WSD has launched a new water conservation campaign named "Water Conservation Starts from Home" for primary schools in January 2009 to help students and their families develop water saving habits through a competition. Participating students are required to provide their latest two consecutive water bills for comparison. WSD will commend students who have achieved the biggest saving and appoint them as Water Conservation Ambassadors in their schools.
We are conducting roadshows at the participating schools to educate students that water is a scarce and important resource; inform them of the history and development of Hong Kong's water supply; and give them some simple water saving tips.
The Campaign is now in its pilot phase covering 20 schools and will be extended to all primary schools in the next academic year.
