Jul 19:  HK Electric's Got Talent … on Decarbonisation

"To encourage the public to support Hong Kong's goal of achieving carbon neutrality, HK Electric has been organising numerous activities and competitions under its Happy Green Campaign along the theme of  'Decarbonisation our New Mission' since 2021. A group of green champions were selected and recognised at a prize presentation ceremony held last Saturday (9 July).

The winning project from the Civil Engineering Department of The University of Hong Kong involved the design of a bus stop with solar panels and green walls, which helped reduce the impacts of air pollution and heat island effect on the environment of roadside bus stops.

Project Titles: Innovative Green Wall Development in Urban Area
Hydrogen - A Big Step Towards Utopia
Smart Meter Application in Grid
Green Energy in Future Cities - The Utilization of Piezoelectric Power in Railways and Bridges
Cutting-edge Carbon Reduction Technology of Buildings in Hong Kong
Decarbonisation by 2050 with Green Energy
Production of ammonia by electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction for hydrogen power."  Full press release:

We've reached the 2,000 points top level the other day, so I've picked up this recycled recycling triple bag below which we're using now to collect and separate our household's recyclables.
