 Green
Power Hike - 14 January 2012
Walk for a green cause and help realize a green future
Green Power Hike is an annual
charitable walkathon for Green Power. The course follows the 50km long
Hong Kong Trail. A 25km option is also available. In general the course is
relatively technically easy and many of the paths are concrete with lovely
views. Since 1994, when over a hundred participants joined, more than 40,000
people walked for a green cause, raising more than HK$50 million to help realize
a green future. Hong Kong's per
capita daily carbon emissions are 50% higher than the world average for
developed cities. Hong Kong citizens have responsibility for mitigating global
warming and we are committed to promoting low carbon living and working together
to slow the warming of our planet. Green Power aims to inspire people to better
appreciate the natural environment and to raise funds for environmental,
educational and conservation programs. Founded in 1988 by a group of volunteers
concerned about local environmental affairs, we believe education is the
ultimate means of transforming our thinking and behaviour. We focus on local
ecological conservation and global environmental issues – ranging from those
affecting species, to entire habitats and the world's environment.
