CE candidates accept CAN’s “clean air ballots” and pledge to improve air quality
Last Friday, CAN presented a "Clean Air Ballot” and a big black lung to four Chief Executive (CE) candidates - Albert Ho, Frederick Fung, C.Y. Leung and Henry Tang at a public forum organized by Civic Exchange and six other organizations at Hong Kong University. Although we can’t vote for a new CE, the big ballot represents our wish for candidates to improve the air in Hong Kong when they become our next CE. The big black lung symbolizes the poor health that Hong Kong citizens suffer from as a result of air pollution. CAN was eager to express our disappointment at the current administration under the leadership of Donald Tsang, who has repeatedly defeated the expectations of the Hong Kong people by delaying the revision of the Air Quality Objectives (AQOs) and failing to tackle air pollution decisively. All candidates accepted the ballots and expressed their concern about air pollution. For more information, please refer to our press release and these news clippings (Chinese only). |

Dark Christmas – an occasion to stand up and say 'NO' to air pollution!
Have you ever dreamt of a white Christmas – clean, fresh air that is not filled with smoky and toxic pollutants? Do you worry that your lungs look just like the one we presented to the CE candidates – black and unhealthy? Come join Black Santa Claus on December 17th and protest against the filthy air of Hong Kong! This Saturday, we will carry black balloons filled with dirty air from Causeway Bay all the way to the CE’s residence in Central and share with Donald Tsang the toxic air we ourselves are forced to breathe every day. Get involved in our clean air campaign this Christmas and give the precious gift of health to Hong Kong and our next generation.
