Dear Greenpeace Members:
The curtain has finally fallen on the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. This great international sporting event prompted both praise and criticism. While there were those that raved about China’s sweep of the gold medals and impeccable professionalism as a host, others found fault with the country’s political record. But as an environmental organisation we need to take a step back and assess the Games from an independent standpoint. Exactly how well did China do at hosting a “Green Olympics”?
Just before the Games started, we released our report: “China after the Olympics: Lessons from Beijing” in which we welcomed Beijing’s moves towards improving the city’s environment as it prepared to host the Olympics. But we also made some constructive criticisms such as pointing out missed opportunities in citywide waste management and water conservation. Most importantly, we urged the government to extend those successful environmental policies implemented because of the Games to other major cities across the nation. We also challenged the International Olympics Committee to make it a requirement that all future host cities implement green measures for the Games.
Our report elicited a huge media response from both domestic and overseas journalists. The Beijing Olympic Organising Committee and the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) were both very positive in their responses. The MEP has also agreed to adopt
some of our recommendations including the possibility that they will start monitoring two extra air pollutants – PM2.5 and ozone.
China is a developing county and has to contend with the problems associated with rapid economic growth, a massive population, and a widespread lack of experience in regional environmental governance. These are daunting challenges. Some of the long-term improvements in Beijing’s environment, such as the upgrade in industrial technology, the expansion of its public transport network, the setting of new vehicle exhaust emission standards to the world’s most stringent and the introduction of renewable energy clearly demonstrate Beijing’s determination to pursue sustainable development and set a good example to other cities.
The Beijing Olympics represent a 100-year dream for the Chinese people. Winning the most gold medals is a glorious achievement and the Games has showcased a modern and successful city to the world. But we should not lose this great opportunity to build upon Beijing’s Olympic environmental successes so that China becomes a country that has clean water, clear air and a beautiful nature for future generations to enjoy. I truly hope that this year’s Olympic Games will become a launching pad to creating a greener future for China.

新鮮空氣與藍天，似乎已成為香港人的傳說，因空氣污染而引致的公共健康
問題，每年得花上政府約 11 億公帑解決，政府卻依舊沿用一個 21 年來從沒有
檢討過《空氣質素指標》量度我們的空氣質素。因此一個真實的標準，絕對
是當務之急。項目經理陳宇輝分享了他的看法。([email protected])
香港的空氣質素一直為人詬病。當國際媒體都以香港惡劣的空氣污染問題作封面故事時，我們卻發覺環保署每年出版的
《空氣質素報告》中總是指香港的空氣質素每年達標率高達95% 以上。究竟是大家都誤解了香港的空氣污染狀況？還是環保署「講大話」？
出現這種「落差」，其實因為環保署一直在使用一個落後而過於寬鬆的指標所至。於 1987 年落實的《空氣質素指標》
（下稱《指標》），規管香港多種空氣污染物的濃度，政府所有和空氣污染有關的政策均以《指標》為依歸，當中包括與廣東省合作的減排協議、對電廠、交通運輸的規管等。
令人驚訝的是，相比起世界衛生組織於 2006 年推出的空氣標準，香港的《指標》異常寬鬆：香港所接受的可吸入懸浮粒子是世衛標準的 2.75 至 3.6 倍，二氧化氮是世衛標準 的1.5 至 2 倍，而二氧化硫更是世衛標準的 17.5 倍！此外，
《指標》現時亦沒有就對人體有嚴重危害的微細懸浮粒子 （PM2.5，指直徑小於 2.5 微米的粒子，能深入我們的肺部）
制定相關標準。
早前，我們透過直接行動在環保署位於中環的路邊空氣質 素監測站，向公眾揭示政府每日公佈的空氣污染指數嚴重脫節，最終成功迫使香港政府就「空氣質素指標」進行檢討。這項檢討將於 2008 年內完成，在此綠色和平再一次感謝您對我們的支持。
同時，我們 8 月開始於網站推出「空氣污染真相指數」，將香港各區的空氣污染物濃度與世衛標準作出比較，您可以下載指數至電腦桌面，或上載至 Blog 與網友分享；此外我們亦設計了《空氣清．新景點推介》，推介空氣清新的景點。
我們需要一個真正反映真相的指標，並以此為基準改善一系列有關空氣污染的政策，請繼續支持我們，並向朋友廣泛傳播空氣污染最新資訊。

香港立法會選舉期間，家中收到一疊疊候選人的宣傳單張，心想單單一個選
舉，不知又有幾多樹木被犧牲。再加上日常生活的免費報紙、雜誌，紙張消
耗也越來越多，難道文明，理應毀滅森林？
每2秒，就有一個
如標準足球場般大面積
的森林被砍伐。
全球被砍伐的樹木中，
至少有40%的木材
被加工製成不同種類的
紙漿及紙品。
香港沒有森林，只有「石屎森林」，現在郊野大部份的樹林都是在二次大戰後，前人努力種植而成的「次森林」，原始森林
自然是遙不可及，也看似跟香港人沒有什麼關係。這個夏天，當我們都感到熱不可耐之際，實實在在的體驗氣候變化的來臨
時，但大家又是否知道，原來砍伐森林所釋放出二氧化碳量是繼使用石化燃料後第二大的排放來源？
由破壞森林所造成的二氧化碳佔全球總排放量 10-25%，已經超越各地交通系統所造成的排放量。全球森林儲藏著超過 4 千億
噸的碳，這個數字大於未來 45 年人類燃燒化石燃料和生產水泥所造成碳排放量的總和。若大量森林被破壞，它們釋放出來的
碳將嚴重地加劇全球氣候變化。所以，拯救森林，也就是拯救氣候。
香港人均紙張消耗已是全球最高之一，甚至超過美國。在 2007 年，香港的用紙量高達100萬噸，超過28萬噸用作印刷書刊。
以一噸紙需要砍掉 20 棵樹來看，需要種植二千萬棵樹才可彌補去年用紙量對環境的損害。而香港人的人均耗紙量高達147.8
公斤，遠高於全球人均耗紙量近 3 倍！面對日益消失的原始森林，我們需要做的還有很多。
雖說「無林不成紙，無紙不成書」，但實際上圖書出版或生活用紙也可以做到不破壞森林的。過去 8 年，綠色和平透過政策
推動、業界研討會、企業遊說、參與各地的書展和圖書館博覽會等工作，促使在美加至歐洲 9 個國家，共 600 萬本圖書以用
後廢料的再造紙印刷，同時令市場新開發了 64 種不同種類的生態友好紙張、更有十多間跨國出版社承諾逐步轉用「森林友好
型紙張」。
此外，更有成百上千的著名作家如羅琳（J.K. Rowling）、1998 年諾貝爾文學獎獲得者若澤．薩拉馬戈（Jose Saramago）、
文學家伊莎貝爾．阿連德（Isabel Allende）等等均紛紛回應支持綠化圖書出版業。而最廣為人津津樂道，莫過於《哈利波特》
的魔法成果。自 2003 年起，《哈利波特 5 》在加拿大採用 100% 再造紙印刷，在羅琳的支持下，《哈利波特 7 》在全球 23 個
國家均採用對再造紙或通過森林管理委員會（FSC）認證的紙張印刷，它更被喻為史上最「綠」的圖書。

今個夏天，我們透過參與三地的書展及圖書博覽會，向公眾及業界發出支持綠色出版的呼
籲。項目啟動至今，中港兩地已經有 25 位作家及單位作出支持。
第 1 站「香港書展」
在香港貿易發展局的協助下，綠色和平首次以參展單位的身份出席書展活動。在書展第 2 天
的《愛書人 愛森林》主題日，環境局副局長潘潔博士、香港貿易發展局總裁葉澤恩先生、
歐陽應霽先生、花千樹出版有限公司總編輯葉海旋先生及三十會代表均出席了開幕典禮。在
《愛書人 愛森林》在分享會上，曾出版多部學術著作的潘潔博士更表示：「最近十數年，我
都耗用了很多紙張來寫書寫文，家中由客廳到睡房都放置了很多書。我認為愛書不一定與環
境保護對立。隨著技術提高，再造紙的選擇增多，用再造紙印刷的意識將會大大提高。」
如何辨識真正的環保書、環保紙？綠色和平呼籲業界逐步轉用的「森林友好型」紙張，包括再造紙及通過森林管理委員會（FSC）認證的紙張印刷圖書。它們，究竟有什麼分別呢？
英國作家協會主席 Graham Lester George：
「如果我們再不行動，我們的後代將只能從書籍上看到森林的圖片。
最大的諷刺在於，正是這些書籍的出版招致了森林的消失。」
作為一群愛寫作及愛閱讀的年青人，「三十會」成員在思考社會問題的同時，亦曾反問自己一個問題：究竟我們需要多一棵樹、抑或需要多一本書呢？「三十會」很高興能夠參與綠色和平發起的《愛書人 愛森林》運動，令到我們可以兩者兼得。
Be an environmentally friendly writer, reader and publisher
文明不是靜止的概念，而是不斷演化的。昔日印刷術的發明，造就了大量書本和知識傳播，卻犧牲了生態系統的大片樹林。到了今天，為了維繫文明的繼續發展，舊式書本已到了演化、使用再造紙的時候了。這趨勢是不可逆轉的，正如我們怎 能返回前印刷術時代?”

今個夏天，我們透過參與三地的書展及圖書博覽會，向公眾及業界發出支持綠色出版的呼
籲。項目啟動至今，中港兩地已經有 25 位作家及單位作出支持。
第 1 站「香港書展」
在香港貿易發展局的協助下，綠色和平首次以參展單位的身份出席書展活動。在書展第 2 天
的《愛書人 愛森林》主題日，環境局副局長潘潔博士、香港貿易發展局總裁葉澤恩先生、
歐陽應霽先生、花千樹出版有限公司總編輯葉海旋先生及三十會代表均出席了開幕典禮。在
《愛書人 愛森林》在分享會上，曾出版多部學術著作的潘潔博士更表示：「最近十數年，我
都耗用了很多紙張來寫書寫文，家中由客廳到睡房都放置了很多書。我認為愛書不一定與環
境保護對立。隨著技術提高，再造紙的選擇增多，用再造紙印刷的意識將會大大提高。」
如何辨識真正的環保書、環保紙？綠色和平呼籲業界逐步轉用的「森林友好型」紙張，包括再造紙及通過森林管理委員會（FSC）認證的紙張印刷圖書。它們，究竟有什麼分別呢？
英國作家協會主席 Graham Lester George：
「如果我們再不行動，我們的後代將只能從書籍上看到森林的圖片。
最大的諷刺在於，正是這些書籍的出版招致了森林的消失。」
作為一群愛寫作及愛閱讀的年青人，「三十會」成員在思考社會問題的同時，亦曾反問自己一個問題：究竟我們需要多一棵樹、抑或需要多一本書呢？「三十會」很高興能夠參與綠色和平發起的《愛書人 愛森林》運動，令到我們可以兩者兼得。
Be an environmentally friendly writer, reader and publisher
文明不是靜止的概念，而是不斷演化的。昔日印刷術的發明，造就了大量書本和知識傳播，卻犧牲了生態系統的大片樹林。到了今天，為了維繫文明的繼續發展，舊式書本已到了演化、使用再造紙的時候了。這趨勢是不可逆轉的，正如我們怎 能返回前印刷術時代?”
用好紙張配好筆墨 愛護地球救地球
不出版連一本也賣不出的書，不為自我宣傳而送書給別人。”

綠色和平─ 回應小孩子的希望
我們均希望下一代能在一個清潔的環境下健康成長，因此中國必須減少對煤炭的依賴，提高能源使用效率和發展可再生能源。
■ 我們已於 6、7月走訪了北京周邊和內蒙的產煤區，並於 8、9 月間繼續走訪山西、內蒙等地，瞭解當地的污染破壞狀況，獲得第一手資料。
■ 我們於10月 27日聯同多間機構及研究所發表「煤炭的真實成本」報告，以反映煤炭生產及使用過程中巨大的真正成本和危害，並提出政策 建議，讓中國走出對煤炭的依賴。我們會將報告與政府有關部門溝通，以討論可再生能源的開發和使用問題。
只有減少對煤炭的依賴，大力發展風能和太陽能等可再生能源，才能在滿足能源需求的同時減緩氣候變化和減少環境污染，請繼續支持我們，為孩子創造出綠色、健康的未來。

相信有不少綠色和平的支持者都已為人父母，現在，我們都享受著美好的環境，可是，我們願意為孩子的未來做些什麼嗎？
煤炭是中國目前空氣污染和溫室氣體的最主要來源，中國的能源有 70% 左右來自 煤炭，遠高於 40% 的世界平均水準。每年因大量使用煤炭所排放的各種有害物質和污染物，令孩子每天猶如置身「有毒物樂園」。
小孩子又怎樣看他們的未來？我們早前在北京邀請了 71 名小孩子共同創作了題為「煤的陰影」和「讓孩子的未來更清潔」兩幅圖畫。讓小孩子親手描繪出充滿污染的煤炭世界；以及滿懷希望的清潔未來。
氣候變化，關及糧食安全？氣候變化所帶來的影響，又豈止一個「熱」字？連帶的極端天氣，除了影響物種的生存，更威脅我們的糧食。
全球已經有 33 個國家因為糧食危機而產生動盪，我們需要立即行動，減少溫室氣體排放，開展生態農業，以保障中國的糧食安全。
2008年世界糧食日（10月15日）的主題是「世界糧食安全：氣候變化和生物能源的挑戰」。我們發佈了名為《氣候變化與中國糧食安全》
的報告，指出氣候變化主要通過溫度、水資源、極端天氣、土壤、病蟲害等因素影響農業生產。若不及時採取行動，受氣候變化影響，
中國滿足自己糧食需求的能力將在 20 年後無法得到保證。報告同時指出，生態農業可以有效減少溫室氣體的排放，也能因地制宜，
更好地應對氣候變化帶來的威脅。
要保障糧食安全，我們鼓勵中國大力發展生態農業，並積極減少溫室氣體排放。這樣才能有效地減少氣候變化為中國帶來的影響。

拒絕成為電子垃圾中轉站多謝你的支持，綠色和平於 6 月收集到 4,500 個簽名，要求香港政府退回美國一個裝有廢舊電路板的電子垃圾貨櫃。可是，香港政府卻在未有第三方的情況下進行檢查，並倉卒放行可能裝有有毒電子垃圾的貨櫃。因此，我們已把香港環保署的決定匯報予國家環保部，促請相關部門跟進事件。
根據《巴塞爾公約》，廢舊電路板屬有害廢物、需受到管制，而中國政府亦已明文規定禁止廢舊電路板進口，惟香港的法例卻未有管制。由於香港現行的《廢物處置條例》佈滿漏洞，綠色和平要求香港政府儘快根據《巴塞爾公約》修改法例堵塞漏洞，杜絕有毒電子垃圾、包括廢舊電子零件如電路板的貿易。以防止更多電子垃圾被偷運至中國內地，毒害內地的環境和居民。

綠色奧運北京奧運會，是中國最好的機會去推動北京的環保工作。綠色和平於 7 月底發佈《超越北京，超越
2008——北京奧運會環境評估報告》，以獨立評估 2008 年北京奧運會的環保工作。
我們認為，北京部份改善環境和基礎設施的長期措施，如取暖方式由煤改電、採納世界最嚴格汽車廢氣
排放標準、增加太陽能與風能等可再生能源的應用等，都代表了北京邁向可持續發展的決心。可是評估
報告亦指出，北京錯失了一些可以加速改善環境的機會。譬如：
■ 北京繼續增設垃圾堆填區和焚化爐來處理垃圾，而未有利用奧運會契機推動「零垃圾」政策；
■ 工廠搬遷和陳舊設備升級等措施，仍與推行全面清潔生產距離甚遠；
■ 限制汽車行走並非解決城市交通和空氣污染問題的根本方案；
■ 奧組委推出了鼓勵環保的政策和技術的指導性文件，但由於並非強制政策，實施效果因而打了折扣。
為了能夠讓「藍天」得以繼續，相應的長期環境措施是必需的。對此，北京市環保局正廣泛接受市民建
議。綠色和平亦舉行「北京藍天，喊出來」活動，將大家的呼聲提交給北京市環保局。
更綠的ipod終於面世！自 2006 年起，綠色和平建立綠蘋果行動網站，號召蘋果電腦的消費者們一同呼籲蘋果電腦無毒化。2年後，我們終於得到好消息！
9 月底，蘋果公司總裁宣佈最近生產的iPod產品，iPod Touch、iPod Nano和iPod Classic等將淘汰多種有毒化學物質。讓蘋果在最新推出的綠色電子產品排行榜上排名有所提升。希望在不久的將來，我們更能見到 iPhone 和 Mac 也能走上更綠的道路。

在巴布亞新畿內亞的天堂雨林，9 成的木材都屬於非法採伐，而每10 根從熱帶雨林出口的原木，就有 5 根被運往中國。
我，易蘭，綠色和平項目主任，於 8 月跟隨「希望號」前往巴布亞新畿內亞，努力與不同國家的同事及志願者，一起揭露及阻止這裏的森林破壞，保護美麗的天堂雨林。
森林破壞已導致全球每年約 2 成的溫室氣體排放。而在巴布亞新畿內亞的天堂雨林，破壞情況更已經失
控。 我今次出發，除了與當地的學生於「希望號」上作出交流外，同時亦參與行動，跟其他行動成員
截停了一艘運載非法砍伐木材的「星港（Harbour Gemini）」號貨船。我們發現這批木材是賣給一家香
港註冊公司，並運到中國進行加工。「希望號」上的綠色和平成員爬到貨船的起重機，懸掛一條寫著
『拯救森林，保護氣候』的巨大橫額，阻止了非法木材繼續運到貨船上。
雖然好消息經已出現，印尼蘇門答臘島的廖內省政府於日前宣布實施「臨時禁伐令」，避免數十億噸
二氧化碳釋放到大氣中，有效期至全國性禁伐令表決通過為止，但這只是成功的第一步。
我們需要你繼續的支持，推動『永久禁伐令』，保護森林，同時保護氣候！

港註冊公司，並運到中國進行加工。「希望號」上的綠色和平成員爬到貨船的起重機，懸掛一條寫著
『拯救森林，保護氣候』的巨大橫額，阻止了非法木材繼續運到貨船上。
雖然好消息經已出現，印尼蘇門答臘島的廖內省政府於日前宣布實施「臨時禁伐令」，避免數十億噸
二氧化碳釋放到大氣中，有效期至全國性禁伐令表決通過為止，但這只是成功的第一步。
我們需要你繼續的支持，推動『永久禁伐令』，保護森林，同時保護氣候！

love forestsLove books,If you love a good read you might be saddened to know that the books on your shelves may have played a part in the destruction of the world’s forests.
If we don’t act now, the terrible irony is that our great grandchildren will only know of our ancient forests through pictures in books printed on the paper that contributed to their destruction.”Graham Lester George, Chair, Writers Guild of Great Britain
Book fairs: Greenpeace does Hong Kong, Shanghai and TianjinThis year our “Booklovers for Forests” action took the Books Campaign to Hong Kong and Mainland China. We set up our stall promoting AFF paper at book fairs in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tianjin. We met with a lot of encouraging support from publishers, authors and readers.
So far at least 25 Hong Kong and mainland Chinese writers have signed up and China’s very first book printed on 100 percent recycled paper has been published with Greenpeace’s help. The Chinese translation of Chilean author Barrios Enrique’s “Ami, Child of the Stars" came out this summer and sold more than 30,000 copies in the first two weeks. Scores of publishers signed up at our stalls at the book fairs, promising to look into switching to AFF paper.
We will continue to lobby the publishing industry to stop supporting the destruction of forests and thus the exacerbation of climate change. We are looking forward to even more commitment from publishers, authors, and book lovers next year. We don’t need to sacrifice our precious forests to enjoy a good book!
What you can do■ Choose books that are printed on AFF paper;■ Write to your favourite author asking him or her to switch to
AFF paper;■ Tell all the booklovers you know to support AFF paper.

How to recognise AFF paper?
Recycled
FSC
Recyclable
Tree free
If there is no percentage figure added then this symbol means the product is made from 100% recycled paper.
Paper produced with virgin fibre originating from forests certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
Avoid the “recyclable” trap – almost all paper can be recycled – so even if a brand is “100 percent recyclable” it may not be made from recycled fibre
Paper made from non-wood sources (eg agricultural residue, cotton, hemp, and flax)
What Greenpeace is doing about itSince 2000, Greenpeace has been calling on publishers and authors to switch to Ancient Forest Friendly (AFF) paper.
AFF paper is paper that is either recycled or made from wood pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Since the start of that campaign, worldwide more than six million books have been printed on recycled paper. More than 10 major publishers, including Pearson (Penguin) and Random House (Canada, UK and the US) have pledged to gradually switch to using AFF paper. Also hundreds of authors around the world have supported our Books Campaign, including Harry Potter creator JK Rowling, German author Isabel Allende, and Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago.
Our appetite for paperAbout 40 percent of the timber logged globally goes into paper production. China is the world’s second-largest paper producer and consumer, according to 2006 statistics. Hong Kong is close behind, with the average paper consumption per capita three times the global average. Each year, every Hong Kong resident uses on average about 150 kg of paper compared with the global average of 50 kg per capita.
Hong Kong used about one million tons of paper last year. About 280,000 tons of that went on making books and periodicals. For each ton of paper we need to cut down 20 trees.
Our appetite for paper, one of China’s four great inventions, is destroying our ancient forests. As the jungle is pulped into books, magazines and packaging we are pumping up the production of greenhouse gas and driving endangered species into extinction.
Why forests are importantThe forests are home to two thirds of the world’s plants and animals including many endangered species such as gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. The forests also shelter millions of indigenous people whose lives and culture depend on their survival.
Forests influence weather by controlling rainfall and evaporation of water from the soil. They also help stabilise the climate by storing large amounts of carbon that would otherwise contribute to climate change.
Forests are vitally important in regulating the earth’s climate. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s newest report, greenhouse gas emissions from forest destruction and deforestation account for approximately 20 percent of the total global amount. This is second only to the burning of fossil fuels and more than the total yearly emissions from all the world's planes, trucks and cars.

The Real Air Pollution IndexWhen the government’s Environmental Protection Department reports Hong Kong air quality – namely its Air Pollution Index – it’s using an outdated standard that hasn’t been revised for more than 20 years. Critics say it sets the benchmark too low and so gives a false sense of security. More importantly, it’s not in line with current World Health Organisation guidelines, which are much stricter.
From the table you can see that for all the air pollutants, listed Hong Kong guidelines are much weaker than WHO’s. In the case of sulphur dioxide, it is over 17 times weaker!
These four air pollutants are linked with a range of respiratory diseases from asthma and breathing difficulties to lung cancer.
Greenpeace wants the government to implement an updated and honest air monitoring system so we can learn the truth about the air we breathe.
In September we launched our “Real Air Pollution Index.” Every hour we take air pollution levels from government air quality monitoring stations around Hong Kong and check them against WHO standards. Join our Air Quality Patrol: download our Real Air Quality Index and spread the word by posting it to your blog or web site or emailing to your friends.
After Greenpeace challenged the government, Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau said they would come up with preliminary plans on how to review the way they calculate the Air Pollution Index. The government is accepting public views on this until October 31. Join Greenpeace in demanding the government come clean about our air quality and to start using WHO guidelines.
Join our campaign to help us bring clean air to Hong Kong. www.greenpeace.org/china/en/
Fresh air and blue skies: the stuff of legend for Hong Kong residents. For years now, belching power stations and bumper-to-bumper traffic have clogged our air with strangling smog and triggered breathing complications. It is estimated public health problems from air pollution are costing Hong Kong at least HK$11 billion annually. And the government doesn’t even use an honest system of gauging whether our air is polluted or not.
The lies in numbers
Particulates 180 (0ver 24 hours) 50 (0ver 24 hours)
Ozone 240 (over one hour) 100 (over eight hours)
Nitrogen dioxide 200 (over one hour) 300 (in one hour)
Sulphur dioxide 350 (over 24 hours) 20 (over 24 hours)*Both Hong Kong's and the WHO's guidelines are targets on outdoor air pollution concentrations. They are not considered absolute safe levels but they are considered to significantly reduce health risks.

Coal: a real dirty fuelThe Rainbow Warrior has been busy carrying our message, “Quit Coal, Lead the Energy [R]evolution,” across Asia. In July the ship landed in Thailand for 21 days of action when our campaigners petitioned the Thai Ministry of Energy to reject the expansion of coal power stations and staged a banner protest outside a Belgian-owned coal power plant.
Meanwhile, in China, Greenpeace and 71 primary school students highlighted the dangers of burning coal on child health with a painting day at the China Science and Technology Museum in June. The children, from Beijing Fangcaodi Primary School, created two huge paintings and speeches were given by health experts.
We are also in the middle of an investigation into the dangers of coal from its mining to its processing to its burning. To bolster our policy advisory role, we have commissioned a report on “The True Cost of Coal,” with the World Wildlife Fund and The Energy Foundation. The report is due out in late October.
Coal is the dirtiest, most carbon intensive of all fossil fuels and accounts for roughly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Burning coal also releases massive amounts of toxic substances such as mercury and arsenic which have deadly impacts on human health. We don’t need coal: we need an Energy Revolution.
Hong Kong’s toxic tradeGreenpeace activists in June successfully stopped containers of illegal electronic waste from being offloaded into Hong Kong. The toxic cargo came from the US and was bound for China’s Sanshui district.
When impoverished workers sift through these poisonous mountains of e-waste looking for parts to sell they are exposed to hazardous chemicals. This dangerous cocktail not only threatens human health, it also pollutes the water, soil and air. Hong Kong must stop turning a blind eye to this illegal and toxic trade.

Cheers to GE Free Beer!Anheuser-Busch has confirmed that all beer sold under its Budweiser and Harbin labels are GE Free!
This good news came hot on the heels of Wellcome, the Hong Kong supermarket chain, promising to eradicate all GE ingredients in its home brands: “No Frills” and “First Choice.” It’s another great victory thanks to your strong support and comes only after we challenged the company on its genetically-engineered food policy for more than three years.

Japan’s dirty whale tradeJapan is prosecuting two brave Greenpeace activists after they unearthed the dirty truth behind the country’s whale trade.
Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki were slammed in jail for 26 days after they showed how whale ship crew members regularly thieve prime cuts of whale meat and sell it for a personal profit of up to US$3,000 a go. Just weeks after they delivered one of these boxes of stolen whale meat to the Public Prosecutor in Tokyo as evidence, police dropped investigations into the stolen meat and arrested Junichi and Toru instead!
With your support – more than 250,000 of you sent letters to Japan’s prime minister to protest their treatment – and lobbying by human rights groups including Amnesty International – the two have now been released on bail but face charges of trespass and theft.

A greener shade of Olympics?The Olympic Games was China’s big chance to clean and green Beijing. Seven years and more than US$17.6 billion later, how well did they do?
Just weeks before the Games started we released our “China after the Olympics: Lessons from Beijing,” report which concluded that the country had done much to clean up the capital’s famous smoggy skies but could have done better in several areas including water conservation, waste management and transparency of environmental practices.
The government won a gold medal for using state-of-the-art renewable energy-saving technologies in the Olympic Village, tightening up new vehicle emissions, expanding the subway network and weaning residents off coal heating. However it did not do so well in making sure construction timber was forest friendly and expanding its water saving technologies to new buildings outside of the Olympic venues.
More importantly, Greenpeace hopes China will spread Beijing’s new green practices to all cities across the Mainland.

#1 Poisoning the poor in GhanaIn August, Greenpeace discovered Europe and South Korea was illegally exporting toxic electronic waste to Ghana that was causing horrendous pollution. Our teams tested samples from the trash and found it contained hazardous chemicals. Many samples contained toxic metals including lead and chemicals linked to cancer and fertility problems.
The e-waste is often made up of broken computers and TVs from brands such as Philips, Canon, Dell, Microsoft, Nokia, Siemens and Sony. They travel in containers falsely labeled as “second-hand goods,” allowing the exporters to bypass laws prohibiting trade in e-waste.

#3 Victory for the AmazonGreat news for the Amazon Rainforest: in June Brazil agreed to extend a two-year moratorium on the trade in soya beans grown on newly deforested land for another year. Soya bean traders had originally agreed to the ban in 2006 after Greenpeace demonstrated that the forest was being destroyed by soya farmers expanding their plantations.
Research shows the ban is working: soya harvested this year in the Brazilian Amazon has not come from newly deforested areas. We’re not out of the woods yet, but this decision should be celebrated and built upon to protect all ancient forests for the future. Not only do ancient forests protect plants, animals and indigenous peoples but they also stabilise the world’s climate.

Climate change threatens food securityClimate change doesn’t just mean a “warmer” world, it also means a “hungrier” world.
Greenpeace’s new report, “Climate Change and Food Security in China,” launched on October 15, the eve of World Food Day 2008, warns that climate change is threatening China’s food security.
The report, which includes research from top scientists from the China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, predicts that because of China’s unique geography – its sheer size and terrain – several factors
including the key one of climate change, may squeeze China’s food production ability so that by the year 2050 the country can only grow about 3/4 of what it produced in 2000.
For the sake of food security, we are urging China to promote ecological farming – a method that is much better able to cope with the changes wrought by climate change and one that produces far less greenhouse gases than chemical intensive agriculture.

#2 Paradise lostGreenpeace activists prevented a ship owned by Malaysian logger Rimbunan Hijau from offloading rainforest timber from the Paradise Forests in Papua New Guinea in September.
Forest destruction accounts for around 20 percent of the world’s global greenhouse gas emissions every year. Logging in Papua New Guinea’s rainforests is out of control.
Greenpeace ship, the Esperanza, is currently on its tour of the Paradise Forests on a “Forests for Climate” campaign, spreading the message that deforestation is exacerbating climate change. Greenpeace China’s forest campaigner, Yilan, is also on board.
But there is good news for one area of the Paradise Forests! In August, the Indonesian province of Riau announced an interim ban on forest clearing. Riau, one of the areas currently worst affected by rapid deforestation, will keep the ban until a national law is agreed. Greenpeace will continue to push for Indonesia to enforce a nationwide ban on deforestation.

But there is good news for one area of the Paradise Forests! In August, the Indonesian province of Riau announced an interim ban on forest clearing. Riau, one of the areas currently worst affected by rapid deforestation, will keep the ban until a national law is agreed. Greenpeace will continue to push for Indonesia to enforce a nationwide ban on deforestation.
