The "Roving Exhibition on Persistent Organic Pollutants" organized by EPD is being held from 7 November 2011 to 12 March 2012, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the signatory of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and enhance public awareness on POPs. Through this exhibition activity, the general public will gain a better understanding of the efforts by various government departments in the management of POPs and also how our daily lifestyle would help reduce the impact of POPs on the environment and human health. All are welcome to visit the roving exhibition which will be staged in 9 locations in Hong Kong.

<a href="http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/climate_change/ca_intro.html">Green Hong Kong&amp;#x2027;Carbon Audit</a> campaign is striding into its second year. More and more organizations have joined the campaign as the Carbon Audit&amp;#x2027;Green Partners. We set up a Chinese website named "<a href="http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/climate_change_cases/index.html" target="_blank">Carbon Reduction&amp;#x2027;Every Step Counts</a>" to introduce how 15 of our Carbon Audit&amp;#x2027;Green Partners from different sectors reduce their emissions in real life. We hope that more organizations and the public can better understand ways to reduce their carbon emissions and join us to combat climate change.</description>
