Each school has a cap on carbon emissions generated by electricity consumption. Educational activities are then introduced that promote energy saving. Emissions savings are converted into Community Carbon Credits.
The offsetting money with matched funds from the school enters a School Environment Fund. Students have a say in how the funds are spent to produce environmental benefits in the school.
Having been to different companies and schools, the Carbon Trading Game once again surprised everyone by finding an ever-new challenge, to hold it on stage. On 6th Aug, Tenghoi was invited by the JP Morgan to participate in its RecycleBank Fun Day and to hold the carbon trading game on stage for the JP Morgan interns as well as students from other participating schools.

Putting together concerts like these in around six weeks is an enormous task. We have many to thank.
Tackling the issue of Climate Change requires community support and involvement, and that's exactly what this website is for. Our aim is to develop community initiatives that make measurable reductions in emissions and which generate carbon offsets. Our Cap and Trade scheme for schools is being piloted in Hong Kong and the results will be publicized on this website. FOR A SUMMARY, SEE HERE.
The Carbon Trading Game found its way to Alibaba Group, one of the world’s leading international e-commerce companies, in an afternoon session on December 17th as part of their staff training program. Being a China-based company, we were very lucky to have a good mix of participants from both Hong Kong and mainland China. As a result, the game has also made its first debut in Putonghua.
