Eco Party | This time, I’m cheering for the earth!

In early March, Shanghai Roots & Shoots held an eco party, inviting everyone to take a break from the city’s hustle and bustle to enjoy the nature, take part in the exciting carbon-reducing themed games and workshops, and win rewards for every eco-friendly action. The concept of sustainability is gradually becoming a lifestyle.

In this eco party, we also invited several companies and institutions to set up booths, introducing their brand concept, encouraging eco-friendly choices and sustainable lifestyle! Hona Organic promotes organic food and sustainable diet choices and provided everyone with free tastings of healthy organic vinegar drinks; Bio Farm brought the benefits of exchanging used books for organic vegetables; “Nestle Pure Life” provided free drinks for on-site events; Shantao Buy42 charity store called on donating the used things to help others; Snow Peak presented their signature camping equipment’s…

Shanghai Roots & Shoots prepared unique sustainability-themed workshops and interactive games for everyone to experience and participate for free. The Flow workshop of “Dialogue with Nature” kicked off in the spring rain. Following the footsteps of the guide, participants explored the mysteries of nature around us and discovered the greenery in the city. More than 15 family groups participated in the SDGs sustainable workshop organized by Poker Charity. The students of junior and senior high school designed their own environmental game, balancing the logics behind and interactive experiences.  At “Happy Bottle Happy Ocean” game, more than 10% of the used plastic bottles on-stie were recycle and redesigned. Many parents let their children try the ‘Sorting and Recycling’, ‘Carbon Footprint’ themed games to learn how to sort out the daily garbage and reducing carbon footprint in daily life. 

The leaders from Roots & Shoots school groups stood out with their amazing ideas, presenting all kinds of eco themes in unique ways. All the visitors were deeply impressed. 

Guest artists were playing the acoustic handpan music. The ethereal and melodious sounds led every audience into a calming zone. Accompanied by the drizzle, the melody took you to feel the breath of nature, as if you were in the forest or the ocean, resonating with all living things and feeling the rhythm of life.

In addition, there was a pet adoption corner, introducing how to care for the pets and called for adoption instead of purchase, raising awareness of the benefits of stray animals. This not only helps the animals but also focuses on the ecosystem in the cities. 

The jumble sale area was very popular. Selling or reusing the discarded items would greatly reduce the carbon emissions caused by the landfill of garbage. At the same time, donating these items to the charity and recycling agencies is something that everyone can do. 

Is it life that chooses you, or do you choose life? As long as you take action, you can bring changes to yourself and nature! Act on what you learn! This is the eco party! Looking forward to seeing you next time! Thanks to the following charity partners for their support of this event!
