Pollution is ruining Hong Kong’s reputation as the City of Lights.
Sometimes, the smog is so thick that you cannot see anything across
the harbour.
I talked to several foreigners who complained about Hong Kong’s pollution
problem.
Nowadays people don’t pay enough attention to the environment. Vehicle
exhaust fumes and smoke from factories across the border are the main
causes of air pollution in Hong Kong.
The
community should work together with the government to make Hong Kong
a better place to live in. This will also attract more tourists and
boost the economy.
