COMMITTEE CONSIDERS +CLEAN+ IDEAS FROM ABROAD *****
FRESH CAMPAIGN IDEAS FROM OVERSEAS WERE THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AT TODAY'S (THURSDAY) MEETING OF THE JOINT URBAN AND REGIONAL COUNCIL KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN COMMITTEE.
THEY WERE BROUGHT BACK TO HONG KONG BY THE COMMITTEE'S CHAIRMAN, MR WALTER SULKE, AFTER A RECENT TOUR OF AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
MOST OF THE IDEAS INTRODUCED BY MR SULKE WERE ANTI-LITTER CAMPAIGNERS IN THOSE COUNTRIES USED TO BROADEN COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE SUPPORT.
ONE SUCH MEASURE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF APPLIED IN HONG KONG WOULD HAVE LARGE CORPORATIONS +ADOPTING+ PUBLIC PLACES LIKE STATUE SQUARE AND TAKING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KEEPING THEM CLEAN.
MR SULKE FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT AS IN OTHER COUNTRIES REPRESENTATIVES FROM INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE BE MORE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN CAMPAIGN DECISION-MAKING.
THE COMMITTEE TOOK NO FIRM DECISIONS ON THE PROPOSALS BUT DECIDED TO CONSIDER THEM FOR USE IN FUTURE CAMPAIGN.
THEY DID ENDORSE, HOWEVER, A SIX-PHASE OPERATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR 1987-88 WHICH WAS EARLIER APPROVED BY THE URBAN COUNCIL KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN COMMITTEE.
