Government wants to make reclamation easier and change the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance. We don’t oppose exempting small reclamations which enhance enjoyment of the harbour. We object to changing responsibility for the burden of proof away from Government.
“Contrary to the popular opinion that the city does a poor job of recycling, Hong Kong is quite successful,” writes Paul Zimmerman for @hkfp, citing respectable paper and waste metal recovery rates. “This is thanks to the efforts of a dense network of cleaners.” @DesigningHK
With waste charging postponed, recycling is on the shoulders of Hong Kong’s cleaners 🔗 buff.ly/3wUpoka
Let's recognise role 300k++ cleaners in households, businesses, buildings, estates and streets play in recycling. Support with space and facilities needed to collect, separate and sell recyclables; and let them keep income from the sales. Full story: shorturl.at/tuvCK
For the attention of the Harbourfront Commission, the Kai Tak Development Office and the Energizing Kowloon East Office … what is the future for cyclists and pedestrians in Kai Tak?

Change in membership of HK’s district councils will constrain feedback from community to government. Our proposals for enhancing district councils may not compensate inefficiencies of an appointment system, but go a long way to building better communities. mailchi.mp/designinghongk…

#HongKong disposes of more than 2,300 tons of #plastic waste a day, and with a low #recycling rate of 11%, most of it goes into landfills. Discover how EPAM and #DrinkWithoutWaste are fighting the plastic crisis in Hong Kong. epamsys.co/3LKZKnh @EPAMAPAC #ESG #recycle
Singapore released a white paper regarding its Covid-19 response; here are the main points: looking back at their experience, and how they can improve their response for the next pandemic. That Hong Kong won’t even bother to conduct a public inquiry is, honestly, shameful
HK is the only place where defending masks is conflated with keeping them mandatory. These are separate issues. Masks work when worn properly in certain situations, but making it illegal not to wear one is frankly anachronistic by now.
Only #HK would get 11 men in suits to launch a tourism campaign. At least they removed their mandatory masks for the photo. HK, Where Wonders Never Cease.
So-called "experts" and HK CE John Lee say the #HK mask mandate must remain for fear of overwhelming hospitals during the "winter flu surge". Will we be doing that every year then? What surge? Here are the influenza-associated admission rates since 2019 up to week 3 of 2023:
1) Zero covid with planned exit strategy as in Singapore will ultimately be shown to be the best strategy 2) Zero covid with no plan for exit as in Hong Kong is a bad strategy BUT let it rip early is worse HK still <50% pro rata mortality of US/UK bmj.com/content/379/bm…
Lessons for China from the Covid response in HK and Singapore? @JaneParryHK and I wrote this article for the BMJ 'The lesson from HK is that failure to acknowledge and communicate the need for a transitional plan can be devastating for population health' bmj.com/content/379/bm…
