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.

“I saw the best minds of my generation
Reading their poems to Vassar girls,
Being interviewed by Mademoiselle.

When can I go into an editorial office
And have my stuff published because I’m weird?
I could go on writing like this forever . . .”
