‘BYO GO!’ Campaign – Support ‘Bring Your Own’ for Fun and Freebies! (Various events from Nov 1-9)
Don’t want our Earth to drown in waste? Let’s make a difference by ditching disposable cups, lunchboxes, cutlery and straws in our daily life and supporting the ‘Bring Your Own (BYO)’ movement by bringing our own reusable cups, containers and cutlery!
The Campus Planning and Sustainability Office will launch a ‘BYO GO!’ Campaign on 1 November to engage our students, staff and caterers. Besides various fun activities, there will be delicious FREE food and drinks for those who bring their own containers! All CUHK students and staff are welcome.
