Hong Kong's Foam Plastic Pellet Crisis

香港「膠災」

The volume of foam plastic pellets entering Hong Kong waters has reached crisis proportions. The foam pellets are impacting all our shorelines and threaten our marine life. Due to a criminal lack of care by Hong Kong Government, and the fish and vegetable trade, a large amount of Styrofoam is discharged daily into Hong Kong waters. One of the main local culprits is the fish trade in Aberdeen.

To address the pellet crisis in the short run, we need Government to guarantee that there will be 'zero-Styrofoam discharge’ from the Aberdeen Harbour, the fish market, and associated trucks and vessels.

To fix the pellet crisis in the long run, we need Government to mandate alternatives for Styrofoam in the fish and vegetable trade.

大量發泡膠粒正在危害香港水域，更威脅我們的海洋生態。政府完全無理會過這些垃圾蟲。每日海產和蔬菜的交易使用了不少發泡膠箱，它們分解成細小的膠粒流入大海。其中一個罪魁祸首便是香港仔碼頭的漁類批發巿場。

我們需要政府承諾於香港仔漁市場實行「零發泡膠行動」。政府亦應該在漁菜市場使用其他物料取代發泡膠。歡迎到我們的Facebook瀏覽更多資訊。
