绿色大地创始人刘嘉峰警告香港环保倡导空间正在缩小。这位68岁环保人士在上月辞去董事职务后，回顾了自己36年的职业生涯，将政府暂停废物收费计划视为最大挫折。
绿色大地创始人刘嘉峰（Edwin Lau Che-feng）在36年的环保生涯中，一直是最积极推动废物收费计划的倡导者之一。该计划于2004年提出，2021年获立法会通过，原定2023年生效，为期18个月准备期。但政府因公众对生活成本影响及实施不确定性的担忧，两度延期后，于2024年5月27日无限期搁置该计划。 刘嘉峰忆述此事时表示：“这感觉不可能。我一生中从未听说香港有已通过的法律却未能实施。”他建议当局本可先在政府场所推行废物收费，并批评政府“缺乏决心和信心，以及采取行动实施该法案的主动性”。 这位68岁环保人士现已放慢脚步，专注于健康和兴趣爱好。他曾参与多项环保运动，包括反对红磡半岛发展项目，并担任环境咨询委员会成员，获颁荣誉勋章。文章标题直指香港绿色倡导空间缩小，刘嘉峰的经历凸显环保议题面临的挑战。
