LETTER TO SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
I couldn't agree more with Alex Lo (Let's have a hi-tech solution to recycling, 19 February).
Instead of handing excess cash back to the public or giving relief on property taxes, why doesn't the government use (part of) its surplus to build recycling plants?
That would need subsidies to be sure. But putting trash in landfills is also subsidised -- and simply wasted.
There's no need for yet another "consultation" or attempts at a "consensus". As Alex Lo points out, the public knows major recycling is needed, and that we badly lag other developed economies.
So, "Just do it" Carrie!
Pf, etc...
