Junk Wood Animal Farm @ Times Square, Causeway Bay
Nestled in the frontyard of Times Square, "Junk Wood Animal Farm" showcased the wood sculptures of a Local artist Mr Wong Ting Yan. The uniqueness of the exhibition lay in the raw materials of the sculptures – waste wooden boards. Mr Wong Ting Yan, with his magical hands and daring sense of humour, transformed the waste wooden boards into quaint creatures.
These sculptures can be more than just art, as Mr Wong Tin Yan is also able to turn waste wood into furniture that are absorbing, functional and eco-friendly, with his magical hands. Recently, his furniture was displayed at the Green Living Zone of Hong Kong Houseware Fair held at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In addition wooden animal sculptures and furniture, waste wood can also be transformed into bio-fuel, and this process will be accomplished by one of our EcoPark tenants shortly. No matter what the final products are, they all have the same purpose – encouraging the public to make the best use of our valuable resources.

"Community Recycling Network exhibition and drama show" @ Times Square, Causeway Bay
|
|
|
Tying the eco-tides generated by "Junk Wood Animal Farm", EPD held the "Community Recycling Network exhibition and drama show" recently that serves to introduce the different components of Community Recycling Network and the flow of local recycling processes to the public. The exhibition also displayed products made of waste plastics, waste glass and waste electronic gadgets, allowing the public to understand that waste materials other than waste wood also have their market value. Waste reduction at source is not only effective in relieving the pressure of landfills, it also helps to recover our valuable resources.
|
Besides, the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre played a tailor-made drama for the exhibition. The lively drama depicted a story about an environmental warrior who saved our polluted earth, hoping that the public can rethink about the pollution problems and drive home the green message.

"Asiatic Black Bears & Polar Bears: Their Ideal Habitat" Art Exhibition@Hopewell Centre, Wan Chai
Inspired by the local artist, Ms Kiwi Liu, 100 students utilized recycled scrap papers, egg trays and shells collected from eateries to create a habitat for the Asiatic black bears and polar bears recently.
Each bear could only stand on a small island, a vivid presentation of their difficulties and an implication that what we saw is just "the tip of the iceberg". The public must confront the problems of global warming and habitat destruction and take action to help making the environment restorative.
