HOUSES IN ACTION
A Sustainable Festive Season
Sustainable seasonal celebrations are a tradition at The Temple House. Every Christmas, we incorporate recycled materials as whimsical and thought-provoking festive decorations for our community-driven tree-lighting ceremony. In the past years, we’ve featured recycled bamboo, recycled glass bottles from guest rooms, upcycled bottles from Tivano and Jing, used tea candle shells from Daci Temple and repurposed wooden floorboards from our House.

Saying No to Plastic
We have reduced and removed single-use plastics from our House – replacing all straws, hampers, room amenity wrappers and toothbrushes with products made from biodegradable materials. In our rooms, plastic water bottles have been replaced with glass and reusable cloth bags are now provided. Every small change helps us achieve our goal of reducing our carbon footprint.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
The Temple Café, Tivano and Mi Xun Teahouse received the "Three-Leaf Rating", Swire Properties' Green Kitchen Initiative, for their green renovation decisions with the goal of building an energy efficient kitchen.
Some measures include: installing water economisers on all water taps, using LED lighting and standard water saving dish washing machines, as well as ORCA kitchen waste processor to drastically cut down on the waste we produce.

DOING OUR PART, SMALL AND BIG
As a chef, aside from using various appliances to save energy and reduce emissions in the kitchen, I also constantly remind myself to prepare my ingredients and dishes in a more sustainable way, which has gradually become my daily habit.
