Do you have an interest in making a cleaner, greener, more sustainable HKUST campus? Join the Green Team here!

What is Green Team?

Green Team is the collection of members of the HKUST community who have an interest in creating a more sustainable campus environment. The goal for the Green Team is to create a structure by which interested members of the community can participate productively in the transition of the campus into one that operates in a more efficient, environmentally-friendly, and healthy way.

Who can be a Green Team member?

Members can be students, faculty, staff, or other residents of the campus community (spouses, helpers, and children). Members conduct business on their own time and their work is separate from their official University duties.

What can Green Team members do?

Members can work on real, hands-on projects that improve our campus and community. Ideas for campus greening projects are initiated by Green Team members, and members will implement the work themselves or forward the ideas to the operations departments that could benefit from the suggestions.

What are some examples of Green Team projects?

Green Teams are popular with members who have specific ideas and interests associated with sustainability. Some past projects initiated by green teams include "Drop & Adopt" campaign, "Piano for all" and Sea-rious Art Jamming events etc. Check out our youtube channel to learn about past initiatives. 

What are the benefits of joining?

Even though Green Team Members are not paid or have this work count as part of their study credit or duties, the benefits of joining a Green Team are enormous. Members will meet like-minded individuals on campus and will have a chance to make a real impact to build a more sustainable campus environment. Members will have chance to learn more about campus sustainability challenges and work on specific projects each year.
