    Well in a very basic sense its not. Selfishly drive your kids around in private cars, whilepolluting our air and land (with roads, factories to make car). It doesn't leave a very pretty or healthy world. Look at the life expectancy and health issues in China.

    If that bothers you so much....

    Why do you choose to live in a city that is so heavily dependent on imported produce, basically a service industry city, an unsustainable city that cannot provide for itself.

    it cant provide enough electricity for itself
    it cant provide enough fresh water for itself
    it cant provide anywhere near the MASSIVE food demand that its over population demands.
    it imports majority of the things that allow you to live a moderately comfortable life.

    This is where I broadside your feeble anti car argument....

    One super container ship when it arrives into Kwai Chung container terminal, produces the eqv exhaust emissions of 10's of thousands of modern cars ! Now consider that Kwai Chung is one of the busiest shipping terminals in the world, even if nobody drove modern Euro VI emission vehicles ( HK has one of the youngest private car fleets in the world ) the pollution generated by getting all of your daily necessities shipped here, and the diesel powered logistics ie vans and trucks that deliver it all over Hong Kong.....this is where bulk of your HK produced airborne pollution stems from.

    the very heavy consumption lifestyle of the average Hong Konger is what pollutes this city. The worlds largest food waster per capita, its insane energy waste via light pollution, its over air conditioned retail space and one of the highest concentrations of C02 generating (exothermic) concrete as a non environmentally friendly building material on earth. ( per square mile ) A city with no demonstrated clue about sustainability or environmentally friendly town planning....

    Lets be realistic, Hong Kong will never have the ability to clean its act up, like Tokyo has, because unfortunately, Hong Kongers aren't, Japanese .

    If reducing pollution and being environmentally responsible was profitable, Hong Kong would be the cleanest city on earth .

    OMG. Are we still in primary school? These cliques of people banding against certain posters is so juvenile. If you don't have anything worthwhile to contribute to a thread, show some restraint and move on.

    And what's your contribution?

    Can't follow your own advice?
