環保觸覺第三屆香港無冷氣夜 7萬家庭登記參加 70000 household pledged to join the 3rd Hong Kong No Air Con Night held by Green Sense

多謝各位參與「香港無冷氣夜2012」!

直至9月27日正午為止,「香港無冷氣夜」登記參加人數超過7萬個家庭及大學宿生,參加者於晚上七時至今晨七時期間關掉冷氣機。

本活動已得到13間大學及大專院校、222間中小學幼稚園過萬名學生教職員,當中包括59間中學、75間小學及88間幼稚園,希望學生、家長與教職員一同參與全港性環保活動,從中體驗和實踐減碳綠色生活。

超過180間公司及機構支持參加,承諾向員工全力推動。部份物業管理公司將在當晚關掉屋苑或大廈大堂的冷氣機。

本會希望透過「香港無冷氣夜」,以少用冷氣作為切入點,喚起大家關注家居用電量年年上升,令市民能夠反思人常生活用電模式,減少濫用空調,明白節約能源的重要,從而身體力行減少溫室氣體排放,加強環保意識。

最後,環保觸覺期望新一屆政府,若再提供電費補貼,必須注入環保成份,用電量較少的用戶,應得到較多的補貼,以鼓勵節約能源。


We thank every one of you for joining "Hong Kong No Air Con Night 2012"!

At noon time 27th Sept, there were over 70,000 household and university students signed up to join, all participants were pledge to swtich off their air con from 27th Sept 7pm to this morning 7am.

13 Universities and higher education institutes, 222 schools over dozens thousands of students and teaching staff, including 59 secondary schools, 75 primary schools & 88 kindergartens and nursery schools were joining. They pledged to take action on this territory-wide green activities together, in order to experience and live up with the greener living.

Over 180 companies and organization were promoting the No Air Con Night internally and some of the property management companies turned off the air con in the lobbies and offices of certain buildings.

We hope the "No Air Con Night" acts as a breakthough, arouses the rising use of electricity in residential sector, and rethinks our daily energy use with less air con. The importance of reducing greenhouse gases emission in energy saving can be promoted throughtout the event.

Last but not least, the improvement of the electricity charge subsidy, if any, is desired, by more subsidies to the lower electricity users. This encouragement pushes forward the practice of energy saving in the public.

今晚是「香港無冷氣夜2012」! Tonight is the "No Air Con Night 2012"!

今晚是「香港無冷氣夜2012」,晚上氣溫預計是攝氏25-27度,請讓冷氣機休息一天。

每部一匹冷氣機每小時約消耗0.8至1度電,以一晚運作8小時計,約排放5.6公斤二氧化碳,這排放量需要一棵成年樹木約3個月才能完全吸收。換言之,每個參加家庭或宿生當晚最少可減少5.6公斤二氧化碳排放。

各位也可在其他生活細節上著手,減少電力及其他資源消耗,為地球出一分力!


Tonight is the "No Air Con Night 2012", the temperate is about 25-27 degree at night, please let the air con rest for one night.

An air-conditioner with 1hp consumes 0.8 to 1kWh of electricity per hour, and emits 5.6kg of carbon dioxide (for 8hr of use per night). A mature tree takes 3 months to fully absorb this amount of CO2. In other words, each household reduces at least 5.6kg CO2 tonight.

We can all help on reducing the consumption of energy and other natural resources, for the sake of the mother Earth!

明晚就是9月27日無冷氣夜! Tomorrow is 9.27 No Air Con Night

明晚就是9月27日無冷氣夜,如你近期晚上仍開冷氣睡覺,請考慮明晚讓冷氣機休息一天。

各位也可反思自己的用電模式,有否改善的空間,當然每天都可以是「無冷氣夜」!


Tomorrow is 27th Sept No Air Con Night, if you still turn on the air con at night while sleeping, we suggest you to let the air con stop running for one night.

Everyone of you can also rethink how to improve the use of energy in your daily life, "No Air Con Night" can be everyday practice!
