BA student Chu Pak-yin, who is majoring in technology, was crowned Champion in a canvas bag design competition, “Let’s Go Green”, which was organised by the Environmental Protection Department.
Pak-yin believes sustainable development ties together the concerns of the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by humanity.
The bag is printed with images of renewable energy and many products related to recycling, such as solar lamp posts, wind power generators, recycling bins, and recycling stations, thus showing the concept of sustainable living and a green lifestyle.
Through beautiful designs, the ‘Let‘s Go Green’ woven bag design competition aims to encourage the public to use reusable eco-friendly shopping bags and reduce the use of disposable plastic bags. The hope is that youths will integrate creative design into their daily life and act as ambassadors of environmental protection to all levels of society.
