume every day comes from all around the world and thus produces loads of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted during transportation and from producing the packaging materials. Adopting a low carbon diet is an effective way to combat climate change. It can be conducted in a few simple principles: eat package free food, eat local or eat seasonal. To minimize the environmental impact on food item production, “Carbon Neutrality! Let's try!” is promoted through Ocean Park Conservation Alliance by consuming low carbon food in school.

    Member schools are encouraged to incorporate the concept of “Carbon Neutrality! Let's try!” into one of the school activities, such as picnic day or Christmas celebration.

The photos submitted would then be uploaded to “Mission R” Facebook page for public voting on 24th Feb, 2025 and the school with the most-liked photo would be awarded.

    To participate in Flagship Activity - Carbon Neutrality! Let's try!, member schools will have to conduct the following items:
