5. Every primary and secondary school is actively promoting environmental education through the formal curriculum and extra-curricular activities. For example, over 200 schools have participated in the Student Environmental Ambassador Scheme and some 250 schools in schemes to collect waste paper for recycling. We also see an encouraging trend that schools are organising environmental activities which involve greater participation of students such as greening the school ground and saving energy and water. This indicates that schools are putting more emphasis on environmental education at both the primary and secondary levels.

(b)
how the Government interprets the stipulation in Article 93 of the Basic Law of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the SAR Government) that judges and other members of the judiciary may all remain in employment; whether they need to be invited by the SAR Government or some other organisations before they can continue to serve in the SAR Government; and whether those who remain in employment will be able to retain their original posts; and
whether, in handling the above issue, the Government will request the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group to explain the meaning of "may all remain in employment"; if not, why not?
