加強宣傳教育 配合垃圾費
|
|
香港在減廢進度上一直落後於鄰近城市，根據台北市政府環境保護局數據顯示，台北市於一八年的垃圾量為每日約二千公噸，較一九九九年足足減少四成，當中成功減廢的其中一個主要因素，在於二○○○年所實施的垃圾徵費政策，不但從源頭減少廢物產生，而且加強了市民的回收意識，資料顯示資源回收率從○一年的大約一成二大增至一七年約六成...

| 中國排大量CFC-11 違國際公約破壞臭氧 香港地球之友促港府加強與國內通報機制
|
科學學術期刊《自然》剛發表的研究顯示，中國東北地區的一氟三氯甲烷（CFC-11）排放量，自2013年以來不斷上升，當中2014至2017年的全球排放量，較2008至2012年每年增加約7,000噸，佔全球增長率四成至六成。CFC-11於70至80年代被廣泛使用，用作空調冷媒和泡沫隔熱材料。CFC-11不但會破壞地球臭氧層，導致到達地球表面的的紫外線增加，對人類和整個生態系統造成嚴重影響，CFC-11亦是一種比二氧化碳強5,000倍的溫室氣體，加劇全球暖化的威脅... |

當市民對都市林之質素和服務的期望越趨提高，就意味著財政預算有增加的壓力（對政府當局來說，這似乎是個負擔所以不想觸及罷！）。一直以來，本港很多都市林組件（如郊野、公園、花園、綠化空間等）僅由政府資金去管理和運作也是個事實。在這情況下，公眾的參與就固然很少了；另一方面，置身事外的市民亦往往會埋怨政府在綠化和樹木管理工作上的質素。因此，多年來的經驗告訴我們，僅僅依靠公共財政來管理綠色基建，似乎難以滿足迅速提升的公眾期望...

Municipal Solid Waste Audit and Waste Reduction at School
|
|
The ECF-sponsored "Municipal Solid Waste Audit and Waste Reduction at School” is coming to an end. Most of the schools have already finished all activities including waste audits, student ambassador workshops, school talks and exhibitions. We are now gathering feedback from students and teachers on the programme. Although the programme is in its final stage, we hope all participants will remember and spread the green living message of reducing waste at source and clean recycling.
