Look For Green Advertising Truck

Mobile Recycling Service

The Green Advertising Truck is one of the signature characteristics of Jockey Club “Look For Green” Mobile Recycling Programme (Look For Green). Leverage on the advantages of high mobility, the Green Advertising Truck serves various East Kowloon communities, providing 3 core green services: “Categorized Recycling”, “Community Sharing of Reusables” and “Environmental Education”. In contrast with the mainstream recycle-focused projects, “Look For Green” focuses more on building awareness and providing a happy learning experience through games and sharing of daily life green knowledge. We also emphasize on community reuse of second-hand clothes and electrical appliances. With the all-in-one features, the Look For Green Advertising Truck is positioned as “The first green advertising truck in Hong Kong with 3R concept (reduce, reuse and recycle) in one”.

Interactive Environmental Education Games

Community participants are welcome to try out the interactive games in The Green Advertising Truck designed for environmental education. With fun and joyfulness, community participants will learn about the steps of recycling, categorization of recyclables, daily waste reduction tips and useful green knowledge.

“Categorizing Recyclables at Home” Magnet Game

In a household background setup, community participants are invited to clean up the house and decide if the different common household items are recyclable or not. The interesting setting makes the game popular among parents and children. By placing the corresponding magnets into the “recyclable area” and “non-recyclable area”, children will find out that many household wastes like food packaging, toilet paper tubes and plastic bags are all recyclable while having fun. Bringing the game experience to real life, children may even become the new “environmental activist” at home, leading the family to live a green lifestyle starting with daily recycling!

“Carbon Sniper” Throwing Game

In this throwing game, sticky balls are given to community participants for throwing at the targets that represent various choice of daily activities. According to their environmental impacts, positive or negative carbon emission scores are accumulated. With the goal to minimize carbon emission, community participants will learn that “carbon reduction” is not far from us, but rather something affected by the various choices in our daily lives. From the tiny choices of what food to eat, which electrical appliances to choose, to the choice of travel destination, they all create impact to carbon emission!

“Green Living Challenge” Mega Connect 4 Game

Incorporating the “More” and “Less” in green living into the “Connect 4” traditional boardgame, community participants will learn about examples of good green lifestyle habits in the race.

 

The small steps of every individual will accumulate and bring big impact to the environment. Whether it be positive or negative, it is us who could make a difference. Therefore, we should start today to make the planet a better place to live in.
