On 22 April 2010, Hydranautics commemorated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by hosting a special presentation for all employees on Watersheds. This presentation was given by a speaker from a local non-profit organization called “I Love a Clean San Diego.”
A watershed is an area of land that drains its water toward a common water body. Watersheds are important natural resources which provide water for drinking, irrigation and for recreational uses. From the presentation, employees learned how pollutants such as trash, oil, pesticides and pet waste which can be carried by rainwater and urban runoff through a watershed and pollute our environment. Employees also learned about what they can do to prevent pollution in their communities, to protect local watersheds.
In addition, Hydranautics commemorated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by hosting a drawing contest for the children of Hydranautics' employees. Children were encouraged to submit their best drawings which celebrated our planet Earth. The winning drawing was placed on the reusable shopping bag given to all employees during the Earth Day event.
* Earth Day is a day aimed at raising awareness for the global environment. Two Earth Days exist; the United Nations Earth Day and USA Earth Day which take place on March 21st and April 22nd respectively.

In response to Nitto Denko's environmental policy and in support of recycling and waste reduction, the Information Technology Department of Nitto Denko Hong Kong registered for the “Computer Refurbish Project” run by Caritas-Hong Kong Computer Workshop (CCW). CCW is funded by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) of the HK Government. On 19 April 2010, we donated a total of 32 obsolete notebook computers to CCW. This served as an example of our commitment to “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle”, one of our Green 3-R initiatives.
Due to a rapid evolution in technology, vast numbers of computers and computer accessories are disposed of in Hong Kong each year. Most of these objects contain substances that are harmful to people and the environment. Firstly CCW provides on the job training to unemployed youth on how to refurbish obsolete computers which have been collected from donors. Secondly after refurbishment the computers are donated free of charge or sold to disadvantaged people and NGOs at a low price. The unserviceable computers and parts will be dismantled for further recycling based on the EPD guidelines.
We hope that this activity will be of help to the disadvantaged and most importantly to protect the environment.
