The Green Family Day was held earlier on April 26th for WGO’s corporate members and families under the Green Partners Programme. On that day over 30 corporate members and their families left the city’s hustle-bustle to try their hand at organic farming at Kam Tin, Yuen Long.
After an informative introduction on organic farming principles and tour around the site, they were excited to roll their sleeves to weed the harvested tomato pergola. A rich organic lunch from fresh farm produces was also enjoyed with full delight by participants next to the fields.

In order to raise the public's concern of the harsh living environments of grassroots families in Hong Kong, WGO produced a micro film called "Save It!".
Micro film: “Save it!”
Producer: Mr. Gordon Lam Ka Tung
Director: Mr. Lik Ho
The micro film was based on modification of real life stories, and in a light-hearted tone it depicted how the people living in sub-divided flats try to use creative means to save energy costs, which is a big burden to them.
