Since yesterday, HK is shrouded by a thick haze. It is such major air pollution that I couldnt see the buildings across the sea from my office seat. It is DISGUSTING.
On the 8th Aug, 8pm, the green group had organised a campaign to turn off the lights for 3 mins. I didnt know if it was an act to campaign their cause about bad ait quality, or was it an effort to stop burning fuels for 3 mins.
In anycase, they had seeked private and public sector's support. Normally HK will have lights display at night at 8pm but Donald made a public statement (which i caught off the news segment on TV) refusing to support the campaign, citing that "..delaying the light show will have an impact on HK's image as a modern city."I was appalled. What kind of logic is that? The green group retort back and stated that "It is more a disgarce for a modern city to have such bad air quality such that blue skies and white clouds are a distant memory and hard to come by." With this sort of opposing mentality from public sector, it is no wonder that the air quality continues to deterioriate.
