Hong Kong’s green heroes

Today on www.google.com.hk you’ll find the first ever Google doodle designed by a Hong Kong student. We asked kindergarten to secondary school students of the city’s inaugural Doodle 4 Google contest in Hong Kong to come up with a design under the theme “If I were a green hero...”.

Wong Chiu-yung’s work was chosen among 3,500 designs that were inspired by solutions to make the world a greener place to be featured on the Google HK homepage for a day. Wong, a secondary six student at Pok Oi Hospital Tang Pui King Memorial College, wrote that as a green hero, she would do everything to live a green lifestyle. Her design emphasizes how water is a precious resource which sustains life and nourishes all that is on earth.

We’re inspired by the creativity and all the big ideas coming out of our first Doodle 4 Google competition in Hong Kong, and hope these encourage many more heroic green acts.
