節能上班輕裝騷
Cool Biz Fashion Show
商界人士及政府官員於六月三日參與演出「節能上班輕裝騷」，示範多款輕便的服飾。「節能上班輕裝騷」旨在延續去年開展的「藍天行動」，希望進一步鼓勵更多公司和機構讓員工在夏天輕裝上班，減少消耗能源，正視全球暖化問題。這項活動由環保署聯同環境保護運動委員會舉辦，為響應二○○七年世界環境日的全球主題，注視氣候轉變，同時回應市民對空氣污染問題的關注。「節能上班輕裝騷」電視特輯，將於六月九日晚上九時三十分無線電視翡翠台播出。
On 3 June, business personages and senior government officials paraded along the catwalk in causal business attires. To keep up the momentum of the Action Blue Sky launched last year, the "Cool Biz Fashion Show" aims to further encourage more corporations and institutions to adopt a "dress down" policy in summer, saving energy in the age of global warming. The "Cool Biz Fashion Show" was organised by the EPD, together with the Environmental Campaign Committee, to tie in with the global theme of the World Environment Day 2007 on climate change and to address local concerns over air pollution. The show will be broadcast on TVB Jade on June 9 at 9:30 pm. |
