支持空調節能運動
舉報「城市雪房」


(2005/6/5) 香港地球之友發出「通輯令」,呼籲全港市民充當線眼,舉報空調溫度過冷的室內場所,向犯下「冷罪行」的機構施壓,希望為香港洗脫全球至凍室溫的惡名。目前被投訴過冷的地方有香港藝術中心、巴士公司、電影院,公共及私人屋苑大堂等。

香港地球之友自上周推出「這個夏不太冷」空調運動以來,收到不少市民投訴公共場所經常「凍到騰騰震」,情況猶如「城市雪房」。空調過冷既令人容易患上感冒、肩周炎、風濕、關節炎等「冷氣病」,又浪費能源,堪稱「冷罪行」。香港地球之友呼籲市民舉報,待查証屬實,有關機構的名稱將被公佈於該會的「城市雪房」黑名單內。

該會初步發現,電影院、巴士、離島線渡海輪、茶餐廳、甚至屋苑大堂,都是「城市雪房」的黑點。其中私人屋苑泓景臺,第六座大樓的大堂溫度便低至18度。灣仔區議會主席黃英琦亦對本會說,她日前到香港藝術中心觀賞表演時,便冷得要蓋上披肩。

香港地球之友環境事務經理朱漢強指出,深圳市政府自去年起要求各商場、賓館的空調溫度不得低過攝氏廿五度,初犯者會遭到口頭警告,再犯則被公布商號名稱,受到輿論「唱衰」。

舉報者可致電該會2528-5588,或上香港地球之友網頁填寫網上表格告知詳情:「城市雪房」名稱、寒冷程度、該場所有沒有回應投訴等。

Reduce paper use and promote paper recycling
If fewer trees are cut down to produce paper, we will have more trees to absorb CO2 which is the gas implicated in global warming.
少砍伐樹木, 幫助減低溫室效應. 據資料顯示, 每公頃森林每日能吸收一公噸的二氧化碳, 放出0.73公噸的氧氣.


Choose electrical appliances with an Energy Efficiency Label
改用能源效益標籤屬於第一級別的電器, 可大大減少電力消耗. 第一級別的雪櫃比普通雪櫃省電35%, 儲水式熱水爐可減少25%耗電量, 第一級別的洗衣機則可以減少用電20%等.


Energy saving
Make sure all your electrical appliances are switched off, instead of just being in standby mode, when you leave the room
睡覺前把不用的電視, 電腦, 微波爐等電器的電源關上, 比起設於備用狀態更加省電.


Keep the room temperature at 25.5 C
Electricity consumption is lowed by 1.5% for every degree Celsius increase in the thermostat
原來每調高1度空調, 一年可以節省1.5%耗電量


When you order a take away,
bring your carrier or reusable container. This helps to reduce non-biodegradable Styrofoam packaging.


Promote paperless office
Promote a paperless office by sending send emails instead of mail and link up your computer network, as this cuts
down on the need for printing jobs which will save paper. Reuse computer print-out paper as memo pads or telephone message pads.


Reduce Water Consumption
When brushing your teeth, use water in tumbler instead of from a running
tap. Take a shower instead of bathing
in a bathtub. Install a dual-action flush in your toilet to reduce
water consumption.


Enjoy natural resource
It's better to rely on natural and ventilation. Leave windows open and switch off the lights and fans which are not in use to reduce energy consumption.


Green consumption
Plan your shopping list to avoid over-consumption, which normally contributes
to household waste. Instead of ending up with many plastic bags, bring your
own shopping bag to hold smaller items. This eliminates unnecessary
consumption of plastic bags and reduces waste.


Say Yes to Public Transportation
Public transport can usually take more people at a time to their destinations,
which reduces your energy consumption. You can also consider
other means of transportation, such as a bicycle or simply go on foot if
possible.


Plants are great!
Growing plants can creat a pleasant working and living space. In additional, they can
also serve as an air purifier and give us all healthier surroundings.
