“Resources Conservation Ambassador Scheme” — Housing Estate Resources Collection Day & Used Clothes Collection Plant Visit
On 30th January 2010, we appointed seven Resources
Conservation Ambassadors (RCAs) to help with the Used Clothes
Collection Day at Fok On Garden, Ma On Shan. They were responsible
for recording data of used clothes collection, hosting booth games
and assisting our promotion work. After nearly a full day of work,
they truly experienced the hardship and joy of practicing
environmental protection activities in the community, and found out
that passion, knowledge and stamina are all indispensible for a
successful environmental protection practitioner.
We also arranged a used clothes collection plant visit on 6th
February 2010 for the RCAs to have a deeper understanding of the
used clothes collection industry. Environmental groups should always
keep a “make a difference” attitude in order to cope with the
endless challenges! For example, the stealing of used clothes kept
worsening last year. We then had to modify the design of collection
banks immediately to strengthen their security. It is like a battle
of wisdom and power against the burglars.
The RCAs were very interested in the plant’s operation. During the vist,
they found that the used clothes the public donated were in good
conditions, some even had the price tag attached. It reflects the
buying habits of the public have to be improved. |

Used Goods Exchange
Squares were held throughout January and February at all
participating estates. The event was scheduled prior to the
“Spring Cleaning” of the Chinese New Year with more than 5,500 being
collected and/or exchanged. A number of EMAC members have
shown great support and contribution by hosting different collection
locations a week before the event. As with previous years,
most of the items collected were toys followed by books,
stationeries and household products. The program was
well-received by the local residents and it also showed events of
similar nature could be arranged regularly within their public
housing estates.
