'Every little bit makes a big difference!' Jiminy Cricket said to Pinocchio.
These words from the famous Disney cartoon character have inspired more than 40,000 Hong Kong primary school students to do their bit for the environment.
Jiminy Cricket always sits on Pinocchio's shoulder and, like his conscience, helps him make the right decisions.
Jiminy Cricket's Environmentality Challenge, a joint effort between the government and the private sector, aims to raise students' environmental awareness and to give them an opportunity to get involved involvement in conservation.
Teachers discussed environmental challenges with their students, who signed an 'Environmentality Pledge'. They were asked to identify an environmental challenge and propose a plan to tackle it.
Altogether 240 class projects were submitted, and 10 teams were outstanding, including: Class 1B and 3D of St Bonaventure Catholic Primary School, Class 3C of NTW & JWAL Leung Sing Tak Primary School, Class 4B of CCC Chuen Yuen First School (PM), Class 4A (PM) and 5A (AM) of SKH Lui Ming Choi Memorial Primary School, Primary Six of SKH Wing Chun Primary School and Class 6B of Tai Po Methodist School.
