“Green T Baby” has been actively shouldering the role of MTR’s green ambassador since its debut
last year, promoting a green lifestyle from MTR Corporation’s position as a low-carbon public
transport provider. The Corporation will be organising the inaugural “Green T Baby Fun Day” on
16 March 2024 (Saturday), aiming to let Green T Baby step into the community and engage the
public through enjoyable activities while fostering the sense of environmental protection and
energy saving. On the same day, MTR Corporation will also sponsor the “Green WALK Hong
Kong 2024” organised by the World Green Organisation (WGO) to jointly promote a low-carbon
lifestyle.
The “Green T Baby Fun Day” will be held at the Central Harbourfront Event Space. “Green T Baby”
will convey environmental messages to the participants in a hands-on, friendly, and fun way.
There will be several family-friendly “Green T Baby” photo spots at the entrance and inside the
venue, as well as “Green Experience Zones” that echo MTR Corporation’s green initiatives. A 6-
metre “Green T Baby” inflatable is the largest “Green T Baby” to date and will be an unmissable
spot for the public. The “Green Experience Zone – Electric Mini Train” incorporates cute MTR
elements for children to drive as train captains. There will also be a variety of food stalls serving
classic Hong Kong snacks available along the railway lines, as well as a “Green Experience Zone
– Go Green Bar” featuring two limited edition drinks with green elements, so that families can
enjoy “Fun & Gourmet” at the same time.
“MTR Corporation is committed to embedding environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’)
considerations into all aspects of its business. As a low-carbon public transport provider, the
Corporation has consistently utilised its network and resources to advocate for environmental
protection,” said Ms Linda Choy, Corporate Affairs and Branding Director of MTR Corporation.
“On the ‘Green T Baby Fun Day’, Green T Baby will be the protagonist who aims to encourage
the public to adopt low-carbon habits in their daily lives and foster the development of a
sustainable community through a series of outdoor games and activities. Together, we can
make significant strides towards a greener future and keep cities moving sustainably.”
The “Green T Baby Fun Day” has four designated time slots with limited capacity. Entry will be
allowed with a QR code ticket. There will be 4 sessions: 9:00am, 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:30pm.
Registered MTR Mobile users can reserve free tickets via MTR Mobile from 12:00nn on 20
February on a first-come-first-served basis. After successful registration, QR code tickets will be
received through MTR Mobile.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is one of the three environmental and social objectives
of MTR Corporation, and various energy saving, and carbon reduction measures have been implemented in the Corporation’s railway and property businesses in Hong Kong for the longer-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. For years, the Corporation has been practicing “regenerative braking” by capturing and reusing the energy emitted by trains during braking. The Corporation is also embarking on the installation of more solar panels at stations, depots, and MTR malls including the largest flexible solar panels system project in a single building in Hong Kong at the Pat Heung Depot. LED lights are gradually replacing traditional lighting at stations, and water dispensers are being added for passengers’ convenience. MTR will continue to promote a low-carbon lifestyle from various perspectives.
