Greenpeace Brings 7,000 Signatures to Environment Bureau, Demand CO2 Caps on Power Plants

May 06, 2008

Two Greenpeace activists dressed up in eyeball costume today bring 7,000 signatures collected earlier to the Environment Bureau and covered the EB door with “surveillance eyes”. The act is to present public voices to urge the Bureau to cap carbon dioxide from power plants in the recent Air Pollution Control Ordinance (APCO) amendment and as a move against climate change.

60% of Food Brands Refused Non-GE Committment

April 29, 2008

Greenpeace launches the latest “Shoppers’ Guide to Avoiding GE Food 2008”. Amongst nearly 600 common food brands in the market, only around 40% pledged not to use GE ingredients. In the categories of chips and biscuits, even a lower record of 20% has committed. The government’s delaying policy to implementing a mandatory labelling system is causing Hong Kong citizens to consume GE food unwittingly.

On the eve of the World Health Organization’s World Health Day, which falls under the theme of climate change this year, Greenpeace activists covered their eyes with black cloths and unleash black balloons representing CO2, in front of a banner which says “Edward Yau Letting Go of CO2, Hong Kong Climate in Danger”. The act is to condemn the government of turning a blind eye to uncontrolled CO2 emissions from power plants, which directly impose adverse impacts to the environment and citizens’ health.

April 06, 2008

While the Hong Kong Observatory warns that winter will disappear in two decades, the government shows no sign to cap carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in its latest amendment to the Air Pollution Control Ordinance (APCO). Yet a Greenpeace survey shows that 70% of interviewees believe it is urgent for the authority to tackle climate change, while more than 80% support regulation to carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
