I think"ban on idling engine " this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong."ban on idling engine" is equal to switch off idling vehicles amd switch off idling vehicles mean stop the waste gases disposal.If cars switch off idling vehicles 3 minutes every day,it will lessen emission waste gas to the air. This proposal will have some people oppose,example,Mr. Li,taxi owner drive.Ms. Cheung,school bus driver.Also,public light bus driver.Why they will oppose?It was because they need to wait for their passenger, they switch off idling vehicles,the compartment will very hot.passenger will uncomfortable and will effect their business.So,they will oppose. Also,it'll have people support.Example,Ms. Lau, she is a shoe shop owner.Mr. and Mrs. Yau, who have two young chidlren studying in a Primary school in Mongkok.Ms. Tang, who is a traffic warden. She is responsible for enforcing the above ban.They will support this proposal,it was because the waste gases will effect their healthy,their job. Moreover,I will support"ban on idling engine".Because this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong.
Recently, the government has tried to seek public opinion on the issue, "ban on idling engine". The government wants to solve the air pollution problems. I think the proposal ''ban on idling engine"can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong because when we switch on the engine, it will release lots of exhaust such as Co2, co1. However, this is not the only one way to solve the air pollution problems. Vehicle and manufacturing exhaust are very serious. Some of stakeholders may think that "ban on idling engine" is a good way to solve air pollution problems and some of them may not. Let's talk about about some stakeholders that agree this mehtod first. I think that Ms. Lau will agree this mehtod as she needs to have a business. Besides, Mr. and Mrs. Yau will also agree this because they may want their two young chidlren studying in a good condition. I think that Mr. Li will not agree this method because it will affect his bussiness. It is inconvenient for Mr. Li . Moreover, passenger will argue with him. Ms. Cheung is also the same as Mr. Li. It will affect herbussiness. Ms. Tang will also disagree this method because she will feel ver hot in summer. In addition, it is very hard to measure the time for turning off the engine after a grace period of three minutes.
I think this proposal is good for the environment and the earth. Because this can reduce the toxic gas from the cars. However, this proposal cannot execute extensively. Because the proposal need us to switch off the vehicles within three minutes. If we support this rules, we will be very 'painful'. In example, there was a schoolbus driver. He need to drive the students to school. If he switch off the vehicle, he will be very hot. Because the air conditioner was switch off with the vehicle in the same time. And the students who waiting for go to school will also very hot too. Therefore, the chance that the driver who follow the rules is almost zero. However, there were some people who will support this proposal very much. In example, there was a shopkeeper. Her shop was facing to the street. The car released the toxic gas to her shop. Therefore, her shop had very few trade. Therefore, she will support this proposal very much. According to the above example, I think this proposal is good for us to save the earth. But there were still some of the disadvantages.Hope the government can improve this. Don't let this good proposal gone bad.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong. Air quality affects our health in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there are 275 vehicles per km on the road everyday. It is the main cause of air pollution. Air pollution includes pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide diminishes the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to the body. Nitrogen oxides irritate upper air passages and the lungs. They are harmful for children. They make them to sick such as headaches, aggravates asthma and allergies, lung disease and impaired learning. According to the information, if the car is running, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are 4.92 and 0.68. When the car is idling, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are 4.0 and 0.2. All pollutants when engine switched off is 0. The first number and the second number are close. When car is idling, it looks like running car that exhaust more carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. If every car tries to exhaust less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. It can help to improve air pollution in Hong Kong but some people like stop the engine to wait people. If the government make law to ban on “idling engine”, it can help to improving air quality and our life in Hong Kong.
I think this policy is a bad idea and I do not support this proposal.Firstly,the taxi driver may think that it is so inconvenient.If the engine is easy to burn out,then the drivers need to pay money to repair their car by themselves.The goverment need all cars conclude the vans and the wagons.But I think that if the goverment detrude this policy,not as good as grow more plants and limit the cars without the transport.It is because the transport need to shipping the wares or passengers. And this policy is so diffcult to limit drivers to switch off the engine when they stop the cars.I think they will not to remenber this,it is because their cars to stop it also need energy to continue to switch on the engine.Then they may think that they are waste their own money to switch on the engine. Scondly,the taxi need to wait passengers to come to their cars.If they switch off the engine at summer,then the air condition can not work and the box car will be hot so much.Then the passengers may do not want to travel by them.It is because their box car is hot and the other is the same,why not do not travel the other transport.For example,bus,train or MTR.Then the taxi drivers will not have a enough money to pay the prices for their daily life if there are less passengers to take their car. So,I do not support this policy.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help in improving the air quality in Hong Kong.It is because this proposal can reduce much of the air pollutants which is come from the car. The pollutants such as particulates,sulphur dioxide,nitrogen oxides,ozone and carbon monocide have a direct and immediate to impact on respiratory function.According to the Emissions table, we can see that the air pollutants when the engine switched off is 0.If the government bans on idling engine,the air will be more fresh. But,I think much of the people will not be agree this proposal.Maybe I list some example.There are a taxi owner and driver.If he have to switch off the engine when he are waiting the passenger.When the passenger get on the taxi,he will be feel so hot.And this will be reduce the income of the taxi driver.Ms.Cheung,who is a school bus operator.She is also the owner of the school bus company.If she have to switch off the engine when she are waiting students.The students maybe feel so hot when they get on the bus.Therefore,no one will support this proposal.So,I don't think it will be work in Hong Kong.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong because when you switched off the engine, it will release zero gram pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides.Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides will cause headaches, aggravates Asthme and allergies, lung disease and impaired learing.If we absort too many vehicle emissions, it will affect our body. I know some of the drivers will think this proposal is very trouble, but the government will provide a grace period of three-in-sixty minutes to drivers of all motor vehicles, and the first two taxis at the stands are exempted, so it's a good try for improve the air of Hong Kong.If the drivers support this proposal, the air of Hong Kong will become freshen and cleanse. So I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
I think "ban on idling engine" this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong. Because the air pollutants allmost is come from the car. But not only care about the car, it has many major sources of polltion such as forest fires, volcanic eruptions or other natural sourses, the cars make the earth be badly. I think it can solve the problen because when the cars switch on their engine, it release excessive sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and carbon monoxide. So when the cars are runnung the engine will still on, so that the engine will discharges excessive waste gases; and if the cars are idling the cars still excessivethe waste gases too. And the taix driver waits the passengers, if the switch off their engine in the summer, then the condition will not work too. The passengers wll not want to get in that hot taix. Finally, the proposal can help the earth but somebody will get less money. So, I don't support the proposal.
I think"ban on idling engine " this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong.Although the drivers may feel not comfortable, all the people can feel more good and the air can be better.it will release zero gram pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides.Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides will cause headaches, aggravates Asthme and allergies, lung disease and impaired learing.If we absort too many vehicle emissions, it will affect our body. "Ban on idling engine"is not only one car must keep this habit everyday.Actually, all the people who drive the car must it yourselves. The governmernt should take a part of people who do not ban on idling engine of drives. Finally, the proposal can help the earth but somebody will get less money. So, I don't support the proposal.
I think this proposal can help to improve the air quality in Hong Kong. It is because everytime you swhich off the idling engine, it will stop release the global gases like carbon dioxide, it iwll pollute the air. Although the driver will feel comfortable when the car is idling and haven't swhich off the idling engine. But it is continued to release global gases. And when the strangers walk nearly to the car, it will make them feel uncomfortable. So if the proposal can be enforced, it will imoprove the air quality and our respiratory system will not be injured
I don't support this proposal, because i think this proposal have many problem . Firstly , many car drivers are not pleased with this proposal there are few points that they hate this policy. -If they can't use the air-conditioners they will become uncomfortable and some passenger will feel hot. But the important things are the car will let the drivers feel inconvenient and when you turn the engine back on will make more exhaust then will be more air pollution that will violet the proposal purpose. -The government to remit some car that they can switch on the engine but it will produce a argument that some car drivers will use this remit to argue with the government that is a contradiction. So that is why I don’t support this proposal.
I think most students who have given comment on this topic are very interested in it. They have lots of ideas and opinions. I like 3C 23's passage best. His argument is convincing and easy to follow. Also, he can provide statistical data to support his viewpoint. Yet, if he can also comment on the government 's chance in successfully carrying out this proposal, the content of his passage will be more complete. Since every stakeholders put their own self-interest in the first position, voices from them are different. That's why the government gives a consultation period of five months for the public to express their viewpoints.

I am support the Ban on idling engine. But why I support the Ban on idling engine? It is because our earth sick already, but why our earth will sick? Because we have the environmental pollution, environmental pollution is the contamination of environment which causes disconism, instability, disorder and leaves harmful impact on physical system and on living organism. What kind of pollution? For example, air pollution. The definitions of air pollution are any contamination of the atmosphere that disturbs the natural composition and chemistry of the air, the major sources of air pollution vehicle or manufacturing exhaust. Too much manufacturing exhaust will trap heat in the atmosphere, this call greenhouse gases. Too much greenhouse gases will have the global warming. So we need to change the air quality in Hong Kong If we have Ban on idling engine, the earth will be heal in coming year, so I am so support the ban on idling engine.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong because nowaday we go outside we will feel hand to breath when we stand near the road, when a running engin car on the road it will releas 4.92 cabon monoxide also a idling car will relaes 4.0 carbon monoxide ,but we turn off the engine there are 0 carbon monoxide . i think the school bus driver will not support this , because he need to stay inside car for a very time, in the summer driver will feel hot so when they need to turn on air conditioner they need to turn on the engine first so i think the school bus driver will not support. although many people don't want to have this rules but we should do this , the air problems in Hong Kong are very serious, when we do this the air of Hong Kong will become freshen and cleanse. So I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong. So i will support this 'ban on idling engine'.
I think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment."Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the goverment for drivers to switch off engines while the vehicles are waiting.Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket. A running private car will release 4.92 carbon monoxides; a idling private car will release 4.0 nitrigen oxdies,if they switch of the engine, there are no more carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxdies. (c)I think Ms.Lau will totally support this proposal,she is the shoe shop owner, the entrance of her shop is facing the street;if a car is parking outside her shop, that car will release many carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxdies, so it will cause some customers will complaint or even leave immediately. Many people will disapove this proposal, because somne drivers worried that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequently, may leading to extensive wear, also is inconvenient to them.
I think i will support this proposal. It is because i think hong kong air pollution's problem is very troble. We need to be more serious.Most of the air pollution is came from cars.This proposal can let the people know that.If we want to have a good environment to live, we should solve this problem now. Therefore this proposal can let the driver know that we need to improve now
I don't support this proposal,because it will produce much more pollution problems.
Firstly,for example, a taxi driver in hot summer,when he is waiting for the passenager,he is not willing to stop the engine, so he will keep driving round and round.In this case, the air pollution will become serious.
Secondly,if a vehicle starts the engine frequently,it will produce more pollutant to the air then it is in using, so this''Switch off Iding Vehicle''proposal may lead to more pollutant dispose in the air.
Thirdly, to start and stop the engine frequently, may cause parts fatigue.The driver need to change the vehicle's parts frequently. The wastes will increase the bearing of the landfill. It will lead to land pollution.
Furthermore, the wastes disposed to the landfill may cause toxic leakage. Through rainwater, the toxic substances will go to underground water. It will cause huge damage to the ecosystem.
My own opinion, I suppose to use some clean fuel to run the vehicles or just replace the present with the electrical vehicles than this proposal.
I think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment."Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the goverment for drivers to switch off engines while the vehicles are waiting.Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket. i think the school bus driver will not support this , because he need to stay inside car for a very time, in the summer driver will feel hot so when they need to turn on air conditioner they need to turn on the engine first so i think the school bus driver will not support. Since every stakeholders put their own self-interest in the first position, voices from them are different. That's why the government gives a consultation period of five months for the public to express their viewpoints.
' Ban on idling engine' is a proposal of HONG KONG. I agree this proposal because it can help the environment become better. HONG KONG is a small city.However, there are many ways are releasing too much carbon dioxide. For examples, there are many peoply drive their cars,vans,trucks for work or do something else.If the drivers can switch off the cars,vans,trucks...when the cars are stoped,we can reduce to release the carbon dioxide. It is healthy for the pedestrians as well. If all of us do something to protect the world, there will a big difference of the world. If the drivers can switch off their cars for few minutes, it can help protect the enivronment so many.
I think the proposal "Ban on idling engine" can the air quality in Hong Kong effectively. Everyday there are lots of vehicles on the road. If all the vehicles are not turn of the engine when the car stop, then it will release more execsive gas. Then that will affect the air quality and cause the air pollution. But if we did it, there would release less waste gases. If the proposal "Ban on idling engine" is working effectively in the world, I think the air pollution intex will decrease so fast. It is a good way to solve the problem of air pollution.
Dear Hoi Ching, You agree to this policy and it can help to lessen the pollution problem. Try to think some measures to ease the conflicts arising from the implementation of this policy.
Dear Kwan Yi, Just like the comment I gave to Hoi Ching, try to think any remedies to ease the conflict between some groups and government when the policy is introduced.
Dear Ho Man, This policy is good since it can help to lessen the air pollution problem. There may be conflicts among different groups arisen after the introduction of this policy. Try to find a win-win solution to ease those conflicts.
I am support the Ban on idling engine.Because i think Hong kong's air pollution problem is serious. Everyday there are lots of vehicles,cars,taxis on the road. If all the transport do not turn of the engine when the cars stop, then they will release execsive gas!Too much manufacturing exhaust will trap heat in the atmosphere, this call greenhouse gases. Too much greenhouse gases will have the global warming. So we need to change the air quality in Hong Kong.Therefore, I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong. This is the reason why i support this proposal.
This is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. If private car is running, emission of carbon monoxide is 4.92. If the car is idling, the emission is 4.0.If the car turn off the engine, the emission of carbon monoxide is 0. Taxi owner and school bus operator would not like this policy. Parents would like this policy.
Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. Air pollution is a serious problem. The Effects of Vehicle Emissions are headaches, lung disease and impaired learning. Ban on idling engine is a proposal from the goverment for the drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Different stakeholders have different opinions. Taxi owner worried that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequetly,would lead to extensive wear and tear. Shoe shop owner likes this policy, because the entrance of her shop is facing the street.
I think this proposal 'bans on idling engine' can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong. When the private car is running,the emission of carbon monoxide is 4.92.When the car is idling,the emission of carbon monoxide is 4.0.But when the car turns off the engine,emission of carbon monoxide is 0.Some people in our society dislike the inconvenience of having to turn off the engine.Some car owners worried that this will lead to extensive wear and tear of the motor starter.
I support this "ban on idling engine" porposal,it is because this porposal can protect Hong Kong people.Hong Kong is place these many people,but less place,so we can easy to smell some bad air,if they start to do this action,it would much more better.
I think I will support this proposal .The proposal is good for the environment of Hong Kong because hong kong has the highest road traffic density in the world and the air pollution that also effect our body, our body will easy get headaches ,aggravates asthma and allergies...And this proposal will make the air quality better
I think I will support this proposal, because this proposal is good for Hong Kong's environment. I think Hong Kong have cars on the road every day and the road are always very busy, but on some road, some cars will just stop and don't turn off the car. That will make many waste gas out and make the air pollution out, so I will support this proposal.
I think I will support this proposal .Ban on idling engine ,Ben will have air pollution in Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. also,this is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting.air pollution have some effects of harmful, will make lungs and airways are immature.
I support this "ban on idling engine"porposal, because Hong Kong air pollution is so serious and if the divers switch off the engines while vehicles are waiting car. It's good for the enviornment.
Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. So they make the air pollution. Air pollution is ageneral term that refers to the emission of harmful substances into the air. Effects of air pollution, have headaches, lung disease, impaired learning. "Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Private cars are running 4.92 and idling 4.0 carbon monoxide. All pollutants when engine switched off 0.
I will support this proposal. Because the problem in Hong Kong is quiet serious. It's effect our enviornment. When the divers switch on the engines while vehicles are waiting, it cause many bad air. If people smell it, they will feel uncomfortable. And seriously, it may cause cancer. On the other hand, When the divers switch off the engines while vehicles are waiting, they can save money for insert crude oil.
The high road traffic density traps air pollutants at the streel level. In fact,vehicles are one of the largest source of air pollution in Hong Kong.The effects of vehicle emissions inclucle headache aggravates asthma, allergies,lung disease and impaired learning.Some people in our society dislike the inconvenience of having to turn of the engine with the keys every time they have to wait for the traffic light to change.
For those 3D students who have made an effort to write blog, I appreciate their good attempt. Yet, most of you actually can lengthen your writings by including more content. For example, you may also mention how many different stakeholders only show concern about their own interest, instead of the interest of the whole public. The government 's attempt in working out this proposal may not be a smooth one as opposition voices may come from different sectors of the society.
I think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment.' Ban on idling engine is a proposal from the government for dirvers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket.Firstly, if we idling a private car, it will release about 4.0gram carbon monoxide per minute and 0.2gram nitrogen oxides per minute. if we switch off the engines, all pollutants will not release any more.Secondly, emission from vehicle can cause headaches, lung disease, heart disease or etc. It is especially for children because their lungs is immature so that are more easy to get these problem.But i think the taxi owner or school bus drivers will not response to this proposal because they will worry that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequely, leading to extensive wear and tear of the motor starter and it isn't comfort for them to sit inside the car ina hot summer weather without an air-condition.
CHeung lok Yi (2) 3C I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong because nowaday we go outside we will feel hand to breath when we stand near the road, when a running engin car on the road it will releas 4.92 cabon monoxide also a idling car will relaes 4.0 carbon monoxide ,but we turn off the engine there are 0 carbon monoxide . i think the school bus driver will not support this , because he need to stay inside car for a very time, in the summer driver will feel hot so when they need to turn on air conditioner they need to turn on the engine first so i think the school bus driver will not support. although many people don't want to have this rules but we should do this , the air problems in Hong Kong are very serious, when we do this the air of Hong Kong will become freshen and cleanse. So I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong. So i will support this 'ban on idling engine'.
I think the goverment's proposal that bans on"idling engine"can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong. Air pollution is a general term that refers to the emission of harmful substances into the air .Then these substances will make human unhealthy.However,air pollution in Hong Kong is very serious.The main source is the intensity of traffic.If A private car is runing,it will emission 4.92 gram carbon monoxide and 0.68 gram nitrogen oxides per minute.When the private car is idling wil emission 4.0 gram carbon monoxide and 0.2 gram nitrogen oxides per minute.You can see that no much changes the pollutants produced by the car is runing and idlling If the car switched off will not emission any pollutants .However many taxi drivers in Hong Kong dislike this proposal,because they think is very inconvenient and they may be earned less money so that they will not obey this proposal.I think the proposal is very good ,it have the fine system that the taxi drivers will obey this proposal and then emissions from the cars will reduce.Moreover,Emissions from the car caused many diseases .Therefore,I think this proposal will improve air quality in Hong Kong and we will have a healthy body.
I think I will support the government to implement this proposal: Ban on idling engine" Because I think this plan is good for a lot of people, although that scheme is good for our Earth. Why? It is bceause if we indraft too many exhaust gas, it will effect our life. Also our health's problem. But the most big problem, I think that is about our Earth. As our Earth is started to have a greenhouse effect. And beside our Earth is started to appear greenhouse effect, that is made by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases that have water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The car will release the greenhouse gases when it still on. And some people donlt turn off the car because they don't want the car that be too hot when they come back to the car. So, they will turn on the car and turn on the air-condition to keep the temperaturn that inside the car.As air-conditioner will prodect the chemical call freon. And it will destroy the atmosphere. So, I will support this proposal.
Yes,I very support this proposal"Ban on idling engine".Hong Kong have many pollution.Air pollution also is a serious problem in Hong Kong. Why there are a serious problem in Hong Kong?First of all,fossil fuel.Fossil fuel is a non-renewable energy.It will release carbon dioxide.The fuel of motor car also is fossil fuel.When we Ban on idling engine,we can release less carbon dioxide.Do you think it is a good measure to save our world?I think it is. Secondly,I know many motor car driver think Ban on idling engine is a troublesome thing.But,when you are enjoying the cool air in your own car,the people who are outside your car will feel toilsome.I know it is not easy for the motor car driver.But it is good for our world!
I will support this proposal"Ban on idling engine",because Hong Kong has the heightest road traffic density in the world,also the car will emission the harmful substance into the air, for examplr sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides...and it make some effect of the emissions, for example, headaches, impaired learning...It make the shoe shop owner feel unconfortable, because the shoe shop entrance is facing the street, so the somke will make the shoe shop owner inconvenience.
I support this proposal. First, I think this is good for our environment and the earth. It is because this can help release lese toxic gas from the cars. The drivers need to switch off the idling vehicles within three minutes. May be These rules will bring so problem for us for example, the taxi driver need to drive the passenger to the place that they went to go. The car will be come hotter because of the driver switches off the vehicle and the air conditioner will be switches off at same time. The passenger may choice to take another taxi. But the proposal is good for the environment, it help to release less greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. It can help retard global warming. Around off all the point, I support this proposal.
I think ban on idling engine is good for us. It is because this may cause air pollution. It emissions of harmful substances into air. The harmful substances such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide, etc. These will effect our healthy and cause headaches and ling disease. According to the survey of comparison of emissions while vehicles running and idling, the emission of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of a running private car are 4.92 and 0.68. However, the emission of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of an idling private car are 4.0 and 0.2. We can see that an idling private car emission of harmful substances is nearly to a running private car. Therefore, no one can deny the hard fact that the idling cars are causing air pollution. Judging from the above, it is obvious that the government should ban on idling engine. It is surely can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
Many drivers in Hong Kong leave the engines of their vehicles idling while they are waiting. Other than those who do so for reasons acceptable to the public (for example, drivers of emergency vehicles who keep the engines of their vehicles running while stationary for operational reasons and drivers of goods vehicles with a built-in refrigerator carrying frozen foods), most others leave their engines on to keep the air-conditioning running for the comfort of themselves, particularly during hot weather, at the expenses of the air quality. Hong Kong is facing two air pollution problems: street-level pollution and ambient air pollution. The former is mainly caused by the intensity of vehicles in our dense urban environment and the latter by both local and regional emission sources. To improve air quality, we have to tackle both problems head on. Besides, Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world.We have about 550 000 vehicles with a total road length of only 2000 km.The high road traffic density, together with the high urban density, impedes air pollutant dispersion and traps air pollutants at the street level. Thurs, I support to ban Idling Vehicles with Running Engines, and provide a Green Generation.
I think"ban on idling engine " this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong."ban on idling engine" is equal to switch off idling vehicles amd switch off idling vehicles mean stop the waste gases disposal.If cars switch off idling vehicles 3 minutes every day,it will lessen emission waste gas to the air.
ReplyDeleteThis proposal will have some people oppose,example,Mr. Li,taxi owner drive.Ms. Cheung,school bus driver.Also,public light bus driver.Why they will oppose?It was because they need to wait for their passenger, they switch off idling vehicles,the compartment will very hot.passenger will uncomfortable and will effect their business.So,they will oppose.
Also,it'll have people support.Example,Ms. Lau, she is a shoe shop owner.Mr. and Mrs. Yau, who have two young chidlren studying in a Primary school in Mongkok.Ms. Tang, who is a traffic warden. She is responsible for enforcing the above ban.They will support this proposal,it was because the waste gases will effect their healthy,their job.
Moreover,I will support"ban on idling engine".Because this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong.
Recently, the government has tried to seek public opinion on the issue, "ban on idling engine". The government wants to solve the air pollution problems. I think the proposal ''ban on idling engine"can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong because when we switch on the engine, it will release lots of exhaust such as Co2, co1. However, this is not the only one way to solve the air pollution problems. Vehicle and manufacturing exhaust are very serious.
ReplyDeleteSome of stakeholders may think that "ban on idling engine" is a good way to solve air pollution problems and some of them may not.
Let's talk about about some stakeholders that agree this mehtod first.
I think that Ms. Lau will agree this mehtod as she needs to have a business. Besides, Mr. and Mrs. Yau will also agree this because they may want their two young chidlren studying in a good condition.
I think that Mr. Li will not agree this method because it will affect his bussiness. It is inconvenient for Mr. Li . Moreover, passenger will argue with him. Ms. Cheung is also the same as Mr. Li. It will affect herbussiness. Ms. Tang will also disagree this method because she will feel ver hot in summer. In addition, it is very hard to measure the time for turning off the engine after a grace period of three
minutes.

ReplyDeleteI think this proposal is good for the environment and the earth. Because this can reduce the toxic gas from the cars. However, this proposal cannot execute extensively. Because the proposal need us to switch off the vehicles within three minutes. If we support this rules, we will be very 'painful'. In example, there was a schoolbus driver. He need to drive the students to school. If he switch off the vehicle, he will be very hot. Because the air conditioner was switch off with the vehicle in the same time. And the students who waiting for go to school will also very hot too. Therefore, the chance that the driver who follow the rules is almost zero.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there were some people who will support this proposal very much. In example, there was a shopkeeper. Her shop was facing to the street. The car released the toxic gas to her shop. Therefore, her shop had very few trade. Therefore, she will support this proposal very much.
According to the above example, I think this proposal is good for us to save the earth. But there were still some of the disadvantages.Hope the government can improve this. Don't let this good proposal gone bad.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong. Air quality affects our health in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there are 275 vehicles per km on the road everyday. It is the main cause of air pollution. Air pollution includes pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide diminishes the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to the body. Nitrogen oxides irritate upper air passages and the lungs. They are harmful for children. They make them to sick such as headaches, aggravates asthma and allergies, lung disease and impaired learning.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the information, if the car is running, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are 4.92 and 0.68. When the car is idling, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are 4.0 and 0.2. All pollutants when engine switched off is 0. The first number and the second number are close. When car is idling, it looks like running car that exhaust more
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. If every car tries to exhaust less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. It can help to improve air pollution in Hong Kong but some people like stop the engine to wait people. If the government make law to ban on “idling engine”, it can help to improving air quality and our life in Hong Kong.
I think this policy is a bad idea and I do not support this proposal.Firstly,the taxi driver may think that it is so inconvenient.If the engine is easy to burn out,then the drivers need to pay money to repair their car by themselves.The goverment need all cars conclude the vans and the wagons.But I think that if the goverment detrude this policy,not as good as grow more plants and limit the cars without the transport.It is because the transport need to shipping the wares or passengers.
ReplyDeleteAnd this policy is so diffcult to limit drivers to switch off the engine when they stop the cars.I think they will not to remenber this,it is because their cars to stop it also need energy to continue to switch on the engine.Then they may think that they are waste their own money to switch on the engine.
Scondly,the taxi need to wait passengers to come to their cars.If they switch off the engine at summer,then the air condition can not work and the box car will be hot so much.Then the passengers may do not want to travel by them.It is because their box car is hot and the other is the same,why not do not travel the other transport.For example,bus,train or MTR.Then the taxi drivers will not have a enough money to pay the prices for their daily life if there are less passengers to take their car.
So,I do not support this policy.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help in improving the air quality in Hong Kong.It is because this proposal can reduce much of the air pollutants which is come from the car. The pollutants such as particulates,sulphur dioxide,nitrogen oxides,ozone and carbon monocide have a direct and immediate to impact on respiratory function.According to the Emissions table, we can see that the air pollutants when the engine switched off is 0.If the government bans on idling engine,the air will be more fresh.
ReplyDeleteBut,I think much of the people will not be agree this proposal.Maybe I list some example.There are a taxi owner and driver.If he have to switch off the engine when he are waiting the passenger.When the passenger get on the taxi,he will be feel so hot.And this will be reduce the income of the taxi driver.Ms.Cheung,who is a school bus operator.She is also the owner of the school bus company.If she have to switch off the engine when she are waiting students.The students maybe feel so hot when they get on the bus.Therefore,no one will support this proposal.So,I don't think it will be work in Hong Kong.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong because when you switched off the engine, it will release zero gram pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides.Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides will cause headaches, aggravates Asthme and allergies, lung disease and impaired learing.If we absort too many vehicle emissions, it will affect our body. I know some of the drivers will think this proposal is very trouble, but the government will provide a grace period of three-in-sixty minutes to drivers of all motor vehicles, and the first two taxis at the stands are exempted, so it's a good try for improve the air of Hong Kong.If the drivers support this proposal, the air of Hong Kong will become freshen and cleanse. So I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
ReplyDeleteI think "ban on idling engine" this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong. Because the air pollutants allmost is come from the car. But not only care about the car, it has many major sources of polltion such as forest fires, volcanic eruptions or other natural sourses, the cars make the earth be badly. I think it can solve the problen because when the cars switch on their engine, it release excessive sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and carbon monoxide.
ReplyDeleteSo when the cars are runnung the engine will still on, so that the engine will discharges excessive waste gases; and if the cars are idling the cars still excessivethe waste gases too. And the taix driver waits the passengers, if the switch off their engine in the summer, then the condition will not work too. The passengers wll not want to get in that hot taix.
Finally, the proposal can help the earth but somebody will get less money. So, I don't support the proposal.
I think"ban on idling engine " this proposal can help to improve the air quality condition in Hong Kong.Although the drivers may feel not comfortable, all the people can feel more good and the air can be better.it will release zero gram pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides.Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides will cause headaches, aggravates Asthme and allergies, lung disease and impaired learing.If we absort too many vehicle emissions, it will affect our body.
ReplyDelete"Ban on idling engine"is not only one car must keep this habit everyday.Actually, all the people who drive the car must it yourselves. The governmernt should take a part of people who do not ban on idling engine of drives.
Finally, the proposal can help the earth but somebody will get less money. So, I don't support the proposal.
I think this proposal can help to improve the air quality in Hong Kong. It is because everytime you swhich off the idling engine, it will stop release the global gases like carbon dioxide, it iwll pollute the air.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the driver will feel comfortable when the car is idling and haven't swhich off the idling engine. But it is continued to release global gases. And when the strangers walk nearly to the car, it will make them feel uncomfortable. So if the proposal can be enforced, it will imoprove the air quality and our respiratory system will not be injured
I don't support this proposal, because i think this proposal have many problem .
ReplyDeleteFirstly , many car drivers are not pleased with this proposal there are few points that they hate this policy.
-If they can't use the air-conditioners they will become uncomfortable and some passenger will feel hot. But the important things are the car will let the drivers feel inconvenient and when you turn the engine back on will make more exhaust then will be more air pollution that will violet the proposal purpose.
-The government to remit some car that they can switch on the engine but it will produce a argument that some car drivers will use this remit to argue with the government that is a contradiction.
So that is why I don’t support this proposal.
I think most students who have given comment on this topic are very interested in it. They have lots of ideas and opinions. I like 3C 23's passage best. His argument is convincing and easy to follow. Also, he can provide statistical data to support his viewpoint. Yet, if he can also comment on the government 's chance in successfully carrying out this proposal, the content of his passage will be more complete. Since every stakeholders put their own self-interest in the first position, voices from them are different. That's why the government gives a consultation period of five months for the public to express their viewpoints.

ReplyDeleteI am support the Ban on idling engine. But why I support the Ban on idling engine? It is because our earth sick already, but why our earth will sick? Because we have the environmental pollution, environmental pollution is the contamination of environment which causes disconism, instability, disorder and leaves harmful impact on physical system and on living organism. What kind of pollution? For example, air pollution. The definitions of air pollution are any contamination of the atmosphere that disturbs the natural composition and chemistry of the air, the major sources of air pollution vehicle or manufacturing exhaust. Too much manufacturing exhaust will trap heat in the atmosphere, this call greenhouse gases. Too much greenhouse gases will have the global warming. So we need to change the air quality in Hong Kong
ReplyDeleteIf we have Ban on idling engine, the earth will be heal in coming year, so I am so support the ban on idling engine.
I think the government’s proposal that bans on “idling engine” can help to improving air quality in Hong Kong because nowaday we go outside we will feel hand to breath when we stand near the road, when a running engin car on the road it will releas 4.92 cabon monoxide also a idling car will relaes 4.0 carbon monoxide ,but we turn off the engine there are 0 carbon monoxide .
ReplyDeletei think the school bus driver will not support this , because he need to stay inside car for a very time, in the summer driver will feel hot so when they need to turn on air conditioner they need to turn on the engine first so i think the school bus driver will not support.
although many people don't want to have this rules but we should do this , the air problems in Hong Kong are very serious, when we do this the air of Hong Kong will become freshen and cleanse. So I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
So i will support this 'ban on idling engine'.
I think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment."Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the goverment for drivers to switch off engines while the vehicles are waiting.Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket.
ReplyDeleteA running private car will release 4.92 carbon monoxides; a idling private car will release 4.0 nitrigen oxdies,if they switch of the engine, there are no more carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxdies.
(c)I think Ms.Lau will totally support this proposal,she is the shoe shop owner, the entrance of her shop is facing the street;if a car is parking outside her shop, that car will release many carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxdies, so it will cause some customers will complaint or even leave immediately.
Many people will disapove this proposal, because somne drivers worried that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequently, may leading to extensive wear, also is inconvenient to them.
I think i will support this proposal. It is because i think hong kong air pollution's problem is very troble. We need to be more serious.Most of the air pollution is came from cars.This proposal can let the people know that.If we want to have a good environment to live, we should solve this problem now. Therefore this proposal can let the driver know that we need to improve now
ReplyDeleteI don't support this proposal,because it will produce much more pollution problems.
ReplyDeleteFirstly,for example, a taxi driver in hot summer,when he is waiting for the passenager,he is not willing to stop the engine, so he will keep driving round and round.In this case, the air pollution will become serious.
Secondly,if a vehicle starts the engine frequently,it will produce more pollutant to the air then it is in using, so this''Switch off Iding Vehicle''proposal may lead to more pollutant dispose in the air.
Thirdly, to start and stop the engine frequently, may cause parts fatigue.The driver need to change the vehicle's parts frequently. The wastes will increase the bearing of the landfill. It will lead to land pollution.
Furthermore, the wastes disposed to the landfill may cause toxic leakage. Through rainwater, the toxic substances will go to underground water. It will cause huge damage to the ecosystem.
My own opinion, I suppose to use some clean fuel to run the vehicles or just replace the present with the electrical vehicles than this proposal.
I think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment."Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the goverment for drivers to switch off engines while the vehicles are waiting.Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket.

' Ban on idling engine' is a proposal of HONG KONG. I agree this proposal because it can help the environment become better.
ReplyDeleteHONG KONG is a small city.However, there are many ways are releasing too much carbon dioxide. For examples, there are many peoply drive their cars,vans,trucks for work or do something else.If the drivers can switch off the cars,vans,trucks...when the cars are stoped,we can reduce to release the carbon dioxide. It is healthy for the pedestrians as well.
If all of us do something to protect the world, there will a big difference of the world. If the drivers can switch off their cars for few minutes, it can help protect the enivronment so many.
I think the proposal "Ban on idling engine" can the air quality in Hong Kong effectively. Everyday there are lots of vehicles on the road. If all the vehicles are not turn of the engine when the car stop, then it will release more execsive gas. Then that will affect the air quality and cause the air pollution. But if we did it, there would release less waste gases.
ReplyDeleteIf the proposal "Ban on idling engine" is working effectively in the world, I think the air pollution intex will decrease so fast. It is a good way to solve the problem of air pollution.
Dear Hoi Ching,
ReplyDeleteYou agree to this policy and it can help to lessen the pollution problem. Try to think some measures to ease the conflicts arising from the implementation of this policy.
Mr. Wong S.K.
Dear Kwan Yi,
ReplyDeleteJust like the comment I gave to Hoi Ching, try to think any remedies to ease the conflict between some groups and government when the policy is introduced.
Mr. Wong S.K.
Dear Ho Man,
ReplyDeleteThis policy is good since it can help to lessen the air pollution problem. There may be conflicts among different groups arisen after the introduction of this policy. Try to find a win-win solution to ease those conflicts.
Mr. Wong S.K.
I am support the Ban on idling engine.Because i think Hong kong's air pollution problem is serious. Everyday there are lots of vehicles,cars,taxis on the road. If all the transport do not turn of the engine when the cars stop, then they will release execsive gas!Too much manufacturing exhaust will trap heat in the atmosphere, this call greenhouse gases. Too much greenhouse gases will have the global warming. So we need to change the air quality in Hong Kong.Therefore, I think the government's proposal can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason why i support this proposal.
This is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. If private car is running, emission of carbon monoxide is 4.92. If the car is idling, the emission is 4.0.If the car turn off the engine, the emission of carbon monoxide is 0.
ReplyDeleteTaxi owner and school bus operator would not like this policy. Parents would like this policy.
Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. Air pollution is a serious problem. The Effects of Vehicle Emissions are headaches, lung disease and impaired learning. Ban on idling engine is a proposal from the goverment for the drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Different stakeholders have different opinions. Taxi owner worried that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequetly,would lead to extensive wear and tear. Shoe shop owner likes this policy, because the entrance of her shop is facing the street.

When the private car is running,the emission of carbon monoxide is 4.92.When the car is idling,the emission of carbon monoxide is 4.0.But when the car turns off the engine,emission of carbon monoxide is 0.Some people in our society dislike the inconvenience of having to turn off the engine.Some car owners worried that this will lead to extensive wear and tear of the motor starter.
ReplyDeleteI support this "ban on idling engine" porposal,it is because this porposal can protect Hong Kong people.Hong Kong is place these many people,but less place,so we can easy to smell some bad air,if they start to do this action,it would much more better.
ReplyDeleteI think I will support this proposal .The proposal is good for the environment of Hong Kong
ReplyDeletebecause hong kong has the highest road traffic density in the world and the air pollution that also effect our body, our body will easy get headaches ,aggravates asthma and allergies...And this proposal will make the air quality better
I think I will support this proposal, because this proposal is good for Hong Kong's environment.
ReplyDeleteI think Hong Kong have cars on the road every day and the road are always very busy, but on some road, some cars will just stop and don't turn off the car. That will make many waste gas out and make the air pollution out, so I will support this proposal.
I think I will support this proposal .Ban on idling engine ,Ben will have air pollution in Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. also,this is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting.air pollution have some effects of harmful, will make lungs and airways are immature.
ReplyDeleteI support this "ban on idling engine"porposal, because Hong Kong air pollution is so serious and if the divers switch off the engines while vehicles are waiting car. It's good for the enviornment.
ReplyDeleteHong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world. So they make the air pollution. Air pollution is ageneral term that refers to the emission of harmful substances into the air. Effects of air pollution, have headaches, lung disease, impaired learning. "Ban on idling engine" is a proposal from the government for drivers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Private cars are running 4.92 and idling 4.0 carbon monoxide. All pollutants when engine switched off 0.
ReplyDeleteI will support this proposal. Because the problem in Hong Kong is quiet serious. It's effect our enviornment.
ReplyDeleteWhen the divers switch on the engines while vehicles are waiting, it cause many bad air. If people smell it, they will feel uncomfortable.
And seriously, it may cause cancer.
On the other hand, When the divers switch off the engines while vehicles are waiting, they can save money for insert crude oil.
The high road traffic density traps air pollutants at the streel level. In fact,vehicles are one of the largest source of air pollution in Hong Kong.The effects of vehicle emissions inclucle headache aggravates asthma, allergies,lung disease and impaired learning.Some people in our society dislike the inconvenience of having to turn of the engine with the keys every time they have to wait for the traffic light to change.
ReplyDeleteFor those 3D students who have made an effort to write blog, I appreciate their good attempt. Yet, most of you actually can lengthen your writings by including more content. For example, you may also mention how many different stakeholders only show concern about their own interest, instead of the interest of the whole public. The government 's attempt in working out this proposal may not be a smooth one as opposition voices may come from different sectors of the society.
ReplyDeleteI think i will support this proposal,"Ban on idling engine " is a good and effective way to protect the environment.' Ban on idling engine is a proposal from the government for dirvers to switch off engines while vehicles are waiting. Drivers who leave their engines idle will be served with a $320 fixed penalty ticket.Firstly, if we idling a private car, it will release about 4.0gram carbon monoxide per minute and 0.2gram nitrogen oxides per minute. if we switch off the engines, all pollutants will not release any more.Secondly, emission from vehicle can cause headaches, lung disease, heart disease or etc. It is especially for children because their lungs is immature so that are more easy to get these problem.But i think the taxi owner or school bus drivers will not response to this proposal because they will worry that after the ban they have to switch off and restart the engines frequely, leading to extensive wear and tear of the motor starter and it isn't comfort for them to sit inside the car ina hot summer weather without an air-condition.

I think the goverment's proposal that bans on"idling engine"can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
ReplyDeleteAir pollution is a general term that refers to the emission of harmful substances into the air .Then these substances will make human unhealthy.However,air pollution in Hong Kong is very serious.The main source is the intensity of traffic.If A private car is runing,it will emission 4.92 gram carbon monoxide and 0.68 gram nitrogen oxides per minute.When the private car is idling wil emission 4.0 gram carbon monoxide and 0.2 gram nitrogen oxides per minute.You can see that no much changes the pollutants produced by the car is runing and idlling If the car switched off will not emission any pollutants .However many taxi drivers in Hong Kong dislike this proposal,because they think is very inconvenient and they may be earned less money so that they will not obey this proposal.I think the proposal is very good ,it have the fine system that the taxi drivers will obey this proposal and then emissions from the cars will reduce.Moreover,Emissions from the car caused many diseases .Therefore,I think this proposal will improve air quality in Hong Kong and we will have a healthy body.
I think I will support the government to implement this proposal: Ban on idling engine" Because I think this plan is good for a lot of people, although that scheme is good for our Earth. Why? It is bceause if we indraft too many exhaust gas, it will effect our life. Also our health's problem. But the most big problem, I think that is about our Earth. As our Earth is started to have a greenhouse effect. And beside our Earth is started to appear greenhouse effect, that is made by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases that have water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The car will release the greenhouse gases when it still on. And some people donlt turn off the car because they don't want the car that be too hot when they come back to the car. So, they will turn on the car and turn on the air-condition to keep the temperaturn that inside the car.As air-conditioner will prodect the chemical call freon.
ReplyDeleteAnd it will destroy the atmosphere. So, I will support this proposal.
Yes,I very support this proposal"Ban on idling engine".Hong Kong have many pollution.Air pollution also is a serious problem in Hong Kong.
ReplyDeleteWhy there are a serious problem in Hong Kong?First of all,fossil fuel.Fossil fuel is a non-renewable energy.It will release carbon dioxide.The fuel of motor car also is fossil fuel.When we Ban on idling engine,we can release less carbon dioxide.Do you think it is a good measure to save our world?I think it is.
Secondly,I know many motor car driver think Ban on idling engine is a troublesome thing.But,when you are enjoying the cool air in your own car,the people who are outside your car will feel toilsome.I know it is not easy for the motor car driver.But it is good for our world!
I will support this proposal"Ban on idling engine",because Hong Kong has the heightest road traffic density in the world,also the car will emission the harmful substance into the air, for examplr sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides...and it make some effect of the emissions, for example, headaches, impaired learning...It make the shoe shop owner feel unconfortable, because the shoe shop entrance is facing the street, so the somke will make the shoe shop owner inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteI support this proposal. First, I think this is good for our environment and the earth. It is because this can help release lese toxic gas from the cars.
ReplyDeleteThe drivers need to switch off the idling vehicles within three minutes. May be These rules will bring so problem for us for example, the taxi driver need to drive the passenger to the place that they went to go. The car will be come hotter because of the driver switches off the vehicle and the air conditioner will be switches off at same time. The passenger may choice to take another taxi.
But the proposal is good for the environment, it help to release less greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. It can help retard global warming.
Around off all the point, I support this proposal.
I think ban on idling engine is good for us. It is because this may cause air pollution. It emissions of harmful substances into air. The harmful substances such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide, etc. These will effect our healthy and cause headaches and ling disease. According to the survey of comparison of emissions while vehicles running and idling, the emission of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of a running private car are 4.92 and 0.68. However, the emission of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of an idling private car are 4.0 and 0.2. We can see that an idling private car emission of harmful substances is nearly to a running private car. Therefore, no one can deny the hard fact that the idling cars are causing air pollution. Judging from the above, it is obvious that the government should ban on idling engine. It is surely can help in improving air quality in Hong Kong.
ReplyDelete我認為這個計劃是不是真的對我們有利。這是去想somebaby，誰是司機，知道如果你打開和關閉在幾分鐘的車，會車很容易打破，而且將會有更多的有害氣體，如二氧化硫，氮氧化物，臭氧，一氧化碳等。
ReplyDeleteMany drivers in Hong Kong leave the engines of their vehicles idling while they are waiting. Other than those who do so for reasons acceptable to the public (for example, drivers of emergency vehicles who keep the engines of their vehicles running while stationary for operational reasons and drivers of goods vehicles with a built-in refrigerator carrying frozen foods), most others leave their engines on to keep the air-conditioning running for the comfort of themselves, particularly during hot weather, at the expenses of the air quality.
ReplyDeleteHong Kong is facing two air pollution problems: street-level pollution and ambient air pollution. The former is mainly caused by the intensity of vehicles in our dense urban environment and the latter by both local and regional emission sources. To improve air quality, we have to tackle both problems head on.
Besides, Hong Kong has the highest road traffic density in the world.We have about 550 000 vehicles with a total road length of only 2000 km.The high road traffic density, together with the high urban density, impedes air pollutant dispersion and traps air pollutants at the street level. Thurs, I support to ban Idling Vehicles with Running Engines, and provide a Green Generation.
Edith 3C(15), I would like to agree with your opinion but I wonder why you didn't write in English? There are some words I cannot understand.
