Crystal Climate Charity Foundation, Crystal International Group Limited x HK Repertory Theatre Interactive Educational Theatre promotes 'Crystal Net Zero 2050'
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Advertisement Climate change has brought serious consequences to the world, resulting in an urgency to achieve net zero carbon emissions standards and educate the next generation about environmental protection. Fully supported by the Crystal Climate Charity Foundation (the 'Climate Foundation') and Crystal International Group Limited ('Crystal Group'), the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre ('HKRep') has devised and produced 'Crystal Net Zero 2050' touring kindergartens across Hong Kong, performing an interactive play 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth' following heroes of the Carbon Reduction Alliance as they combat the Carbon Emission Monster. Last year, the HKRep performed this dynamic interactive drama in 20 schools, teaching students about environmental protection and encouraging them to bring such knowledge back to their families so everyone can contribute to building a better future. Mr. Mike Chow, Head of Education Hub and the playwright, director and producer of 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth', said 'Through a fun theatrical approach, kindergarteners can easily grasp the importance of reducing their carbon footprint and adopting sustainable habits from an early age.' The Climate Foundation has long been dedicated to relieving climate poverty and promoting climate education. It firmly believes that education is the cornerstone to sustainable carbon reduction. Mr. Edmund Ng, the Foundation Secretary of the Climate Foundation and Company Secretary of Crystal Group, said 'Last year, we witnessed students immersing themselves in the story, which reaffirms for us that educational theatre can plant the seeds of environmental consciousness in children's hearts, fostering sustainability in living with carbon stewardship. This year we continue to support the HKRep in this effort, hoping that even more children and their families can benefit from these educational performances, working towards in building a better future in reaching 'Crystal Net Zero 2050'.' Riding on its success last year, the HKRep has toured more than 30 schools in the past school term. HKRep plans to visit more kindergartens in the upcoming school year, spreading the word to more children about carbon stewardship.
