Exhibition on environmental protection
**
A two-day exhibition on achievements made on the environmental front in the past 10 years as well as goals set for the coming years by the Government will be put up at the Landmark starting tomorrow (Wednesday).
The event is organised by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to mark its 10th year of service to the community.
"The exhibits will include environmental milestones made since 1986, when the department was set up," EPD's Assistant Director, Mr John Boxall, said.
Among the milestones are the declaration of water control zones, commissioning of various waste facilities, introduction of anti-pollution legislation and the setting up of Local Control Offices.
Also on display are issues that need to be addressed in the coming years, which include the enactment of environmental impact assessment legislation, further controls on vehicle emissions and formulation of strategies for waste reduction.
"We are certainly not being complacent as much more still needs to be done in tackling our environmental problems," Mr Boxall said.
The exhibition will also be staged in Empire Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui on April 27 and 28.
Members of the public will also have an opportunity to understand pollution problems as well as work being carried out by the EPD in protecting their living environment through visits to the department's Local Control Offices (LCOs) on their open days.
