Environmental problems are getting more and more serious and it is the responsibility of everyone to protect our earth. To be a responsible citizen, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals is moving towards being a Green Working Group. Tung Wah is committed to:

• Pursuing a total environmental concept in operating its medical, education and community services.
• Becoming a pioneer among Non-Governmental Organizations in environmental consciousness and conservation.
• Incorporating environmental protection into its corporate culture; communicating the Group's environmental policy to staff, students, services recipients and business partners; and promoting environmentally friendly behavior in Hong Kong, which in turn will lead to a high-quality and sustainable living environment for this community and the future generations.

A Tung Wah Green Launching Ceremony was held on 2011.11.04 at TWGHs Wong Yee Jar Jat Memorial Primary School. Our teachers and students were invited to attend the ceremony. The kick-off ceremony started the "Earth Citizen Programme", which included a variety of environmental protection educational activities such as the "Earth Citizen Survey", "Earth Citizen Passport", "Earth Citizen Facebook", "Environmental Protection Week", "Environmental Protection Hiking" and "Tree Planting Day". Through the sharing of representatives from different primary and secondary schools, our students learned that environmental protection was not just an educational concept at school but also practices that could be carried out in our everyday life.
