MGM, dedicated to promoting sustainable development, technological innovation, and green technology education in Macau, has partnered with the Macao Science Center (MSC) to launch a three-year "Sustainable Development Innovation & Technology and Green Skills Education Campaign". This initiative will organize a series of science popularization activities focused on science and green development. The partnership aims to enhance participants' knowledge, skills, values, and perspectives in this field, encouraging their contributions to a sustainable and resource-efficient environment.
The Campaign’s inaugural project “Shaping a Green Lifestyle Together” is a national youth science popularization competition – organized by the China Green Building Council of the Chinese Society for Urban Studies – specifically for Form 2 to 5 students nationwide. This competition allows the participants to embrace real-life and experiential learning revolving around the plastic waste issue, learning how to transform recycled plastic bottles into inventive tools.
Additionally, participants will gain a deeper understanding of applying the "4R" green concepts (reduce, reuse, recycle, and replace) in their daily lives, encouraging them to adopt a green, low-carbon, and healthy lifestyle. MGM also organized a "plastic upcycling" workshop for local students at the Macao Science Center, where plastic bottle caps were creatively transformed into unique household items. This hands-on experience not only enhanced their knowledge of current trends in solid waste management in Macau but also highlighted the importance of reducing unnecessary waste and pollution in everyday life.
In addition to offering various upcoming science popularization activities, MGM and MSC will co-establish Macau’s first educational space dedicated to youth green skills, providing a platform to cultivate the city’s future green professionals. Through these efforts, we aim to raise awareness among students and the public about the current environmental situation, helping to transform Macau into a more eco-friendly and sustainable society.
