Background

Green Sense, established in 2004 and registered as a tax exempted charitable institution in 2010. We aim to point out the non-environmentally friendly practice in society through research and monitoring. We enhance the environmental consciousness by education and publicity, in order to ultimately achieve an environmentally friendly society, for the sake of our next generation.

In the past eight years, Green Sense opined upon a hundred issues in urban planning, energy saving & carbon reduction, waste recycling, protection of marine ecosystem, reducing the use of disposable utensils, ceasation of air conditioning abuse etc. We also monitor governmental and corporate operations and provide suggestions to improve their environmental performance. Furthermore, we promote environmental education among schools so as to nurture the youth for contributing towards a greener society in the future.

We have successfully urged the Government to reduce the density under some development projects, and paper consumption and address labels in joint election mails. We also have support from various stakeholders of the community through our campaigns such as “No Air Con Night 2010 to 2012”, "Love of the Nature, Respect for Lives" Educational Programme, Ecotours, “Plastic Bags – Regenerating by Reuse and Recycle” series, the “Green Festival” series such as “Green Xmas Schools” , “Use Less Wrapping Paper” etc.

"2013 Green Sense Walkathon" is our annual fund-raising event, we target to collect donation for local environmental conservation and educational projects, and to let the public learn more about Green Sense.
