In the new millennium the people, councils and companies of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must become knowledgeable about environmental issues, work together to overcome the symptoms which have led to the existing problems, and to formulate ideal and practical alternatives to produce a new lifestyle. The inherent decision making process in Hong Kong has continually alienated whole sectors of the community. A continuous unfounded belief by the Administration that it holds all the answers in respect to the environmental problems in Hong Kong has led to the present intolerable situation. A new foundation must be created within which the whole population can build a sustainable future together, and proactive conclusions can be drawn based on an exchange of views from all citizens. Only our instinct for mutual aid will save life on earth at this critical time.
All decisions are environmental decisions.
Each issue requires a collective survey, analysis and plan, from the future urban design of the old Kai Tak Airport, through the replacement of diesel by liquefied petroleum gas, to the saving of the dolphins and the journey to work. The fundamental basis for the development of solutions in respect to all problems must be sustainability. It is inevitable that there will be a broadening of the democratic base to look at the available resources and to propose options and changes. On Shan New Town or the industrial warehouse district of Kwai Chung. To attain the sustainable development of Hong Kong all the citizens must have a right to attain the information and resources required in meeting their needs.
