Tesa: How did today's Greenpeace interview go? I hope it went well.

Today I picked up a recorder from Ben for our visit tomorrow to David Ellery in Yuen Long (again, see you in Central MTR at 9:30 AM). I spoke today with the Yuen Long DC assistant, and he was hopeful about our meeting with the Enviro-Improvement Committee chair this Monday, March 31. As always, I'll keep you two posted. Bong

Oh.... there are maps on the website- so I'm going to print them out later at the media lab and then bring them tomorrow to show the driver or ask people if we aren't sure how to get there. I think the nearest train station would be Fanling- 3rd last station from Lo Wu on the old KCR line.

We can meet at 10am for breakfast around the station- then talk about it- then head to the farm at about 11:45 am, take a few pics of the area before they arrive.
Thnx

hey pals,

i have more information about the green family. the french lady and her chinese husband are both green people who try their best in conserving the environment. they are not activists, but they do many tiny little things at home, such as:

- avoid flushing the toilet bowl until they think it smells
- instead of having the water tap kept running, they would fill the basin with water, use it to wash the vegetables, then save it later to wash the dishes
- they bring their own bags to markets
- they dont have any air-conditioners installed at home
- if they see any usable furniture or wood pieces, they bring it home and hammer it into a bed/cabinet themselves

my friend who gave me her contact said we can give her a call directly. so i'll ring her up tomorrow. as for Ho Loy, i have already gotten her mobile contact. i'll give her a ring and see if she is willing to have an interivew with us.

Thanks for the effort, Bong. I took some pictures of waste during the holidays and did some research. Unfortunately, we didn't get any interviews done. I will keep requesting for interviews related to the story line that we've discussed. Besides the two Bong contacted, I will try to get in touch with the two I posted onto the Resources Page. Talk to you during class break.

Hi there,

I know you're going to interview some people from the Green Student Council. I've interviewed Michelle before. They group doesn't have a permanent office so if you're planning to do interviews with them you might have to arrange to do it elsewhere but Michelle is also a HKU student so if you give her a call in advance then I suppose you can easily arrange with her to do it on campus if not at the Caritas event.

Ladies: Thanks for our productive meeting Saturday. Just want to encourage you to list possible resources on the appropriate page as we take photos this week. We can divide the interviews and update one another here. Thanks again, Bong

Are we also thinking about exploring organic farming in schools? I googled "Hong Kong+school+organic farm", and this website came out: http://journeytoforever.org/edu.html. It seems it is advocating organic farming in schools. If you are interested, you can have a look!
