'Every Action Counts!' - Empowering the Community to Save Water and Energy
From November to December 2024, HKUST participated in a campaign led by the Jockey Club Sustainable Campus Consumer Programme (JCSCCP). It embarked on an journey to underscore the critical importance of sustainable living and the profound environmental impact of our everyday choices in water and energy consumption.
Throughout the Every Action Counts 4-Week Challenge, the community has explored nature-inspired art that helped connect them with nature, inspiring sustainable practices around the world, and discovered the sustainability projects on their campus. The challenge encouraged our community to reflect on how routine actions—such as taking showers or using electronic devices—can significantly affect our planet. Our mission was to ignite a movement of mindful consumption and foster a collective responsibility towards a sustainable future.
The campaign was enriched with captivating infographics that vividly illustrated Hong Kong's water and energy consumption patterns, alongside practical, actionable steps to help reduce our ecological footprint. A physical model further demonstrated water-saving practices, including efficient irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and the use of water-efficient appliances, contrasting them with water-wasting habits like excessive usage and industrial waste.
Through these dynamic initiatives, the campaign promoted conscious water usage on our campus, inspiring a wave of lasting change towards a greener tomorrow. We are proud of the collective efforts and the enduring impact they promise for a sustainable future.
