Air pollution
We have pretty high air pollution index today, particularly in area like Central or Mongkok. Actually, we do not need any sort of pollution index in order to understand the level or air pollution in Hong Kong. We can simply look at our harbour. It is misty. Air quality is very important to our health. In the past 10 years, I witnessed that a number of measures have been adopted to improve our air quality. However, the situation is deteriorating. We need to seek cooperation with the China. There are 60,000 factories in the Guangdong. Pollutants can be brought to Hong Kong by the northerly wind. There are tremendous work we need to do to improve our air quality for ourselves and also for our next generation. I shall join the Environment Panel when I return to the Legislative Council in order to follow up issues to improve the air quality of Hong Kong.

I'm very glad you fell air pollution is going from frying pan to fire. But I also think that from the IT point of view, we can did very little.
To solve the problem, 1st need to find out what causes the pollution. Hong Kong have no more industry, why still pollution? A lot of them are from the petroleum of our vehicles. The Taxi now changing to GAS, this is a good move, how about extending the project to the cars own by private? How about actively looking at the hybrid vehicles from Japan? How about to carry out the law more efficient and tightly by random test the vehicles on the road? As I know from a garage friend most of them join their garage to cheat the government. This is a serious crime because their car produce 2 to 6 times more polluted substance.
I've some ideas about our software industry also, but this is long story, and before I can find a better way to contact you, let's stop here.
