Sustainable Development
SLIDE 9
What we concern about the development project
SLIDE 10
Alternative Plan
4000 hectares of unused government land (952 hectares of residential use) 90 hectares of residential area provided by the project
SLIDE 11
Disturbance of habitat at Long Valley
Construction of new city will affect the air quality at Long Valley New population will cause pollution, which reduce the no. of animals inhabited. Tall buildings affect birds flight paths Cars cause air pollution

Agricultural land used for
- ther purposes
Dumping (both legal and illegal) of construction wastes Container yard （貨櫃場） Construction of Small Houses （丁屋） Use of city planning to restrict the development on land of high ecological value is not reliable.

Our Suggestions
SLIDE 16
leave Kwu Tung North as it is in order to avoid irreversible damage to environment resources for nature education land resumption carried out by government cooperation between farmers and green
- rganizations
SLIDE 17
Resources for nature education
a key site for students and educators to learn about our environment first-hand eco-tours clear concept of conservation
SLIDE 18
protect and improve the natural environment, the social and economic conditions of local communities safeguard the health and welfare of all farmed species

Aerobic Composting
- eg. Ma Po Po Community Farm in Ma Shi
Village reuse plant litter from horticultural and agricultural activities and animal manure lessen waste footprint
SLIDE 21
Crop rotation Fallowing Agroforestry
SLIDE 22
local consumption food mileage local economy, employment
