The Government's Commitment

The Government is committed to educating the public about protecting the environment. To achieve this, the Environmental Resource Centres, the Visitor Centres and the Green Education and Resource Centre have been set up to provide environmental information with related activities and programmes.

Environmental Resource Centres

kNOw Carbon House (Former Wan Chai Environmental Resource Centre)

The former Wan Chai Environmental Resource Centre has been transformed into the “kNOw Carbon House” after renovation and will soon be ready to meet the public.  With the theme of carbon neutrality, the new “kNOw Carbon House” aims to raise public awareness on the subject through a wide variety of interactive experience and educational activities, including interactive games, talks, environmental workshops, etc.  Apart from honouring the original architecture and keeping items with historic value from the Old Wan Chai Post Office, the new “kNOw Carbon House” also provides multimedia educational materials to make your visits more delightful.  The well-known mascot “Big Waster” is also there to introduce to all of us how we can lead a low-carbon lifestyle by making small changes in our daily habits in respect of clothing, food, living and travel.  Currently, the centre is only open for reservation of visits by schools or groups on a trial operation basis, and the official opening date for the general public will be announced later.
