Is the Tseung Kwan O eco-village a good idea?

It is great to hear that the Professional Green Building Council has a plan to turn a former landfill in Tseung Kwan O into an eco-village.

Transforming a landfill into an eco-village not only can help enhance the reputation of Hong Kong in its environmental image, but has many other advantages.

Obviously, it can give Hong Kong people an opportunity to know more about protection of the environment. Through the facilities and exhibitions in the village, young people can learn how to treasure our resources and energy.

Besides that, it can help to improve the air quality in Tseung Kwan O - the bad smell of the landfill has bothered residents for a long time. People often have to close the windows and have the air conditioner on to avoid the smell coming from the landfill.

Therefore the Tseung Kwan O eco-village is definitely a good idea for all Hong Kong people, and especially for Tseung Kwan O's residents.
