--for English, please scroll down--

您好，各位保育英雄

我們誠摯邀請你一起參加前往屯門環保園的導遊團。這次的導遊活動預計需時４０分鐘。是次活動將會幫助我們了解香港都巿廢物的情況。從中，我們可學習到如何舒緩此問題及如何通過改變我們的生活習慣去減低生態足跡。

探訪活動後，我們會返回屯門，一起享用午膳。

訪客中心（下稱「中心」）位於環保園行政大樓南翼，佔地約1,000平方米，是香港首間以廢物為主題的大型資源教育中心。中心的宗旨是透過宣傳教育及外展計劃，讓公眾認識不同的廢物處理方法和學習如何減少廢物的產生，從而加強公眾的環保意識，並就貼身的環保議題進行反思，藉此培養市民保護環境的公德心，長遠解決環境問題，擕手打造一個清潔、健康及可持續發展的城市。

中心共分為8個區域，包括廢物走廊、電影區、1:1立體堆填區模型、3Rs區、產品展覽廊、願望池及遊戲區等，透過多媒體虛擬三維技術、遊戲及電影等生動有趣方式表達環境保護的重要性，加深訪客對香港都市固體廢物處理的認識及提高訪客的環保意識，並鼓勵他們再思『減少』、『再用』及『再造』的基本概念，從日常生活入手，積極減廢。

註:

• 此次環保園的導遊團有15個名額。如有興趣參加，請事先登記，預留位置。

• 由於環保園位置偏遠，我們需乘坐長途車前往該處。屆時請務必在指定時間內到達地鐵站集合點等候。

Dear Sustainability heroes,

It's with my greatest pleasure to invite you to join me for a guided tour of Eco Park in Tuen Mun. This tour will last about 40 minutes and will help us understand what is the situation with municipal waste in Hong Kong and how we can improve it and change our habits in order to lower our ecological footprint.

After the visit, we will return to Tuen Mun proper and have lunch together there.

"The Visitor Centre (hereinafter "the Centre"), with an area of 1,000 square meter, is situated in the South Wing of the Administration Building of EcoPark. It is the first large-scale education resource centre in Hong Kong with the theme of municipal waste. The primary purpose of the Centre is to provide information about waste management and waste reduction to the visiting public through educational promotion and outreaching programmes, with a view to arousing community awareness on relevant environmental issues, and improving the environmental ethic within the community. The ultimate goal of the Centre is to find a long-term solution for the environmental problem so that a clean, thriving and sustainable city can be developed.

The Centre consists of 8 zones, including Waste Corridor, Movie Area, 1:1 3-D Landfill Model, 3Rs Zone, Product Gallery, Reflection Pond and Group Game Zone. With interesting 3-D technology, advanced multimedia design, interactive games and movies demonstrating the importance of environmental protection, visitors' understanding of municipal solid waste management in Hong Kong and environmental awareness can be enhanced, encouraging them to rethink about 3Rs - "Reduce", "Reuse" and "Recycle" and put green living style into practice."

Note:

(1) I've have pre-booked this tour with EcoPark for only 15 people for that slot. Please make sure your RSVP reflect your intention.

(2) Please try to be punctual as our guide expect us to be on the site on time. We still need to take a long bus ride from the MTR meeting point as the site is remote.
