It seems that people are becoming more aware of the effects of climate change.
We appreciate the threat posed by greenhouse gas emissions.
Yet although people have this awareness, many do little in the form of practical action to curb the effects of global warming.
We must address environmental issues, because the problems we create are damaging Hong Kong’s reputation.
For example, regulations must be introduced to control the problems caused by light pollution. You see brightly lit advertising signboards. They remain switched on throughout the night, which is unnecessary.
We must have laws that ban this waste of energy.
