SHANGHAI, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao further joins the global race to preserve and improve the earth's ecological condition with the use of environmentally-sound materials in the presentation of moon cakes for this year's Mid Autumn Festival.  Consistently recognized in the travel and hospitality community as one of the city's most outstanding hotels, Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao lives up to its image as a responsible organization when it offers celebrators of this traditional event its signature Mid Autumn Festival pastries -- the Luxurious & Deluxe Moon Cake -- in 100% certified "green" boxes.

Miss. Kara Hui, the renowned TVB (Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Limited) and movie actress, is the Green ambassador for Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao and Hilton Shanghai's 2012 Mid-Autumn Day Green Project. A star in numerous films and TV series, Ms. Hui has received several awards in recognition of her distinguished acting: Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Festival and at the Vladivostok International Film Festival and Best Supporting Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards and the Asian Film Awards.  She will also attend the press conference to be held in July of this world-acclaimed program. Kara says "This Mid-Autumn Day, let's celebrate the full moon by protecting the nature" as her sincere wish that the Green Moon Cake project could achieve.

The moon cakes are packaged in a re-useable box, made of certified, 100% recycled material. Hilton is the first to employ this environmentally sound practice in the hope that this pioneering effort will raise awareness of the importance of managing the world's natural resources to save the planet for future generations. For every box purchased, RMB10 will be donated to World Wide Fund for Nature, developing and promoting alternative livelihoods for the local farmers and community in the Qin Ling Wild Giant Panda Habitat.

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world's largest environmental conservation organizations with offices in more than 100 countries.  Its mission is to stop the degradation of the earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by conserving the world's biological diversity. WWF started to protect the forest habitat of the giant pandas since 1980.  Facing the threats of deforestation, infrastructure construction, mass tourism, climate change and other developments, the habitat has been reduced and degraded, leading to the fragmentation of giant panda distribution and many other issues.  Immediate conservation efforts are needed to save this iconic species and Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao persists in doing as the 3rd year of cooperation with WWF regarding the protection project.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, traditionally celebrated when the moon is at its brightest, is a festive occasion to enjoy the delicious Moon Cake, an auspicious symbol of wholeness and harmony.  It is also a popular gift to mark one of the year’s most awaited holidays.

Everyone is encouraged to take this time -- the joyous celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival - to help spread the message of sustainability by way of this beautiful gift.
