總幹事致辭 2008 (中文版)
香港地球之友 25週年
香港地球之友致力透過推動政府、企業和公眾，共建可持續發展的環保政策、營商方式和生活形態，以保護香港及鄰近地區的環境為目標。
盤古初開
香港地球之友盤古初開於1983年，由當時任職大律師的司徒蓮女士 (Linda Sidddall) 創立。初期並沒有固定會址，參與的也是另有正職的義工，所有環保大計，就在她的律師事務所內磋商。縱使資源不多，但絲毫沒令人卻步，反而很快便凝聚了一群有心的「綠色之士」，當中包括服務年資最長的白嘉倫女士(Karen Barretto)，她既任董事局成員，多年來也無休地義務參與。
本會的首個會址，是位處中環雲咸街的一個小閣樓。由於樓底有限，身型較高的來賓，往往要「俯首鞠躬」。而職員及訪客，亦要時刻小心翼翼放輕腳步，否則腳步震動木地板的「威力」，足以影響電腦硬碟，使檔案即時流失。隨著本會的發展，成立七年後，便從小閣樓遷往面積大三倍的新會址(即現時會址)。十八年前，大家均覺得這個「新」辦公室非常寬敞，但團隊已由當年的五人擴展至目前的十七人，擠迫的情況再度湧現，需要物色新會址了。
立足本土，放眼世界
香港地球之友以「反核」為首個關注議題，接著還有保護臭氧層、及保護熱帶雨林等，以喚起香港市民對全球環境問題的關注。我們對本土議題當然同樣重視，初期工作包括研究鉛毒污染對兒童的影響，成功倡導政府在九十年代初全面取締含鉛汽油。此外，使用殺蟲劑、保育郊野公園、空氣污染、保護維港、廢物等，也是我們關注的議題。藉著本會有效的公眾教育及環保政策游說，獲不同社會階層支持，聲譽和口碑亦日漸提升；部份董事局成員及職員，更獲邀出任政府重要的諮詢委員會及小組成員，為本地環境政策及事務提供意見。
成立初期，本會更是第一個與香港政府「對簿公堂」的環保團體，以阻止有關當局批准私人發展商於郊野公園開展工程。該次勝利對本會而言是一支重要的強心針，讓我們更有信心迎接往後複雜的新挑戰，例如研究本港的生態足印、風力發電的潛力、令發展商撤回拆卸7棟各40層高但從未入住的紅灣半島、及推出全港首個廢物分類及回收計劃等。 (你可於以下網址，進一步了解本會的工作：http://www.foe.org.hk/).
雖然香港市民的環保意識日漸提高，但環境質素卻沒有因此而改善，尤其在空氣和廢物兩方面，更是乏善可陳。因此，本會近年把焦點及資源，集中在本土環境問題上，指望透過改變市民日常的生活態度，令港人肥大的生態足印也來「瘦身」，達致可持續發展的遠景。
身體力行
四份之一個世紀以來，香港地球之友所關注的議題及參與的環境事務涵蓋甚廣 — 從政策游說到大眾植樹，或從國際論壇上發表演說到學校講座，都是我們的恆常工作。以下為部份項目，可讓大家溫故知新：
改善空氣污染，乃本會的重點工作。目前香港仍缺乏相關的法例及政策，有效控制交通及電廠的污染物排放，而且市民大眾對節能惜電的意識依然偏低。為改善本地的空氣質素，我們曾倡導以下項目：
- 「無鉛汽油運動」，提倡全面取締含鉛汽油
- 「清新空氣運動」，檢舉道路上噴出過量黑煙的車輛
- 「這個夏天不太冷」，敦促公共場所的管理人，把室內空調溫度調至合適水平
- 「知慳惜電」節能運動，鼓勵家庭用戶及商界，節約能源，減少浪費電力
- 「夠照就好」熄燈運動，引領城市反思過度而且不必要的照明，使空氣污染加劇
廢物議題 香港的廢物量驚人，有必要盡快制定生產者責任條例。政府曾提議興建巨型焚化爐，認為可「一爐永逸」，卻沒有提出相應的減廢措施，實非真正有效解決問題的方法。過往我們曾經：
- 在學校椎行首個廢紙回收行動，鼓勵學生回收廢紙循環再造
- 推出具創意的分類回收設施及回收行動，鼓勵市民分類回收家居廢物
- 推行「收養屋邨計劃」，向公共屋村居民推廣綠色生活
- 透過「常哦行動」，回收月餅罐之餘，更推動月餅生產商履行生產者責任，採用簡約包裝，以及敦促政府就生產者責任立法
- 推行「不套不快 — 減用即棄筷」運動，提醒社會反思即棄文化
- 常設的回收項目：包括舊衣回收、包裝發泡膠回收計劃、碳粉匣回收計劃、光碟回收計劃等
社區環保活動 旨在推動商界及學校，從日常生活出發，身體力行實踐環保
重點項目：
- 綠化環境：「為地球植樹」、「企業植林計劃」、「綠野先鋒」
- 教育下一代愛護環境：「愛地球 探索家」
- 推動綠色營商：「Earth Partner」計劃、「綠色聖誕」
中國項目
自1992年起，在本會理事及前總幹事吳方笑薇女士的領導之下，香港地球之友於內地展開綠色長征。在拓展初期，吳女士親自把環保訊息，傳遍內地十六個不同省份和城市，接觸近百萬民眾。透過舉辦以農村婦女為對象的環保工作坊，以及在農村學校進行演講，吳女士成功將非政府組織的文化及倡導運動的技巧，授予一群正在茁壯成長的綠色領袖，以及有志投身環保工作的年輕人。從2003年起，本會與陝西的婦女農戶合作開展「向日葵行動」，成功協助過千名黃土高原上的農村婦女安裝沼氣設施，推廣可再生能源。2008年起啟動的「平步青雲講壇」，旨在為珠三角一帶的大學生，提供綠色就業指南。本會近期開展的River Partners 計劃，將在東江源頭建設「香港林」。東江每日為香港及廣州地區的四千萬市民提供飲用水，我們希望東江上游下游可以攜手合作，同心保護水源及保育生態。
展望未來
香港地球之友將繼續時刻放眼八方，倡導社會一同關心較迫切的環境議題，把接觸面滲透至社會不同範疇。
我們亦會繼續開拓與專上學府、及各專業團體之間的合作機會，藉此更有效地對應越見複雜的環境問題。並且透過本會倡導的環境運動和項目，啟發公眾、政府官員、商界領袖反思目前的狀況，改變大家認為理所當然的慣性思維。
空氣和氣侯議題、以及資源管理將是本會繼續積極關注的重點。但我們更著力的，是讓更多公眾理解基礎核心，乃人與環境的相互關係。只要大家在日常生活中稍作調整，樸實的生活態度，對環境有著正面的幫助，紓解污染，資源也得以善用。這樣，社會才生生不息，人類才可延續千秋萬代。
二十五年來，香港地球之友的綠色足跡遍及本地及國內多個地方。作為愛護環境的「地球之友」，我們會繼續堅守綠色使命、謹守崗位並履行把關者的本份、及與社會各界保持良好的伙伴關係。
欲望與貪念緣於無止境的追求，但所造成的環境破壞，正是大家目前所承受的後果。為了可持續發展的遠景，過去已有不少界別及單位與我們攜手合作踏出環保第一步，我們樂於見到更多坐言起行的「地球之友」。
2009年將是本會踏入另一個二十五年的新開始。環保根本就是生活的一部份，我們誠邀您快來行動，踏出第一步。

Director's message 2008 (English version)
25 years of Friends of the Earth (HK)
Friends of the Earth (HK) is dedicated to protecting the environment locally and regionally by engaging government, business, society in promoting solutions to create environmentally sustainable public policies, business practices and lifestyles.
How it started
Friends of the Earth (HK) was founded by Linda Siddall, a barrister by profession. Without even an office, volunteers met at the founder’s law chambers to discuss green ideas. However being a poor non-profit organization did not scare people off, instead it immediately attracted a growing group of dedicated supporters including Karen Barretto, FoE (HK)’s longest serving volunteer who continues today as a Board member.
The fledgling organisation’s first office was in Wyndham Street on the mezzanine floor with therefore a rather low ceiling, so all tall persons who came to the office had to bow to us. Every staff person and visitor was also reminded to walk lightly on the office’s wooden floor to avoid the vibrations that could shock the hard disks of our computers to delete all our hard work. Within 7 years growth forced the organization to move to an office three times larger. The staff found it very spacious 18 years ago, but now we are dreadfully cramped again as our team has grown from five to 17. A larger office is urgently needed.
Think globally act locally
FoE (HK) chose anti-nuclear issues as its first environmental topic, followed on the international front by campaigns for saving the ozone layer and protecting rainforests to make local people aware of important global issues. Local issues were also embraced, the first being a campaign highlighting lead poisoning in children, which led to the phasing out of leaded petrol all over Hong Kong in the early 90s. Campaigns on pesticide use, country park protection, air pollution, save our harbour, and waste issues followed. With the success of our government lobbying and public education work, FoE (HK) enhanced its credibility and earned ever greater support from key stakeholders in the community, as a result of which some members of the board and staff were appointed by government to sit on important councils and committees to give advice on environmental policies.
In those early days FoE (HK) also became the first green NGO to bring an environmental court case against the government, to prevent it allowing private encroachment into country park lands. Winning built up the group’s credentials and confidence to embark on other new challenges such as studying Hong Kong’s ecological footprint; exploring Hong Kong’s wind energy intensity; halting the demolition of seven brand new 40-storey residential blocks; and advocating the first waste sorting and recycling programme. [You can read about it all in more detail on our website http://www.foe.org.hk/]
As local environmental awareness grew and Hong Kong’s environment got worse in many respects (especially air quality and waste), FoE (HK) put more resources into the most pressing local environmental issues with the long term aim of behavioural change to shrink our ecological footprint and make this city and planet sustainable.
Our range of actions
In a quarter of a century, FoE (HK) has embarked on a huge range of issues and activities from government policy lobbying and community tree planting to speaking at international forums and providing green education in school classrooms. Below, highlights of some of the main areas:
Air pollution has stayed high on the list of priorities, still lacking proper legislation and policies to deal with high emissions from transport and energy sectors, and suffering from low public awareness of energy conservation. Campaign Highlights:
- Lead-free Campaign to lobby the phasing out leaded petrol
- Clean Air Campaign to get rid of smoky vehicles
- Thermal Crime Campaign to urge the operators of public venues to adjust their over-cooled indoor environment
- Power Smart Campaign to encourage the business sector and households to conserve energy
- Dim it Lights Out Campaign to address the excessive use of lighting in the city that has exacerbated air pollution
Waste The vast waste Hong Kong produces urgently requires legislation on Producer Responsibility. Government tries to address the problem via incineration, an end-of-pipe solution, with little emphasis on waste avoidance measures to tackle the problem at source. Campaign Highlights:
- Waste paper recycling for schools to facilitate students to recycle their used paper
- Sort and Recycle programme - an innovative system for residents to recycle their household recyclables
- Adopt a Housing Estate - motivating public housing residents to live with a green lifestyle
- Moon-kick Action - facilitating moon cake boxes recycling, as well as lobbying moon cake producers to reduce packaging waste and government to develop legislation on Producer Responsibility
- Green Delights in Estates to establish waste separation systems on every floor of public housing estates and encourage residents to establish the habit of waste separation for recycling
- Disposable Chopsticks Campaign to address the disposable culture prevailing in Hong Kong
- Our regular recycling programmes to facilitate the public to reuse or recycle used clothes, foam (expanded polystyrene), printer cartridges, and CDs
Community programmes aimed at networking with the business sector and school students to integrate environmental practices into everyday life. Highlights:
- To green our environment: Plant for the Earth, Corporate Afforestation Scheme, Tree Planting Challenge
- To educate students through an outreach exploring programme: Eco-explorer
- To facilitate the business sector: Earth Partner, Green Christmas Campaign
China
Since 1992 under the leadership of Board of Governor and former Director Mrs. Mei Ng, FoE (HK) embarked on its Green Long March in China. In the early phase of China’s green awakening, Mrs. Ng spread the green message to 16 provinces and cities in China, reaching out to nearly a million people. From organizing the training of grassroot women and speaking at village school environmental education workshops to engaging China’s senior officials, Mei Ng succeeded in transferring NGO culture and advocacy skills to budding green leaders and aspiring green youth. Since 2003, the Sunflower Project, in partnership with Shaanxi Green Mother Volunteers, has empowered thousands of village women to install village household biogas on the arid Yellow Plateau. The Green Pathfinders Forum, launched in Guangzhou in 2008, aims to inspire Pearl River Delta youth to pursue green careers and environmental community service. Recently, FoE (HK) launched the River Partners (Hong Kong Forest) Project to rally upstream downstream partnership and enhance water catchment at the source of the Dongjiang River, which supplies drinking water for over 40 million people living in downstream Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Looking ahead
FoE (HK) will continue to turn the spotlight on one issue after another, to keep our many pressing environmental problems high on the agenda of this city, and to reach every sector of society.
We will continue seeking opportunities to partner with tertiary institutions and professional bodies to deal effectively with issues which are getting more and more complex in today’s society. We will keep integrating an element of “Rethink” into our campaigns and projects to catalyze change in the mindset of individuals, government officials and business leaders.
Air and Climate, as well as Resource Management will still be our key focus areas. However our overall goal is to help more and more people accept the rationale that by adopting a simpler lifestyle they can have a positive impact on the environment and even on the survival of humankind.
Friends of the Earth (HK)’s footprint has left green marks in many areas of Hong Kong and the Mainland in the quarter of a century since 1983. We will remain a green catalyst, a watchdog and a friendly earth partner for all in our society. We have already held the hands of many people making their first steps on the bumpy path to a sustainable planet, and stand ready to help many more. To all of you we say: Join us! Keep walking this path to sustainability with us! The easy road of complacency and greed does not lead to any good outcome!
2009 is the beginning of another 25 years of FoE (HK). Environmental protection is indeed part of our daily life. We sincerely invite you to take part. Please act now!
Thank you
The organisation that grew from a lone environmental voice 25 years ago to today’s mature campaigning success story owes many a big “thank you” to those who made it possible, including to all our volunteers, members, donors, supporters and sponsoring organizations.We would like to give our particular thanks to the following:
Founder: Ms Linda Siddall

Mr. Edwin Lau
Director, Friends of the Earth (HK)
Friends of the Earth (HK) is dedicated to protecting the environment locally and regionally by engaging government, business, society in promoting solutions to create environmentally sustainable public policies, business practices and lifestyles.
How it started
Friends of the Earth (HK) was founded by Linda Siddall, a barrister by profession. Without even an office, volunteers met at the founder’s law chambers to discuss green ideas. However being a poor non-profit organization did not scare people off, instead it immediately attracted a growing group of dedicated supporters including Karen Barretto, FoE (HK)’s longest serving volunteer who continues today as a Board member.
The fledgling organisation’s first office was in Wyndham Street on the mezzanine floor with therefore a rather low ceiling, so all tall persons who came to the office had to bow to us. Every staff person and visitor was also reminded to walk lightly on the office’s wooden floor to avoid the vibrations that could shock the hard disks of our computers to delete all our hard work. Within 7 years growth forced the organization to move to an office three times larger. The staff found it very spacious 18 years ago, but now we are dreadfully cramped again as our team has grown from five to 17. A larger office is urgently needed.
Think globally act locally
FoE (HK) chose anti-nuclear issues as its first environmental topic, followed on the international front by campaigns for saving the ozone layer and protecting rainforests to make local people aware of important global issues. Local issues were also embraced, the first being a campaign highlighting lead poisoning in children, which led to the phasing out of leaded petrol all over Hong Kong in the early 90s. Campaigns on pesticide use, country park protection, air pollution, save our harbour, and waste issues followed. With the success of our government lobbying and public education work, FoE (HK) enhanced its credibility and earned ever greater support from key stakeholders in the community, as a result of which some members of the board and staff were appointed by government to sit on important councils and committees to give advice on environmental policies.
In those early days FoE (HK) also became the first green NGO to bring an environmental court case against the government, to prevent it allowing private encroachment into country park lands. Winning built up the group’s credentials and confidence to embark on other new challenges such as studying Hong Kong’s ecological footprint; exploring Hong Kong’s wind energy intensity; halting the demolition of seven brand new 40-storey residential blocks; and advocating the first waste sorting and recycling programme. [You can read about it all in more detail on our website http://www.foe.org.hk/]
As local environmental awareness grew and Hong Kong’s environment got worse in many respects (especially air quality and waste), FoE (HK) put more resources into the most pressing local environmental issues with the long term aim of behavioural change to shrink our ecological footprint and make this city and planet sustainable.
Our range of actions
In a quarter of a century, FoE (HK) has embarked on a huge range of issues and activities from government policy lobbying and community tree planting to speaking at international forums and providing green education in school classrooms. Below, highlights of some of the main areas:
Air pollution has stayed high on the list of priorities, still lacking proper legislation and policies to deal with high emissions from transport and energy sectors, and suffering from low public awareness of energy conservation. Campaign Highlights:
- Lead-free Campaign to lobby the phasing out leaded petrol
- Clean Air Campaign to get rid of smoky vehicles
- Thermal Crime Campaign to urge the operators of public venues to adjust their over-cooled indoor environment
- Power Smart Campaign to encourage the business sector and households to conserve energy
- Dim it Lights Out Campaign to address the excessive use of lighting in the city that has exacerbated air pollution
Waste The vast waste Hong Kong produces urgently requires legislation on Producer Responsibility. Government tries to address the problem via incineration, an end-of-pipe solution, with little emphasis on waste avoidance measures to tackle the problem at source. Campaign Highlights:
- Waste paper recycling for schools to facilitate students to recycle their used paper
- Sort and Recycle programme - an innovative system for residents to recycle their household recyclables
- Adopt a Housing Estate - motivating public housing residents to live with a green lifestyle
- Moon-kick Action - facilitating moon cake boxes recycling, as well as lobbying moon cake producers to reduce packaging waste and government to develop legislation on Producer Responsibility
- Green Delights in Estates to establish waste separation systems on every floor of public housing estates and encourage residents to establish the habit of waste separation for recycling
- Disposable Chopsticks Campaign to address the disposable culture prevailing in Hong Kong
- Our regular recycling programmes to facilitate the public to reuse or recycle used clothes, foam (expanded polystyrene), printer cartridges, and CDs
Community programmes aimed at networking with the business sector and school students to integrate environmental practices into everyday life. Highlights:
- To green our environment: Plant for the Earth, Corporate Afforestation Scheme, Tree Planting Challenge
- To educate students through an outreach exploring programme: Eco-explorer
- To facilitate the business sector: Earth Partner, Green Christmas Campaign
China
Since 1992 under the leadership of Board of Governor and former Director Mrs. Mei Ng, FoE (HK) embarked on its Green Long March in China. In the early phase of China’s green awakening, Mrs. Ng spread the green message to 16 provinces and cities in China, reaching out to nearly a million people. From organizing the training of grassroot women and speaking at village school environmental education workshops to engaging China’s senior officials, Mei Ng succeeded in transferring NGO culture and advocacy skills to budding green leaders and aspiring green youth. Since 2003, the Sunflower Project, in partnership with Shaanxi Green Mother Volunteers, has empowered thousands of village women to install village household biogas on the arid Yellow Plateau. The Green Pathfinders Forum, launched in Guangzhou in 2008, aims to inspire Pearl River Delta youth to pursue green careers and environmental community service. Recently, FoE (HK) launched the River Partners (Hong Kong Forest) Project to rally upstream downstream partnership and enhance water catchment at the source of the Dongjiang River, which supplies drinking water for over 40 million people living in downstream Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Looking ahead
FoE (HK) will continue to turn the spotlight on one issue after another, to keep our many pressing environmental problems high on the agenda of this city, and to reach every sector of society.
We will continue seeking opportunities to partner with tertiary institutions and professional bodies to deal effectively with issues which are getting more and more complex in today’s society. We will keep integrating an element of “Rethink” into our campaigns and projects to catalyze change in the mindset of individuals, government officials and business leaders.
Air and Climate, as well as Resource Management will still be our key focus areas. However our overall goal is to help more and more people accept the rationale that by adopting a simpler lifestyle they can have a positive impact on the environment and even on the survival of humankind.
Friends of the Earth (HK)’s footprint has left green marks in many areas of Hong Kong and the Mainland in the quarter of a century since 1983. We will remain a green catalyst, a watchdog and a friendly earth partner for all in our society. We have already held the hands of many people making their first steps on the bumpy path to a sustainable planet, and stand ready to help many more. To all of you we say: Join us! Keep walking this path to sustainability with us! The easy road of complacency and greed does not lead to any good outcome!
2009 is the beginning of another 25 years of FoE (HK). Environmental protection is indeed part of our daily life. We sincerely invite you to take part. Please act now!
Thank you
The organisation that grew from a lone environmental voice 25 years ago to today’s mature campaigning success story owes many a big “thank you” to those who made it possible, including to all our volunteers, members, donors, supporters and sponsoring organizations.We would like to give our particular thanks to the following:
