「管制即棄塑膠公眾參與文件」歎慢板落後國際步伐 綠惜地球促規管進口貨品定減量目標

(2021年8月26日新聞稿) 拖拖拉拉逾十五年的《都市固體廢物收費條例》(下稱《垃圾收費》)今日終在立法會三讀通過,但不代表該減廢火車頭便可全速啟動。綠惜地球指出,環保部門與政黨在三月舉行閉門會議,商議出連串附加限制,令法例有效落實徒添變數,減廢成效甩轆。

Joint Green Groups Recommendation for the updated Climate Action Plan

(28 Sep 2021 Press Release) The first part of the 6th assessment report released by IPCC in August 2021 indicates that climate change is now an—if not the most—existential threat to humanity. The impacts are no longer expected to just affect the next generation. The impacts are being manifested now. The IPCC, despiteits inherently conservative nature states, “Global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C will be exceeded during the 21st century unless deep reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades… With further global warming, every region is projected to increasingly experience concurrent and multiple changes in climatic impact-drivers. Changes in several climatic impact-drivers would be more widespread at 2°C compared to 1.5°C global warming”. We are already seeing the enormous human and economic costs with the storms, droughts, and heat creating floods and fires in all continents.

可怒也!

(2021年09月24日專欄)上天發脾氣,真的「唔係人咁品」。我說的,是全球氣候變化。過去,「百年一遇」的天災新聞,已夠吸睛;可是極端天氣愈見頻繁,未來也許要待「千年一遇」或「萬年一遇」的災,才能走得進新聞門檻。

我的垃圾生活

(2021年09月10日專欄)移居台北一年半,早習慣聽到「雪糕車」音樂,就知道是掉垃圾之時。幾經歷煉,我們已熟知哪天只收廢紙膠袋、哪天才收納瓶子;還有逢周三、周日停收廢物,就別傻更更提着垃圾袋下樓癡癡地等……

做好回收配套 垃圾徵費勿再歎慢板

(2021年09月08日 評論)垃圾收費草案終於在8月26日獲三讀通過,對源頭減廢,減低堆填區的處理壓力本應可喜可賀;惟法規一出,新聞報道、各大社交網絡、討論區卻是質疑、負評之聲不絕,環保團體亦紛紛表示保留。綜觀而論,市民普遍對回收配套不足及非法棄置感擔憂,環團則憂慮法例生效日遙遙無期。
