Get involved and let the sunshine in!
"One Square Meter of Sunshine” (OSMS) is a green environmental development initiative launched by AWCPD, aimed at promoting urban ecological sustainability through broad social participation and creating more green spaces. This project integrates efforts from communities, families, schools, and businesses, encouraging people to utilise idle spaces such as balconies, gardens, and community corners to plant flowers, vegetables, or other greenery. By doing so, the project seeks to enhance environmental quality, raise environmental awareness, and create a green linkage between public and private spaces, ultimately achieving a shared urban environment for all.
The core principles of "One Square Meter of Sunshine" are: strengthening parent-child interaction, promoting harmonious family relationships, improving environmental quality, raising environmental awareness and social responsibility, encouraging broad social participation, and creating a linkage between public and private spaces.
