對抗氣候變化影響

昆明市東川區大田壩小學4月21日,我們為這所有147名小學生、7 名老師的學校安裝了一套太陽能設備,不僅可以為學校解決抽水的問題,同時儲存的電量也可以用於 7間教室內的風扇用電和照明,僅此一項就可以為小學每月節省100多元。

會澤縣紙廠鄉江邊村4 月19 日,綠色和平為會澤縣紙廠鄉江邊村安裝了兩套太陽能水泵,幫助這個近 1,500人的村子從附近的江裡提水灌溉菜地。相片中的是我們的工作人員明清以及太陽能工程師在忙著安裝的情況。

旱災席捲中國南部造成電力短缺,

綠色和平決定尋找方法,幫助雲南

的受害者。他們當時最急需水源

作日常灌溉及飲用,以維持他們的

生計。

旱災跟氣候變化息息相關。氣候變

化正帶來更多的旱災問題。而解決

方法就在眼前──清潔的能源。

清潔能源,也可以救災?可以。以下你可以見證,我們通過

向當地捐出太陽能水泵,以零排放

的方法改善旱災問題。

而我們得以行動迅速,用清潔能源 幫助解決當地村民的需要,完全是有賴你們定期的捐助!我們希望這些工作,不單有助改善他們的實際需要,更令公眾了解,清潔能源,才能給予我們清潔的未來!

減緩氣候變化的方法十分多,以清潔能源代替傳統的煤炭發電是其一。另一個

重要的一環是每個人都更明智地使用能源。

綠色和平今年有更多新念頭,改善能源使用,包括:

1. 要求私人屋苑展開碳審計2. 要求政府交出實質的減排指標

為什麼要進行樓宇碳審計?香港有 89% 的電力用於建築物之上,造成全港超過一半的二氧化碳排放。但事

實上香港的私人住宅,很多都沒有盡慳電的責任。

政府為了鼓勵發展商更「環保」,法例容許發展商豁免部份樓面面積,作為鼓

勵興建「環保和完善生活設施」之用。包括發展商近年大力推銷的會所設施,

以及其他設施如升降機大堂,走廊,露台等都是在豁免之列,當中約有

13%-17% 的私人住宅面積均是獲豁免的面積。但政府卻沒有政策或者法例監管

其環保成效,而以上設施的電費,最終亦必然轉嫁至你每月的管理費上。

認清屋苑真面目:碳審計

「碳審計」就好比一個屋苑的身體檢查,全面了解屋苑內的耗

電,以及其他二氧化碳排放,發掘當中有效減排的方法。

可惜,現時環境局所推行的「碳審計」只屬自願性計劃,現時

就連香港政府亦未有全面為政府樓宇進行碳審計。

所以,我們認為政府應強制推行碳審計,令香港每一幢樓宇都

為減排踏出第一步,同時亦可以為業主省下無謂的電費。

專題故事

香港有減排指標嗎?「C40 城市氣候工作坊」,將會年底於香港舉辦。世界頂尖的科學家、學者與全球主要城市的市長將到臨香港,

討論城市如何通過「綠色建築」與「綠色交通」,轉型為低碳城市。

那麼今次 C40 的舉辦城市──香港,到底在應對氣候變化上做了些什麼呢?我們有什麼可以跟人分享呢?

1. 坐北向南建築物由設計開始已經可以為慳電

而努力,傳統智慧固然重要,減少

太陽直接照射,以免室內溫度提升

而加大冷氣的負荷。向東或向西的

單位難免會有「照通屋」的情況出

現,室內溫度一定會提高。

建築物既然佔接近全港 9 成用電,

到底你居住的建築物又是否夠慳電

呢?立即check清楚怎麼才算至慳

建築物。

至慳建築物

5大條件

5. 備有遮陽設施怕曬的女士夏天可以選擇戴太陽帽,其實

大廈亦可以加設遮陽設施,阻擋過多的陽

光照射至單位內,就像為單位加設太陽帽

一樣。60 年代的樓宇更主動在大廈外牆

加設遮陽設計,美利大廈就是當中的示範

作。可惜,今時今日你我所住的屋苑都甚

少有如此環保的設計。

4. 減少停車場絕大部份新樓盤都附設停車場,但停車場

的額外耗電亦同步附加在住戶身上。如果

屋苑設有地下停車場,廿四小時通風及照

明系統所需的電力絕對不容忽視。

3. 隔熱建築物料炎炎夏日,置身於一個鐵皮箱之內,有

幾熱可想而知。其實住宅亦都不過是一

個比較大的箱,建築物料越有效隔熱,

室內的氣溫就越低。你只要在夏天摸一

摸玻璃窗,玻璃越熱就代表隔熱功能越

低,代表你要開更多冷氣。目前新加坡

已有法例管制住宅外牆的隔熱能力,但

香港尚未有此例。

2. 單位通風風生水起不單是風水學的智慧,

更加是現代樓宇節能的重要一

環。假如你所住的單位有窗戶是

處於相對的位置,形成對流窗,

就自然有助室內降溫,電費自然

慳得更多。

1. 強制私人屋苑碳審計要推動私人屋苑進行減排,首先需要

讓市民了解屋苑的碳排放如何。我們

下一步將會要求屋苑管理公司公開

耗電及碳排放量,從而作出比較及排

名,反映住宅對氣候變化的責任。

3. 強制新發展項目進行「微氣候模擬研究」所謂「微氣候研究」,就是在設計階段因應樓

宇的自然日光、對流通風、氣流,以及熱力和

污染物消散的情況進行模擬,務求降低建築物

耗電量及提升屋苑外的環境質素。現時公營房

屋已為所有新樓宇設計進行此項研究。

2. 要求新發展項目之耗電水平較市場平均為低建築物的使用週期長達數十年,若

然香港長遠要走向低碳發展,必須

令新發展項目較舊有樓宇更低碳排

放,方可令香港整體排放量下降。

解決方案:低碳住宅

能源強度由於跟本地生產總值(GDP)掛勾,能源強度會按GDP升幅而減少,舉例來說,2005年香港能源強度較1995年下跌13%,但同期本港整體二氧化碳排放量增加 7.4%,顯示能源強度下跌不等於減少排放。

雖然哥本哈根會議可算以失敗作結,可幸眾多國

家與城市紛紛宣佈其減排指標與政策;其中中央

政府承諾於 2020 年前,將碳強度在 2005 年的基

礎上減少40%-45%。另外,其他城市如東京、首

爾、悉尼等,亦已制定明確減排指標。

你自然會問, 香港的減排目標又怎樣?

能源強度 = 減排

特區政府一直以「能源強度」作為減排指標,(即

2030年將能源強度自2005年降低最少25%),但

事實上,減少「能源強度」並不等於減少排放。

我們曾經研究,香港只要維持現狀,本港到2030

年的能源強度「自然減幅」達到 57%,但政府減

排目標竟不及「自然減幅」,可見特區政府並

無決心作出減排承諾。

環境局進行的「氣候變化顧問研究」,不經不

覺已進行了兩年多,卻依然沒有向外承諾減排

指標與政策。

這不是香港市民需要的「綠色生活」。

為了迎接「C40」,特首必須交出實質的減排指

標與政策承諾。綠色和平認為,香港作為全中

國以至全球最發達的地區之一,必須承擔起發

達地區應有的減排責任,於 2020 年較 1990 年

減少溫室氣體排放總量 40%,或 2020 年將碳

強度較 2005 年減低 66%。

NEXT STEPS!我們將於 6 月底向大眾公佈第

一期的「私人屋苑公用設施碳排放

調查」,就九龍西區各私人屋苑碳

排放作出排名,從而作出比較,究

竟誰是屋苑碳排放之冠?請密

切留意我們的最新公佈。

紅猩猩是人類的近親。

實際上,紅猩猩(orangutan)一詞的英文

是由馬來西亞文而來,原文解作「森林中

的人」。紅猩猩屬於人猿類,與人類同樣

是非常聰明的動物。例如下雨時,紅猩猩

會以巨大的樹葉作雨傘。牠們喜與同伴作

伴,猩猩媽媽一般會陪伴紅猩猩成長,直

到牠們 7 歲為止。

紅猩猩只生活於全球兩個國家──印尼及

馬來西亞。現今估計全球僅餘 5 萬隻紅猩

猩!由於牠們只在樹上生活,所以大量砍

伐樹林是牠們生存的最大威脅。

我們又怎可以讓雀巢等公司因製作朱古力

而殺死紅猩猩呢?

在哪裡﹖

■ 東南亞美麗而茂盛的天堂雨林

(Paradise Forest)

■ 這裡包括印尼、巴布亞新畿內

亞及所羅門群島內的熱帶雨林、

紅樹林、海岸及沼澤森林

■ 這是世界上最受威脅的森林

■ 每年印尼約有200萬公頃(面積

約相等於英國威爾斯郡!)被

破壞

誰是破壞者﹖

■ 伐木公司:例如馬來西亞的

常青集團(Rimbunan Hijau)

■ 棕櫚油公司及買家:例如金

光集團(Sinar Mas)、豐益國

際(Wilmar)、嘉吉(Cargill)、

雀巢及聯合利華(Unilever)

■ 紙漿及造紙公司及買家:

例如亞洲漿紙業有限公司、

April、沃爾瑪、家樂福及

樂購(Tesco)

為什麼﹖

■ 林業開發公司需要砍伐森林以

生產廉價木製品向全球傾銷,

如傢俱及地板,(當中大量木

製品由中國製造)

■ 由於大量日用品如薯片、朱古

力、忌廉芝士、牛油、化妝品

及生物燃油都採用棕櫚油,

令全球對棕櫚油的需求不斷上

升。棕櫚油公司於是開墾森林

以建造棕櫚園

破壞

每年,全球約有700萬公頃的原始森林被破壞,相等於每分鐘就有20個足球場面積的森林消失!

近年全世界對棕櫚油(Palm Oil)的需求激增,棕櫚油生產公司大面積地砍伐熱帶雨林種植棕櫚

樹種植園。我們平日的日用品由朱古力以至面霜,均有可能含有棕櫚油!而這些破壞原始森林

的日用品當中,就包括「雀巢 KitKat」朱古力,我們積極行動,阻止他們向破壞森林的棕櫚油

公司購買棕櫚油!

為什麼要保護森林﹖

■ 天堂雨林內有大量的動植物,

包括瀕臨絕種的蘇門達臘虎及

紅猩猩

■ 森林亦是大量土著的居所

■ 森林好比地球的肺,為地球補

充氧氣及有穩定氣候的作用

■ 森林砍伐是氣候變化的最大元

兇,約 20% 的溫室氣體源自

森林砍伐,比全球所有汽車、

飛機及火車的總排放量還要多

我可以避免使用棕櫚油嗎?非常困難,因為大部分產品並不會註明含棕櫚油,僅宣稱是植物油。

我應該停止使用棕櫚油嗎?雖然有部分公司表明會停用棕櫚油,綠色和平相信並無必要這樣做。相反,綠色和平認為企業可繼續

使用可持續的棕櫚油,即並非從新開墾土地得來的棕櫚油。雀巢的問題出於間接向金光集團購買棕櫚

油,而金光集團正是不斷開墾大片印尼的森林以建造棕櫚園。

所有的消費品,由朱古力以至面霜

都含有棕櫚油。以下是一系列含

有棕櫚油的產品,都有可能曾出現

於你的購物車:

棕櫚油跟我有何關係?

專題故事

1. 確認破壞者我們選擇雀巢

雀巢仍然向金光集團(印尼森林的主要

破壞者)購買棕櫚油以提煉成植物油,

用於製造朱古力及薯片

2. 製成短影上載 Youtube我們將「請雀巢給森林喘息一刻」的

短片上載,讓公眾了解 Kitkat 如何引致

紅猩猩的死亡。

3. 靜候雀巢回應雀巢以侵權為理由向 Youtube 投訴,

要求刪除短片。我們鼓勵公眾以 blog

及社交網站將信息傳遞出去。

4. 將短片上載至另一視頻網站Vimeo,以進一步散播訊息於數個小時內已有超過 7 萬人次瀏覽

5. 讓公眾回應及行動消費者不斷於雀巢 facebook 的 fan

page 內留言。網頁負責人惡劣的態度

被傳統傳媒作出「雀巢社交網絡活動徹

底失敗」的報導!

6. 於網上購買雀巢及Kitkat的搜尋字眼任何人於網上搜尋雀巢及 Kitkat,均會

直接連結到我們的活動網頁

7. 追擊雀巢綠色和平成員裝扮成紅猩猩,於倫敦及

北京的雀巢總部及工廠門外示威

雀巢有甚麼回應呢?毫無疑問,雀巢對於連串的負面報導感到非

常尷尬。他們的公關回應是現正對棕櫚油供

應商進行調查,但他們「需要時間」。綠色

和平認為他們的回應並不足夠,聯合利華及

卡夫已經將金光集團從供應商名單中剔除,

為何雀巢還未作出同樣行動呢?讓我們繼續

向他們施壓。

我們於2008年向Dove香皂也曾作出過類似的活動,當時

我們是要反對 Dove 香皂的製造商聯合利華──全球最大

的棕櫚油買家。

我們透過影片、廣告、請願信及傳媒報導等對聯合利華作出行動,

短短兩星期後,我們的支持者發了無數反對電郵至聯合利華,令

他們最終同意停止向天堂雨林非法砍伐木材的棕櫚油供應商購入

棕櫚油。

我們訪問了國際綠色和平的網站編輯 Eoin Dubsky,了解一下當時

的情況:

1. 當你見到Dove活動展開,瀏覽短片的人數及公眾反應都相當熱烈時,你的感覺如何?Eoin:此短片是改編自Dove一個成功廣告的諷刺版本。我們的短

片導演更邀請了捷克一隊著名的搖滾樂隊作曲及填詞。

數以千計的公眾在活動首日於網站如Youtube及DailyMotion瀏覽

短片,數萬人更將反對電郵發至Dove的製造商聯合利華。一瞬間

反對聯合利華的聲音遍佈傳媒、網誌及討論區,評論其於棕櫚油

貿易中的角色、以及其對森林動植物和氣候的影響。我們見證活

動的即時成效,實在非常難忘及興奮!

2. 當聯合利華兩星期後宣佈:「ok!我們只會向合法開墾的棕櫚油供應商購買棕櫚油」時,你有何感覺?Eoin:我們對於這180度的轉變當然感到非常開心。但我們同時希

望活動可以延續長一點時間,加強更多人對氣候變化的認識。

3. 你認為此類型的網絡活動,最重要的原素是甚麼呢?Eoin:想想目標企業關注的是甚麼(如 Dove 需要的是得到公眾的

信任);想想怎樣利用他們的 logo 或廣告主題去宣揚我們的活動目

的;最後就是:行動!

環保項目工作

為保障食物安全及農業可持續發展,我們

除了在零售點保障消費者安全外,亦會從

根源著手,由播種的一刻開始,就要確保

糧食不受基因改造。

今年 4 月,我們在中國最重要的水稻種植

地區──湖南和湖北的種子市場發現了違

法出售的基因改造水稻種子,並隨即呼籲

當地政府展開調查,收回和銷毀在農民手

中和已在市場上的所有違法基因改造稻米

的種子;同時追查稻種的洩露源頭並追究

肇事者的法律責任。

這次的發現令人吃驚。農業部已不止一次

表明目前並未允許基因改造水稻的商業化

種植和生產,但違法的基因改造種子竟已

出售予農民,即將播種到土壤裡。

除了大米,其他米製成食品如我們常會

食用的米粉,亦同樣面對被基因改造的

問題。

到超市買蔬菜水果白米等食糧,是日常生活中最平常不

過的小環節,誰又會想到竟然是危機四伏 ── 消費者可

能不知不覺進食了農藥或不知名的基因成份。

但經過數月以來的遊說及公眾教育工作,我們已得到一

些內地的大型超市在食物安全方面作出一系列承諾。

一同了解我們的工作吧!

綠色和平走遍中國 8 個城市,經過多個月的抽樣檢驗工作,推出

《超市排行榜》,除了讓消費者在購買食物時要有所指引外,更重

要的是敦促超市盡企業的責任,保障消費者的健康。

放心行超市 2009《超市排行榜》有賴各會員響應我們的特別募捐呼籲,去年年底,綠色和平在中

國 8 個城市的 9 家大型連鎖超市19 個分店隨機抽驗了共 83 個樣

本(包括蔬菜、水果和食米),檢測當中是否含有基因改造成分

和農藥殘留。結果發現來自如沃爾瑪(Walmart)和伊藤洋華堂

(Ito-Yokado)等知名大型連鎖超市的食品樣本的問題尤其嚴重:

蔬果含有已禁止生產或使用的農藥混合殘留。同時,我們更發現

了非法基因改造大米和基因改造木瓜 。

為了進一步保障消費者的健康,我們製作了 2009 年中國《超市

排行榜》,選取了消費者常去的15 家大型連鎖超市,針對食品的

安全保障進行評分。評選標準包括超市在「逐步禁止農藥使用」

和「拒絕基因改造食品」兩方面的政策、產品追溯與控制措施、

以及資訊透明度三方面綜合設置。我們更製作了手機版,供消費

者免費下載,方便大家隨時隨地都可以安心購買食品。

現時已有數家超市,回應我們的要求,作出以下的承諾!

1. 歐尚超市: 已承諾確保不會在中國出售任何含基因改造的蔬果、穀類。同時亦會採取行動確保所有品種的蔬果及穀類,均逐步

禁用危害較大的幾類農藥。未來亦會建立產品追溯與控制系統,以及公眾公開供應商管理措施等相關資訊。

2. 家樂福超市: 家樂福是首家答應不售賣基因改造食物的超市。同時亦承諾對不同品種的蔬果及穀類逐步禁用農藥。

3. 華普超市: 對於新鮮食品,華普設有拒絕基因改造的政策,亦承諾禁用所有危害較大的幾類農藥。

4. 農工商: 承諾自家品牌的食米不含基因改造,同時開始計劃禁用某部分農藥。

超市請關注我們的健康

為基因改造大米商業化

畫上句號

寫下你對基因大米的意見!中國種植的蔬果大米,與身在香港的你

同樣息息相關。你隨時有機會吃下基因

改造的食米。若對中國基因改造稻米

及農藥殘留問題,有甚麼意見或看法,

歡迎隨時電郵我們

([email protected])

或到綠色和平的 Facebook fan page

寫下你的感想。

我們在 9 個地區城市包括香港,抽取了43

個大米樣品和 37 個米粉樣品進行基因改

造成份檢測。結果顯示 4 個省份的大米樣

品和米粉樣品,均含有基因改造成分,

當中某幾個品牌更有在香港出售。

綠色和平最終目標是要停止任何基因改造

水稻的商業化進程,由於基因改造成份已

經出現在種子、米和米製品等食品,政府

迫切需要展開全面的調查和監管。

社會對基因改造科技安全與否尚未有一致

共識,因此政府必須充分聽取包括農民和

消費者在內的13 億中國公眾的意見。

籌款項目工作

來自牛仔褲之城的水污染

Prudence 所說的「藍色」河流,並不只是個故事。右圖是 Google

Earth 上的一張衛星圖,很難想像,這樣觸目驚心的水污染景象離

我們並不遠,這裡是廣東省增城市新塘鎮,亦是牛仔褲製造業的

重鎮,由漂染以至縫製等工序都在這裡找到。問題是過程中污水

得不到正確的處理,衛星圖上的藍黑色,很有可能包含來自牛仔

褲染料及其它相關工業污水。

於「3.22 世界水日」,太古城中心有四隻巨型水杯出現,設計出自三位「杯中願」行動大使張敬軒、

林一峰及本地首飾品牌 Chocolate Rain 設計師 Prudence Mak 之手。他們分別以拍照及圖畫來表現他們眼中

的中國水污染情況,同時更集合了200 多位中港市民對中國水污染的感想及創新解決方法。

世界水日雖然已經完結,你仍然可以憑個人的力量,改變中國水污染問題。

三位「杯中願」行動大使希望藉著活動,用創作感染市民,瞭解中國工業水污染的

狀況,並捐出一杯喜愛飲品的價錢,支持綠色和平防治水污染工作。

感謝整個活動中超過 60 多家食肆響應「杯中願行動」,舉辦不同類型的籌款及義賣

活動,呼籲食客支持綠色和平的工作。同時活動亦獲多家企業及機構的員工支持,

發起捐款活動,所有取得的款項,均會直接資助我們水污染項目,用作調查、遊說

或公眾教育等活動上。

三位杯中願行動大使在開幕活動當日,都分享了他們的杯中願:

你有親身感受過水污染的嚴重性嗎?張敬軒:我在廣州長大,以往家附近有條河流屬

於珠江的分流,我小時候的水是相當

清澈的,後來碧綠色的食水逐漸變成黑

色,可見珠江已經大受污染。

水是人體必須的元素,但當我們的水源

受到污染的時候,我們的生命、我們的

你希望你今次的設計可以帶出怎樣的信息?林一峰:來自我在瑞士看到的一個淒美畫

面,在路旁有一棵被人斬了的樹,

上面鋪上一層厚厚的雪,我很想把

樹上的雪喝掉,因為雪山的水是

最純淨的,但潔淨的水源已日益減

少,一些原本每個人可以享有的基

本權利已經愈來愈罕有。

我們每天喝著杯中的水時,可以想

像它是最後一杯,好好珍惜。

作為設計師,你會怎樣以個人力量改善中國水污染?Prudence:某次我前往東莞,希望尋找可以合作生產的廠商,期間見

過一條「藍色」河流,瞭解後才知是由一間生產牛仔褲的

工廠做成的,我最後決定不選擇跟這間廠合作。就算價錢

不錯,只要那間廠配套不好,都不會選擇。作為設計師,

一定要瞭解合作夥伴正發生什麼事,別為了自己賺錢而糟

蹋地球。

設計中我的創作 icon Fatina會化成人魚,希望大家用愛心

及力量去改變惡夢。巨型恐龍正肆意破壞地球的生態,那

小燈塔正是綠色和平,默默推動環保活動。

來自牛仔褲之城的水污染

Prudence 所說的「藍色」河流,並不只是個故事。右圖是 Google

Earth 上的一張衛星圖,很難想像,這樣觸目驚心的水污染景象離

我們並不遠,這裡是廣東省增城市新塘鎮,亦是牛仔褲製造業的

重鎮,由漂染以至縫製等工序都在這裡找到。問題是過程中污水

得不到正確的處理,衛星圖上的藍黑色,很有可能包含來自牛仔

褲染料及其它相關工業污水。

於「3.22 世界水日」,太古城中心有四隻巨型水杯出現,設計出自三位「杯中願」行動大使張敬軒、

林一峰及本地首飾品牌 Chocolate Rain 設計師 Prudence Mak 之手。他們分別以拍照及圖畫來表現他們眼中

的中國水污染情況,同時更集合了200 多位中港市民對中國水污染的感想及創新解決方法。

世界水日雖然已經完結,你仍然可以憑個人的力量,改變中國水污染問題。

三位「杯中願」行動大使希望藉著活動,用創作感染市民,瞭解中國工業水污染的

狀況,並捐出一杯喜愛飲品的價錢,支持綠色和平防治水污染工作。

感謝整個活動中超過 60 多家食肆響應「杯中願行動」,舉辦不同類型的籌款及義賣

活動,呼籲食客支持綠色和平的工作。同時活動亦獲多家企業及機構的員工支持,

發起捐款活動,所有取得的款項,均會直接資助我們水污染項目,用作調查、遊說

或公眾教育等活動上。

三位杯中願行動大使在開幕活動當日,都分享了他們的杯中願:

你有親身感受過水污染的嚴重性嗎?張敬軒:我在廣州長大,以往家附近有條河流屬

於珠江的分流,我小時候的水是相當

清澈的,後來碧綠色的食水逐漸變成黑

色,可見珠江已經大受污染。

水是人體必須的元素,但當我們的水源

受到污染的時候,我們的生命、我們的

你希望你今次的設計可以帶出怎樣的信息?林一峰:來自我在瑞士看到的一個淒美畫

面,在路旁有一棵被人斬了的樹,

上面鋪上一層厚厚的雪,我很想把

樹上的雪喝掉,因為雪山的水是

最純淨的,但潔淨的水源已日益減

少,一些原本每個人可以享有的基

本權利已經愈來愈罕有。

我們每天喝著杯中的水時,可以想

像它是最後一杯,好好珍惜。

作為設計師,你會怎樣以個人力量改善中國水污染?Prudence:某次我前往東莞,希望尋找可以合作生產的廠商,期間見

過一條「藍色」河流,瞭解後才知是由一間生產牛仔褲的

工廠做成的,我最後決定不選擇跟這間廠合作。就算價錢

不錯,只要那間廠配套不好,都不會選擇。作為設計師,

一定要瞭解合作夥伴正發生什麼事,別為了自己賺錢而糟

蹋地球。

設計中我的創作 icon Fatina會化成人魚,希望大家用愛心

及力量去改變惡夢。巨型恐龍正肆意破壞地球的生態,那

小燈塔正是綠色和平,默默推動環保活動。

EVERY YEAR, SEVEN MILLION HECTARES OF ANCIENT FOREST ARE DESTROYED GLOBALLY. THAT’S 20 SOCCER FIELDS A MINUTE! GONE!

■ The Paradise Forests are rich in plant and animal life including the endangered Sumatran Tiger and the Orangutan.

■ The forests are also home to indigenous peoples.

■ Deforestation is a big climate killer. It is responsible for about 20% of total greenhouse gases – that’s more than is given out by all the world’s cars, planes and trains.

■ Forests are the lungs of the planet. They replenish oxygen and help to stabilise the climate.

■ The rich and beautiful Paradise Forests of Southeast Asia,

■ These include tropical rainforests, mangrove, coastal and swamp forests in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

■ They are among the world’s most threatened forests.

■ Around two million hectares (an area about the size of Wales) is destroyed every year in Indonesia.

■ Logging companies cut down the forests to make cheap wood products – such as furniture and flooring – to sell around the world (a lot of these timber products are made in China).

■ Palm oil companies clear the forest for palm oil plantations. Worldwide demand for palm oil is growing because it is used in so many daily products such as crisps, chocolate, cream cheese, margarine, cosmetics and biofuels.

■ Loggers: such as Rimbunan Hijau (Malaysia)

■ Palm oil companies and buyers: such as Sinar Mas, Wilmar, Cargill, Nestlé, Unilever

■ Pulp & Paper companies and buyers: such as

Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), APRIL, Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco

Where? Why? Who? Why save it?

The orangutans are one of our closest relatives. Indeed, the word orangutan comes from the Malaysian word for ‘man of the forest’. Like us, they belong to the Great Ape family and are very intelligent. They often use tools. For example, when it rains, orangutans like to make umbrellas from big leaves. While they like their own company, mothers will stay with their young until he or she is seven years old.

Orangutan

Orangutans live in two countries in the whole world – Indonesia and Malaysia. Current estimates put their numbers at around 50,000 – that’s even less than the number of people living in Kowloon! They only live in trees and that’s why the biggest single threat to their survival is logging.

How can we let companies like Nestlé kill the orangutan just for a bar of chocolate?

Can I avoid palm oil?It’s hard because palm oil isn’t labelled on the majority of products, it is often just called vegetable oil.

Should we stop using palm oil?While some companies have said they will boycott the use of palm oil altogether, Greenpeace believes that this is not necessary. Instead it is urging companies to continue using palm oil but to guarantee that it is sustainable palm oil, in other words not from new plantations. The problem with Nestlé is that they are still indirectly buying palm oil from Sinar Mas – a company which continues to clear large swathes of Indonesian forest for lucrative palm oil plantations.

What do Nestlé say?No doubt, Nestlé is very embarrassed by all the bad press. Their PR officers claim they are investigating their palm oil suppliers but that it “will take time.” Greenpeace says that’s not good enough. Unilever and Kraft have both ditched Sinar Mas out of their supply chain so why hasn’t Nestlé? Let’s keep the pressure up. We have the power.

Make a video and put it on YoutubeWe call it ‘Ask Nestlé to give rainforests a break.’ It links Kitkats to the death of Orangutans.

We had a similar campaign in 2008: this

time against the makers of Dove soap,

Unilever, the biggest single buyer of palm

oil in the world.

After just two weeks of campaigning – videos,

adverts, petitions, media coverage – our

supporters sent so many protest emails to Unilever

that the company agreed to stop buying palm oil

from suppliers that were illegally logging the

Paradise Forests.

To revisit the excitement of the Dove campaign we

got in touch with Eoin Dubsky, web editor at our

Greenpeace International office in Amsterdam, and

asked him a few questions

The dove story

1. Can you describe how you felt when the Dove campaign

kicked off and you saw the campaign video go viral and the

huge public response?

Eoin: We had always hoped that the Dove video would be a success

– it's a parody of a hugely successful advert for Dove called

“onslaught”. What’s more, our video producer had managed to get a

top Czech rock band to do original music and lyrics.

Launch day was electric – we had spent weeks and months

preparing, and it was suddenly all out in the open for all to see.

Hundreds of thousands of people watched the video on websites like

YouTube and DailyMotion in the opening days of the campaign. Many

tens of thousands wrote protest emails to Unilever, the makers of

Dove. The press, blogs and forums were suddenly full of commentary

about Unilever’s role in the palm oil trade, and how that impacts forest

habitats and climate change. We were all bearing witness and calling

out for change at once. It was massive and exhilarating!

2. What were your feelings when two weeks after the launch,

Unilever said OK, we’ll come clean on the palm oil?

Eoin: We were delighted, of course, that Unilever turned 180 degrees

so quickly. But we also wished we could have stayed at it a bit longer,

to get more people involved and deepen their understanding of the

climate crisis. It's a bit like theatre or music performance – months of

rehearsal, and then only a few days on stage.

3. What do you think are the key ingredients that

go into an online campaign like this?

Eoin: Think about what the target company cares about

(e.g. public trust in the Dove brand); think of how to

re-use or subvert their own symbols and themes online

to tell the campaign story; then do it!

What is a carbon audit?In the same way that we get a physical examination to detect health issues, a carbon audit can pick out weak points in how a building uses energy leading to carbon emissions, suggesting ways to reduce energy consumption thus saving money and saving the climate.

Unfortunately carbon audits are voluntary in Hong Kong. Since developers are unlikely to do one on their own initiative we believe they should be compulsory for every building in Hong Kong.

Our 3-point carbon audit action plan1. Government to do a carbon audit on all

existing private housing estates.

2. Require all developers to ensure all new buildings have a better energy performance than the average obtained from step one.

3. Require new development projects to use microclimate analysis in the design stage. That means design intelligently to take advantage of natural light, ventilation and local climatic conditions to minimise the amount of energy needed to cool, heat and light buildings. 1. Face north-south

North-south buildings don’t get as hot or cold as east-west facing ones.

2. Natural ventilation is keyIf you can create cross-ventilation by opening facing windows then you can naturally keep your flat cooler.

There’s so much we can do to stop climate change. Encouraging the innovative and amazing use of renewable energy is one, but another important tool is getting everyone to just be more intelligent about using energy.

Over half of all Hong Kong’s carbon dioxide emissions come from the inefficient use of electricity in buildings. Big profits can be made on real estate in Hong Kong, and the government does its best to foster the sector, but in the blind pursuit of profits they have both forgotten that energy efficient buildings are smart.

Datianba Primary SchoolOur last stop was Datianba primary school. On April 21 we set up a big solar pump to provide water for the school and power classroom fans. There are 140 children in this school, some of them walk an hour a day just to go to classes.

Maojiacun reservoirFarmer Yang and his family of seven from Maide village want to plant cabbages in the dried up bed of the Maojiacun reservoir. We donated two small solar powered pumps and installed them on April 6. Just look at his smile!

Jianbian VillageA couple of weeks later on April 19, we were in Jianban village. This was our biggest project. Almost 1,500 people who live in the village will rely on these two new big solar water pumps to grow vegetables. This is Mingqing, our climate and energy campaigner and de facto solar engineer!

5 easy ways to make our buildings greenerAlmost 90% of Hong Kong’s electricity is consumed by buildings. If designers incorporate the five following easy rules, our new buildings can be much smarter.

3. Insulation is keyIn the scorching heat of summer, our apartments can feel like an oven, but if the walls were well insulated our room would naturally be cooler.

4. Cut down on parkingUnderground car parks gobble up lots of energy in lighting and ventilation.

5. Create more shadingJust as people wear sun hats in the summer, architects can incorporate shade into new building design.

Since September last year, the south of China has been strangled by drought. For farmers this means withered harvests and dry, baked earth. For tens of millions of people it means strug-gling to find enough water to wash and even to drink. For decades now scien-tists have told us climate change will bring extreme weather and this terrible drought is a good warning of what we can expect. Greenpeace wanted to show the people of China there is hope and there are answers.

This year we used a splash of creativity to call on the Hong Kong public to join our Fill Our Cup with Hope campaign, a crucial project to raise awareness and support for our water pollution work.

On World Water Day (March 22) we held a fun event with four giant mugs, and three celebrities – singers Hins Cheung and Chet Lam, and designer Prudence Mak of design brand “Chocolate Rain”. The designs on the mugs expressed peoples’ hopes for solving China’s water pollution crisis.

Chet Lam In Switzerland I saw a beautiful scene. On the side of the road I saw a tree that had been chopped down. On its side, a thick blanket of snow had fallen. I wanted to drink that snow, it was so pure. But the world’s clean water resources are shrinking. Now millions of people cannot enjoy the basic human right of access to clean water.

Every time you drink a glass of water, remember how precious it is. It is so precious we should treasure it as if it is the last cup of clean water left on the earth.

You filled our cup with

hope!

Hins Cheung I grew up in Guangzhou. Near my house is a tributary of the Pearl River. When I was young the water was very clear and fresh and aquamarine, but now it’s turned black. It looks like the Pearl River has become really polluted.

Prudence Mak One time I was in Dongguan (a city in Guangdong) hoping to cooperate with a company in the area. While I was there, I came across a blue-coloured river. Later I found out the blue colour came from that company, a denim jeans factory. So I decided not to cooperate with the company after all. As a designer, it’s important to understand what the companies you are cooperating with are doing. It’s not right to pollute the planet just to earn some money.

Water is essential for life. So when our water source becomes polluted it can seriously harm us. If the water supply to a city becomes polluted, then what happens to the people?

In my cup design, I painted a water drop and a heart shape. I hope that everybody will realise how precious water is, join Greenpeace in solving China’s water pollution crisis and help the 300 million people in China living with dirty water.

Just across the border in Guangdong province is Xintang township. This is where the world’s jeans are sewn and dyed. There is so little control over factory wastewater, that the river here runs blue-black from the dyes used in making the jeans.

Last month, CNN did a special report. They visited factories where “workers snap buttons on jeans so fast you can barely see their hands move.” Every year about 200 million pairs of jeans are made here, including top brands, said CNN.

This CNN story comes hot on the heels of a report we released several months back called Poisoning the Pearl. In this report we discovered several factories were dumping hazardous waste – including heavy metals – straight into the Pearl River.

CNN interviewed Greenpeace China campaigner Edward Chan on the jeans pollution. He told CNN: “The problem with [the factory] pipes is that they don't have labelling. You don't know what is coming out from them. Some of it might be domestic discharge from the dormitories, but it could also include industrial waste.”

Last year, Greenpeace also made a scouting trip to jeans city. These are some of the pictures we took.

By helping to expose this kind of pollution to the media, Greenpeace China is pushing companies and local governments to clean up their act.

For my Mug of Hope, I painted my icon, a mermaid called Fatina. I hope everyone can use their love and their strength to stop this water pollution nightmare.

This year we used a splash of creativity to call on the Hong Kong public to join our Fill Our Cup with Hope campaign, a crucial project to raise awareness and support for our water pollution work.

On World Water Day (March 22) we held a fun event with four giant mugs, and three celebrities – singers Hins Cheung and Chet Lam, and designer Prudence Mak of design brand “Chocolate Rain”. The designs on the mugs expressed peoples’ hopes for solving China’s water pollution crisis.

Chet Lam In Switzerland I saw a beautiful scene. On the side of the road I saw a tree that had been chopped down. On its side, a thick blanket of snow had fallen. I wanted to drink that snow, it was so pure. But the world’s clean water resources are shrinking. Now millions of people cannot enjoy the basic human right of access to clean water.

Every time you drink a glass of water, remember how precious it is. It is so precious we should treasure it as if it is the last cup of clean water left on the earth.

You filled our cup with

hope!

Hins Cheung I grew up in Guangzhou. Near my house is a tributary of the Pearl River. When I was young the water was very clear and fresh and aquamarine, but now it’s turned black. It looks like the Pearl River has become really polluted.

Prudence Mak One time I was in Dongguan (a city in Guangdong) hoping to cooperate with a company in the area. While I was there, I came across a blue-coloured river. Later I found out the blue colour came from that company, a denim jeans factory. So I decided not to cooperate with the company after all. As a designer, it’s important to understand what the companies you are cooperating with are doing. It’s not right to pollute the planet just to earn some money.

Water is essential for life. So when our water source becomes polluted it can seriously harm us. If the water supply to a city becomes polluted, then what happens to the people?

In my cup design, I painted a water drop and a heart shape. I hope that everybody will realise how precious water is, join Greenpeace in solving China’s water pollution crisis and help the 300 million people in China living with dirty water.
