Mobile exhibitions to explain environmental protection
A mobile environmental resource centre is to be set up for the first time to enable the public an easy access to information on environmental protection.
The centre is operated by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) in support of the Serving the Community Week organised by the Government. It will be stationed at several locations throughout the territory from December 2 to 6.
Introducing the mobile centre, Community Relations Officer of EPD, Ms Mabel Mak, said that through viewing of exhibits there, members of the public could get a better understanding of the various facets of work by the department on protection of Hong Kong's environment.
"The touch screen environmental information system installed in the mobile centre will provide viewers with in-depth data in an interesting way," she said.
"People with no computer knowledge can easily obtain information in both Chinese and English from the system."
The mobile centre will be parked at the following locations and be opened to the public from 10 am to 6 pm:
Po Lam Estate, Tseung Kwan O Tuen Mun Town Hall
December 2 December 3 December 4 December 5
December 6
Yuen Long Children's Playground Sheung Shui Community Town Hall New World Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui
Ms Mak said in addition to the mobile resource centre, local control offices of EPD would also mount a series of exhibitions during the Serving the Community Week.
Display boards to show achievements on the environmental front over the last ten years and pollution problems at various districts will be exhibited at Tai Koo MTR Station (December 2 and 3), Tuen Mun Town Hall (December 3), Yuen Long Children's Playground (December 4), Sheung Shui Community Town Hall (December 5), Sha Tin KCR Station (December 6), Western Gallery of New World Centre (December 6) and the lobby of Tsuen Wan Government Offices (December 7).
