"The Community Chest Green Day 2012"
 The 2-day campaign, "The Community Chest Green Day 2012", was successfully held recently. Precedentedly, the Community Chest brought out the "Community Chest Green Day" commemorative twin tickets to buoy up the use of greener public transport, providing the public with the opportunity in practicing low-carbon living. A "Green Tips Competition" was also held to elicit a surge of green ideas for sharing. (Shortlisted practicable green tips are now available as public resources on the website).
To achieve the dual-purpose of environmental protection and community service, the Community Chest encourages participants to donate books, electronic appliances and furniture to the resources recycling programmes launched by the 3 social welfare NGOs (HKSKH Lady MacLehose Centre, the Salvation Army Tuen Mun Intergrated Service for Young People and St. James' Settlement), which help to reallocate the resources to the needy and minimize waste generation.
