Greenpeace activists stage a sit-in on board the container ship 'Yang Ming', berthed at Kwai Chung Container Terminal, as they wait for a decision to be made by Hong Kong Customs on a specific container of electronic waste (e-waste) on board the ship. The 'Yang Ming', en route from the United States, and bound for San Shui port in China's Guangdong Province, is carrying 'e-waste', for processing in China - potentially putting lives in the developing nation at risk from the handling of toxic and hazardous substances found in old computers.
