舍際節能比賽
Inter-hall Energy Saving Competition
|
香港大學舍際節能比賽在２０１２年２月１日正式開始了！
香港大學舍際節能比賽是由香港大學學生會常綠林及香港大學可持續發展事務
處聯合舉辦的活動。活動旨在宣揚節能的重要性以及鼓勵宿生將節能習慣融入
生活當中。
比賽有１３所港大舍堂、約４０００名宿生參加。人均能源使用量最低的舍堂
三所會勝出比賽。
其實節能並不困難。每個人都可以從改變生活習慣中節能。
例如只要開風扇代空調一整天，便可以節省$21及15.9kWh。
節能由習慣開始！習慣上的少許改變，不但可以節能省錢，更可以減少二氧化
碳排放、為未來創造更舒適的環境！
比賽會在３月３１日結束。相信宿生必定會在比賽期間積極利用各種方法為港
大節能！
另外，我們邀請你參與有關你能源使用的問卷調查：

HKU Inter-hall Energy Saving Competition
has launched on 1/2/2012!
It is an initiative developed and
jointly organized by Greenwoods, HKUSU
and the
HKU Sustainability Office. We aim to
promote the importance of energy saving
and
encourage hall residents to incorporate
energy-saving ideas into their daily
lives.
There are 13 HKU halls participating in
the competition, involving about 4000
hall
residents. 3 halls getting the least
energy consumption per capita will win
the
competition.
Reducing energy consumption is not a
difficult task. Every one of us can
reduce
energy consumption with a little change
in our habits.
If you use electric fan instead of
air-conditioner for a whole day, you
will save
15.9kWh and HKD$21.
So “Take Action。Save Energy” by changing
your habits now!
The competition will last from now until
the end of March 2012.
Also, we invite you to complete our
online survey about your energy
consumption:

For any enquiries about the competition,

Reply from

Regarding
to our email sent on May 23 suggesting
some possible ways to reduce paper
wastage in examinations, the Academic
Development and Quality Assurance
replied to us on July 7. Below is their
reply. You may have a look and feel free
to comments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your email of May 23, 2011
suggesting possible ways to reduce paper
wastage in examinations.
It has already been our practice to
provide answer books with different
number of pages for examiners to choose
from and we will look into your
suggestion of doing away the rough work
side of the answer books. While we
certainly support environmental
protection, it is also important for us
to ensure the fair and smooth conduct of
the examinations. We have, for example,
received student complaints in the past
that they ran out of papers all at the
same time near the end of the
examination but the invigilators were
unable to give them the supplementary
pages in time, thus adversely affecting
their performance. We have also
encountered situations where students,
especially non-HK students, brought in
their own rough papers and violated the
examination regulations as they thought
that no rough papers would be provided.
These are the issues which we would be
looking further into when we further
explore your suggestions.
As for the disposal of the used answer
books, we have checked with a number of
departments on their practice. You would
be pleased to know that for the
departments we contacted, they all
discard the answer books as confidential
recycling papers; and at least in one
department, unused pages are reused.
Anyway, as I have mentioned earlier, we
will look into your suggestions. In the
meantime, if you have any further
suggestions/comments, please feel free
to let me know.

We are writing on suggestions to
Examinations Unit on how to make the
best use of paper in exams. Please feel
free to add your opinions. Below is the
draft.
To: exam@hkucc.hku.hk
Re: Suggestions on Reducing Paper
Wastage in Exams
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are Greenwoods, HKUSU, the oldest
green organization in HKU. We aim to
promote green concepts to every corner
in the campus via peaceful means. And we
will give suggestions to the
corresponding departments when we
discover problems related to
environmental protection in the campus.
Echoing to the University's direction to
develop a sustainable environment and as
students who sit exams, we have two
suggestions on how to make the best use
of paper in exams.
1.
Cut the 'Rough Work' left side; Allow
students to write answers on both sides;
Use a separate 'Rough Work Sheet'
Now, on every page of the exam answer
booklet, the left side is for 'Rough
Work' and answers could only be written
on the right side. But in fact, students
do not use the 'Rough Work' space so
frequently, or they do not need so many
'Rough Work' pages.
So, we suggest the Examinations Unit to
prepare one separate 'Rough Work Sheet'
for students to write their rough work,
which we think is sufficient. Then both
sides of each page of the answer booklet
could be used to write answers. This is
also the long-term practice of HKCEE and
HKALE. With the implementation of this
improvement, almost half of the paper
could be saved.
2. Set the number of
pages in the answer booklet according to
how many students really need
For most students, they only need 1/4 to
1/2 of the pages provided in the answer
booklet to finish his/her answering. A
considerable number of pages would then
be unused.
So, we suggest for each exam, the number
of pages provided in the answer booklet
should only be slightly higher than the
average demand. It is more appropriate
to provide extra papers for students who
write a lot only upon their request
during the exam. Given the huge amount
of answer booklets used each semester,
the above improvement can also save a
significant amount of paper.
Also, we would like to ask about how the
used answer booklets and the unused
pages will be treated? Recycled for used
answer booklets? Reused then recycled
for unused pages? It would be a great
green achievement for the Examinations
Unit if both questions could be answered
'yes' either now, or in the future.
It is hoped that the above suggestions
could be taken into account in the
future exam arrangement. Let's join
hands to make the campus greener!
Wishes,
Greenwoods, HKUSU

綠色小提示
Green Tips
|
一個學年又結束了，意味著悠長暑假的來臨。同學仔終於可以在學業上暫時「撻皮」，但環保方面記緊要繼續「搏盡」。以下為一些放暑假時的綠色小提示：
1.
循環再用及回收紙張
又到學期結束須清理書桌的時候，恨不得快點把筆記功課測驗卷等通通丟棄，令它們在你眼前消失，好讓你輕輕鬆鬆放暑假？且慢，先看看紙張是否只用了半張或半面，是的話就要善用那未用過的部分。在確定紙張用完後，就把它們放進回收箱內。
2.
必要時才開冷氣
夏日炎炎，開冷氣在所難以免。但記得溫度不能調得太冷，25度左右不太熱不太冷就剛剛好，也減少發電對環境的負荷。離開房間時記得關掉冷氣。
假如天氣清風送爽的話，比起開冷氣，開窗更是令人感到涼快和自然。
3.
循環再用及回收再造
住Hall的同學，學期結束棄置不合用物品前，謹記先看看能否循環再用，不能的話再看看能否回收再造，再不能的話才把它棄置。
Every Little Helps！
祝大家有個色彩豐富（當中包含綠色）的暑假！
Again another semester has come to the
end, with a long summer holiday adhering
to come. All of us can “tappy” in our study, but we have to continue “striking
hard” to be
green.
Here are some
green
tips
for the summer holiday:
1. Reuse and Recycle Paper
Finally it comes to the end of the
semester, every one of us can’t wait to
throw away all the notes and readings,
clear the desk and embrace the summer
holiday. Hold on! When you dispose the
papers, remember to check whether they
have
been fully used or not. If yes, recycle
them. If no, reuse them.
2. Only use air-conditioning when
necessary
It is inevitable to use air-conditioning
in the melting summer. However, when
enjoying the coolness, remember not to
set the temperature too low. 25℃
would be the perfect level, neither too
hot nor too cold. It can also ease the
pressure of the environment. When you
leave the room, see if the
air-conditioner has been switched off.
If the day is cool and windy,
to
open the window and kiss the wind would
be much more comfortable than staying in
a door-closed-air-conditioned room!
3. Reuse and Recycle
For those living in hall, when you quit
the hall and clear the stuff in your
room, remember to check ahead if those
things can be reused or recycled before
regarding them as rubbish!
Every Little Helps! Wish you all have a
colorful (with Green in) summer holiday!

香港護鯊會
Hong Kong Shark Foundation

Jonathan has cut
his nose off to support "Nose-Off". Copy
and paste this link:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hong-Kong-Shark-Foundation/192958557387074
to join him. And
in less than minutes, we can take a
stand against the senseless slaughtering
of tens of millions of sharks a year.
You could help save several species of
sharks from facing extinction.
Healthy oceans need healthy shark
populations. As apex predators, sharks
play a vital role in regulating marine
ecosystems. Yet, despite their
undeniable importance, tens of millions
of sharks every year are killed for
their fins – primarily to serve an
unsustainable demand for sharks fin
soup.
Hong Kong Shark Foundation, a voluntary
group dedicated to raising awareness
about the importance of sharks in the
marine ecosystem and to reducing
consumption of shark products, has
garnered immense support from countless
parties already. Celebrities, such as
Chet Lam (林一峰) etc. and countless
environmental groups, influential Hong
Kong bloggers and university student
societies are supporting this cause and
now – we need your help.
Just as the human face is designed to
have a nose, so are sharks designed to
have fins! Take a stand now and protect
the delicate balance of marine life as
we know it.
