Let There Be Light

Time, May 13 2006 (Pg 21)

I think that the massive amount of pollution in Hong Kong is disgusting. Things seem to be getting from bad to worse, and only now do people get really fed up with it. This problem should and could have been tackled a long while ago. However, as they say, better late than never. Hong Kong should really buck up and act fast to save the health of it's citizens. The pollution is really dangerous to people's health, not to mention doing damage to the image of the city. You can't see the sky at all, apart from advertisements for luxury apartments, which is rather sad as well, and tourists might be deterred from coming because of this on top of the health hazard.

Of course solving the problem isn't that easy when traffic is dense and pollution doesn't dissipate quickly. But that doesn't make the problem any less urgent. Hong Kong leaders need to put aside all airs and acknowledge the problem before it is too late, or the people of Hong Kong will suffer even more severely for it.
