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.
