Green Christmas Idea #7 - Pot plant cupcake - An Eco-awareness powerhouse
Bringing pot plants to a party may be bizarre, how about an edible one? Aww I am sure all the other guests would be thrilled! Having realized the importance of environmental protection and taking action are like the two sides of a coin, once we buy this in as a delightful idea to having green plants around, it should come as natural for us to support green initiatives like tree planting, urban greening, anti-deforestation etc, theoretically. The call-for-action effect would be even strengthened paired with the luring effect of luscious cupcakes mimicking pot plants :)

| Pot plant cupcakes by Pantry Bread & Pastries, Causeway Bay |
The pot plant cupcakes from Pantry Bread & Pastries look familiar, as I've seen them being featured in TV programs and some other publications. I think these cupcakes are certainly the very type of ready-made (vs custom-made) cupcake that are made to give as gifts. Adorable aren't they!

Green Christmas Idea #8 - Organic farm day
Seeing is believing. Environmental
protection knowledge sometimes takes personal experience to be discerned, like
hands-on farming, eco tours to the mangroves, wetlands, or even tours to the
landfills. Despite the diminished agricultural industry in Hong Kong, there are
indeed many organic farms scattered in the New Territories which concern not
the amount of produce, but the education!
Most of them are well
organized for people of all age to visit, offering activities such as guided
tours in organic farms, eco-handcraft workshops, and organic produce picking.
Check out some of the
organic farms open for public below:
