| Summary 內容: | I. Global News Chat: Is the upcoming MSW Charging Policy just a way to test the public creativity in shirking accountability? Navigating challenges toward public engagement and purpose-orienting implementation. 都市固體廢物收費方案將於八月實施，要求全港所有界別按「污染者自付」原則繳交垃圾收費。垃圾收費不單增加我們日常生活的開支，更衍生出各方面的爭議及挑戰，例如非法傾倒廢物和執法困難。面對全新的環保政策，我們應該如何適應呢？這次，我們邀請到倒垃圾學堂 (@wastedisposalacademy) 的代表、清潔員和環保人士大便妹 (@imsheeppoo) 和我們分享和交流，從不同的角度了解這個切身的議題。 如果你對於垃圾收費和相關議題有任何看法和經驗，歡迎你一起參與討論。期待你的分享，一起為新的廢物收費政策做好準備！ The Municipal Solid Waste Charging (MSW charging) Bill has received its third reading from the Legislative Council in Hong Kong, making it mandatory for all sectors to pay charges for the quantity of waste they dispose of. The implementation date has been postponed to August 1, 2024, after nearly 20 years of discussion in the Council since 2005. In this session, our student host, Lily, will lead us in evaluating the efficacy of the policy and engaging in a collaborative discussion with a representative from the Waste Disposal Academy, cleaners, and an environmentalist. We will assess its potential opportunities and challenges, including the risk of fly-tipping, issues with enforcement and compliance, and the lack of emphasis on reducing resource consumption. Join us to prepare for the new waste charging policy!
