A group of 3 students from Lingnan University, Jay Jing He, Tina Yao Xiaoping, and Alla Lau Sui are now under training to help them run the Carbon Trading Game in schools in the Tuen Mun/Tin Shui Wai region.  The first game will be at the Ma Ko Pan school under the coordination of Mr Tang Chi Keung, the Liberal Studies teacher.

UK-based Oxford Study Courses (OSC) has agreed to help sponsor our Carbon Trading Programme in Hong Kong schools.  This development will help to ensure the success of the school's programme that we will be running with the help of the UWC graduates (see here for more information).  The Carbon Trading Game has already been run at an OSC course where it was very well received (see here).

There are few things more familiar to us than the buttons on our clothes.  Now we can use more environmentally-friendly ones made from natural materials (such as the nut of a palm tree) rather than hard plastic, which is a petroleum product.  A group of major Asian manufacturers has now agreed to start production of these new buttons to replace the plastic ones as well as buy offsets from us.  So, not only do these buttons help to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere from the growth of the trees, the carbon emissions from the manufacturing process are also offset too.
