  23. Interview Question: What is your opinion about the government’s policy towards a cleaner Hong Kong?

  24. The policy adopted by the government is not effective. The perception of the people doesn't change. They don’t throw the rubbish because they are afraid to be fined. The best method is education. A local resident Partially, it depends on which area. As Hong Kong government wants to boost tourist industry,she puts more resources to tourist spots than the places we live. Pollution still exists in the urban areas. Candy(6A)

  25. I don’t think so. As you can see rubbish easily and some people, especially the elderly, still spilt. The policy can be more strict. The government can have more promotion and held talks to educate the people. A foreigner I think they are effective since there are less people throwing the rubbish after the adoption of the Fixed Penalty System. However, the air pollution still exists. The government should encourage more drivers to use the LPG gas. Amy (6A)

  26. Suggested Remedies • Education • Set up Environment Law • Adopt public opinion
