Greenwash


No matter how many pictures of trees Chinachem may erect on their construction sites, the reality is they are covering another bit of Hong Kong with concrete. I know we need more housing, but let's not pretend that Hong Kong's future will be green unless we make some big changes.

It amazes me that property developers aren't ridiculed more for this sort of nonsense. I saw a very similar sign to this in Causeway Bay a couple of years ago. In this case though, the sign was actually put up in front of a real tree (probably the only tree in the area) with a square hole cut in the sign to allow a branch through!

Why does everyone put up with this crap?

I'm starting to think that the problem isn't the government or the developers - is the problem that we just aren't doing enough to show our contempt for this sort of nonsense?
