Publicity
The Green Student Council actively promotes its mission of environmental protection through the mass media, notably by doing interviews in some radio programmes. On 17 September 2005, the President was interviewed by RTHK Radio 2. In the interview, he talked about what the organization had been doing and the difficulties encountered when the organization promotes the awareness of environmental protection.
They also strive hard to raise public awareness by collaborating with celebrities, politicians and other public organizations in different campaigns. Furthermore, some competitions like the slogan and poster design are held regularly to promote the message of environmental protection.
Sometimes, they give out awards to people who are concerned about the environment, such as the 10th 'Good Student Award' held in the summer 2006 which aimed to award the students who had actively participated in environmental protection activities.
The Green Student Council also uses different means of demonstration to promote the message of environmental protection. For example, a bicycle parade was held in April 2006 to promote the reduction of plastic bag usage.

Famous quotes containing the word publicity:
“All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.”
—Brendan Behan (1923–1964)
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“With publicity comes humiliation.”
—Tama Janowitz (b. 1957)
