There are less than a month from the plastic bag levy scheme that will be implemented on 07th July, 2009. However, citizen generally showed lack of knowledge about the scheme. For this, the Greeners Action tomorrow (14th June, 2009) will start “Eco-bag distribution in 18 districts” campaign, aiming at let citizen develop habit of using own shopping bag, getting ready for the scheme.

The Greeners Action will deploy manpower to parade in shopping malls or pedestrian zones in 18 districts every weekend, each time we will give 200 Eco-bags which are designed and signed by green ambassadors. People turning the wheel and answer correctly related questions on it could get one Eco-bag for free (See picture 1). In addition, there will be an exhibition showing details of plastic bag levy scheme, staff are there to answer enquiries for misunderstanding and confusion. On the other hand, we cooperated with 50 shopping malls under Link estate property management to hold “Prize for plastic bag levy scheme” game, up till now 3 million prize cards have been distributed. We hope through this campaign, the related message could be sent out to people to raise green awareness. Prize cards could be obtained in 50 designated shopping malls for free in 18 districts for game participation.
