Let’s Join Towngas Graffiti Lanterns Exhibition and Workshops

The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) is organising its Towngas Low-Carbon Mid-Autumn Fun event to encourage Hong Kong’s youngsters to lead a low-carbon life.

As part of the Towngas Low-Carbon Mid-Autumn Fun programme, over 200 graffiti Chinese lanterns designed by this new low-carbon generation, together with three “cute” rabbit figures carrying low-carbon messages designed by the Sugar Club, are being exhibited at Youth Square in Chai Wan from 24 August to 13 September 2011.

Towngas will also be organising three Towngas Low-Carbon Mid-Autumn Fun Graffiti Lanterns Workshops, promoting the benefits of low-carbon living and sharing the joys of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At these sessions, participants will design their own recycled-paper lanterns. These lanterns are more eco-friendly than those found in the market, as they do not use any plastic and or electricity.

Towngas Low-Carbon Mid-Autumn Fun Event Snapshots

Towngas launched Creative Low-carbon Cupcake x Mooncake, and Creative Low-carbon Graffiti Lanterns workshops before the event on that day. Towngas Volunteer Team and 40 young people joined hands together to produce low-carbon Cupcake x Mooncake and green graffiti lanterns to celebrate the festival.

Officiating guests and two young people are making revolutionary modern Chinese lanterns with recycled paper. Painting the lanterns, graffiti style with blessings and good wishes, they demonstrated just how easily low-carbon elements can be incorporated into traditional Chinese culture.

Young people are having fun in front of the low-carbon, creative graffiti backdrop of the Towngas Low-Carbon Mid-Autumn Fun event.
