type='html'>&lt;p&gt;人道和傳統，那個比較重要？“傳統唔係大晒架！” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;《海豚屠場》獲獎惹抗議 描述日漁村殺海豚傳統 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;【明報專訊】今屆奧斯卡金像獎的頒獎結果，引發了一場政治風波。描述日本西南部漁村太地町（Taiji）屠殺海豚傳統的美國影片《海豚屠場》，獲得奧斯卡最佳紀錄片獎，結果惹來太地町抗議。當地鎮長指控影片內容失實和不尊重文化傳統。 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;偷拍鐵棒戳死海豚血染大海 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;《海豚屠場》（The Cove）描述前海豚訓練員奧貝瑞（Richard O'Barry）與攝影隊，為將屠殺海豚行徑公諸於世，不顧當地政府和村民百般阻撓，設法潛入太地町禁區，安裝了數台隱蔽攝錄機，紀錄了十幾艘漁船將大群海豚逼入海灣後，漁民用鐵棒戳死海豚、血染海面的場景。 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;此片引來國際社會對獵殺海豚的關注，也令該條年殺2000條海豚的小漁村備受壓力，影片今次獲獎，更觸動了當地人的神經。太地町鎮長三軒一高昨稱：「我想這部片以事實自居，卻沒有科學依據支持，這是令人遺憾的。」他強調，在日本捕獵海豚都是合法的，並呼籲外界尊重這一傳統，「不管是在日本還是海外，有很多關乎食物的習俗，因此持相互尊重的態度是必要的」。 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;鎮長：內容無科學依據 令人遺憾 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;太地町每年捕殺的海豚，只佔全日本總數的一小部分，但因當地採用的傳統捕殺手法，是驅趕海豚往岩岸邊（稱為Oikomi），因而令捕獵活動較為易見。在片中亮相的一名當地議員和一名日本教授，都稱是被騙上鏡，要求刪去片段，不排除興訟。 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;《海豚屠場》導演、《國家地理雜誌》前攝影師皮斯霍斯（Louie Psihoyos）聲稱，電影並非要教訓日本，只是想日本人看過電影後，自己決定是否應如此對待動物作食用及娛樂，以及向購買海豚肉的日本民發出健康警告，因海豚肉中的「水銀含量超標」。他還稱，新近發生在佛羅里達海洋世界的訓練員被殺人鯨殺死事件，亦顯示鯨魚和海豚不該被人飼養。 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;由於內容敏感，《海豚屠場》之前一直無緣在日本上映，日本人對其所知不多，但一家日本發行商上周說，今年5、6月日本將在主要城市上映這套電影經「做手腳」的版本，當中漁民的面孔將被「打格」，發行商也會加上一段文字註解，否認海豚肉中水銀柱毒素含量超標，「以正視聽」。日本政府官員亦捍衛漁民的「捕獵權」，指影片不公正持平&lt;br /&gt;「世上有些國家宰牛、有些則捕鯨或海豚。一套關於屠宰牛或豬的戲，也可能令相關業界工人不滿。」 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;路透社/法新社&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;（1）每一個同事各盡本分，例如下班時，關電腦；　 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;（2）編輯部全層1.6萬呎，照明系統和冷氣系統分成多個區，而同事上下班時間不同，晚上，當每區的最後一位同事下班時，便幫忙將該區的照明和冷氣關閉；　 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;（3）聘請專家來報社進行能源審核（energy audit），有多項重要發現，其中之一是照明系統太光亮，浪費能源，於是我們根據專家的建議，拆掉超過400支多餘的光管；　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;（4）我辦公室的燈亦減少一半；　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;（5）向港燈申請「最高負荷供電計劃」。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;這次減排節能初見成效，是全體同事幫忙和努力的成果；現在，我們正研究下一階段的節能措施，其一是研究轉換節能光管；其二是研究更換水冷式冷氣系統，一年大約可以節省40萬元電費，而更換系統需要500萬元，回本期超過10年，太長了，這是一大障礙。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;如果你有其他的好方法，煩請指教。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;張波

type='html'>&lt;p&gt;雖然越來越懶寫blog，碰上有感的文章還是想分享。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;【明報專訊】港府缺乏保護路邊樹木的意識，只要能賣地，哪管樹木種在路邊抑或山坡，只要在城市，一概要「讓路」。而所謂活化古蹟，就非要變成能賺錢項目才行，於是「一招了」地變成餐廳商場，像尖沙嘴前水警總部，如今落得一片「失去靈魂的古蹟」。完成工程後的樹木，只剩下一成多；至於種植在市區路邊的樹木，亦面對重重困境。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;缺乏綠化植樹遠景&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;上圖&lt;em&gt;[please scroll down]&lt;/em&gt;是記者在2004年從高處拍攝的，當時已知水警總部將落入地產集團手上，預計樹木會「不得好死」，故立此存照；2009年，取名1881 Heritage的前尖沙嘴水警總部落成，記者再到同一位置拍攝。驟眼看，眼前仍然一片綠，但細心看，很大範圍只是鋪了薄薄的草坪。據本報4月12日的專題報道，該地盤原有192棵樹，如今只保留23棵。當中包括原地保留的細葉榕，在其根部建築了一個巨型「圓花盆」，但由於根部被削，加上施工期間的污染，如今大量落葉，樹冠縮水。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;當年，發展商長實曾委託港大地理學講座教授詹志勇負責原址保留樹木，他說，關於前水警總部的樹木，已經講了很多，整體來說，香港政府就是只顧賣地，地賣了，就當作是私人地方，聲稱無法規管私人地方的種樹情。長遠計，在規劃城市時，不能只顧及行車及行人，要有植樹帶，「但香港賣地賣到盡，由頭到尾沒有想過路邊樹」。詹志勇解釋，路邊樹能減慢熱島效應，但香港沒有綠化植樹的遠景，錯種路邊樹的情亦甚為普遍，如在窄路種上鳳凰木或垂榕，都屬於「揀錯樹」，因為這兩種樹木都要求較為寬廣的空間。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1881 Heritage把山坡削平，留小量樹木，務求把地盤與馬路拉平，說是保育活化，但工程明顯已變得不能還原，水警總部，只是一幢「有神無韻」的建築。活化目的，只求變成一個可賺錢的項目。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;土壤強鹼性無養分&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;至於路邊樹的情，就更能反映政府部門管理樹木的「無能」。經常見到街樹底部從地面隆起，甚至迫裂路面，但最終不敵密封水泥，根部無處舒張而被屈死，死前，當然還得經歷體弱病害，風雨來臨，更順勢倒塌。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;詹志勇指出，樹木底部從路面隆起，是在尋找空氣最多及土壤最鬆的環境，但由於市區缺乏綠化帶，香港的路邊樹是有窿就插。即使有關部門建議要有1立方米的範圍來種植路邊樹，又即使，這已經屬於18世紀的路邊植樹標準，但詹志勇說﹕「我敢打賭，很多樹穴都不夠1米深！」樹基範圍，更用壓土機把泥土壓實，這是最致命的，而這不足1立方米深的泥土，也不是什麼優質土壤，泥裏經常發現建築材料。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;詹志勇曾多次抽驗路邊樹的土壤，結果顯示，鹼性強度高達pH8-9（正常應為pH5-6），強鹼性來自建築廢料，令泥土不能釋放養分。他批評﹕「香港如此富裕，但換樹時，連這少少泥都不去換！」究其原因是缺乏統一監管的部門，香港管理路邊樹木的部門，繁雜重複而混亂，要問責時，卻不易找出負責單位。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;一邊植樹一邊斬樹　&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;香港社會十分矛盾，一邊植樹，一邊斬樹。突然興起綠化，就一窩蜂種樹，但只種了幾十年的又喊「怕危險」。英國人曾把路邊植樹的傳統帶來香港，但香港賣地賣到盡，即使近年力發展的西九，也沒預留多少植樹點。每遇打風塌樹便隨即鋸掉，沒有想過如何改善種植方法，香港市區的植樹帶，連深圳發展新區都不如。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;詹志勇建議，在城市規劃時，新建築物退後3米，以加建樓面面積補償給發展商，以便劃出路邊植樹帶；若行人路太窄，不能退後建築物，可考慮用疏水透氣的水泥板面，讓行人可正常走動，而水泥板下的土壤亦不用壓死壓實。人與樹木與建築，其實可以和諧共存。　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;文、圖﹕伍成邦　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;編輯

release ourselves in the bush because "this soil needs nitrogen," the guide said.），“大”的那個則比較麻煩：user在事後需在上面灑lime powder（好像有助decomposition），在第4天1batch過送往特別處理。兩個桶都沒有沖水設備。兩個桶都不supposed有廁紙。團友are supposed to burn their 廁紙in the camp fire at night。試想這有多尷尬啊，在一群人前面把用過的廁紙掉進火裏，thinking that everyone knows what's "in" there。所以那幾天每用一格廁紙我都會三思，節儉得連自己也驚訝。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我想知道到底有沒有一個比較妥善的方法呢？可以向新加坡參考嗎？新加坡多大樹，也多雨，卻好像沒有倒樹的問題（老實說，就算有我也不知道，只是感覺上那裏的樹很綠很健康，不像香港的那樣瘦和一臉快死的樣子。）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;地面鋪磚致假健康 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;幼根鬆綁粗根仍枯&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;【明報專訊】旺角嘉道理道昨早又有大樹塌下橫臥馬路，長春社保育經理蘇國賢到現場了解，翻開鋪路磚後發現泥土表面佈滿直徑僅數毫米的樹根，埋在泥土的粗壯樹根部分已枯死，一拗即斷。他分析，近年行人路以鋪路磚代替混凝土，間接為接近地面的樹根「鬆綁」，令樹木得以繼續生長，但泥土下的樹根因長期受壓，慢慢步向死亡，以致最後承受不到樹幹重量而倒下。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;樹木向陽傾路中&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;他又指市區路邊樹木塌下，往往向馬路一邊傾側，對人車構成威脅。本報記者昨到嘉道理道及日前有鳳凰木塌下的巴富街觀察，發現大樹向馬路一邊傾斜生長情普遍，其中一棵位於嘉道理道接近亞皆老街的木麻黃，估計傾斜了逾10度。蘇國賢稱，該樹接近斜坡的一邊樹根明顯隆起，是樹木的自然反應，長出reaction wood（反應根），令樹身平衡。他說，由於馬路中心較開揚，日照較充足，樹木自然會靠近馬路生長，至一定高度再「拗直」，這些樹木的重心已移離樹木基座，若有潛在健康問題，一旦倒下便會壓向馬路，對車構成危險。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;昨日倒下的木麻黃樹冠濃密，除了根部生長真菌，外表沒有明顯「病徵」，蘇國賢認為這是鋪路磚引起的「假健康」現象。本港行人路過去大多以混凝土建造，近年以鋪路磚代替，間接為接近地面的樹根鬆綁。鋪路磚的疏水程度得以提升，長出大量幼根，為樹木提供足夠養分，從外表難以察覺健康出問題；至於埋在泥土下的樹根則無法受惠，漸漸步向死亡，到最後基座會突然裂開倒下。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;他形容以上問題是「死症」，除非動用大量資源處理每一棵樹，否則難以根治樹根長期受壓問題。風季將臨，他建議政府分析過去在暴雨或颱風襲港期間倒塌的樹種及地點，分先後次序檢查有潛在問題的樹，然後為這些樹進一步鬆綁，例如移除更大範圍的鋪路磚，以及拉繩固定，盡量減少塌樹數量。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

by梁文道&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;對大部分在都市里成長的小孩來說，陪媽媽去街市可能就是他們最早的一次生命教育了。我上小學的時候，曾經目睹小雞孵化的整個過程。在老師的指導之下同學們要分組認養小雞，看著它們漸漸長大，嫩黃的絨毛裹著一顆蛋似的胖胖身軀，整天吱吱喳喳，可愛得不得了。後來呢？不知道為甚麼，我就是想不起來那些雞結果都到哪里去了。我對那些雞的最後印象，就是它們開始生出雞毛掃子般的羽毛了，叫聲也愈來愈像街市雞籠裏的那些雞……&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;母親至今不吃兔肉，因為她小時曾在市場見過肉販扭斷兔脖子的景象。我很明白她的心情，我也曾無數次站在雞檔之前定睛看著檔主用刀俐落地割開雞頸，再把它丟進熱水桶裏的情形。一瞬間，本來還在驚慌尖叫的雞一下子就變成了斷線的玩偶，只餘輕微的掙扎抖動。當它從熱水桶裏被提出來的時候，它已經徹底地沉默了，一地飛落的羽毛。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我沒有因此戒掉吃雞，就和其他見過屠雞卻依然吃雞的小孩一樣，我們都長大了。人皆有之的惻隱之心未必能讓所有人變成素食者，可是那短暫的矛盾卻教給了我們重要的一課，我們的生，靠的原是無數生靈的死。這一課如此殘酷，如此真實。乃致於後來有些人懂得感恩，有人知道要珍惜食物，大部分人則變得對一切冷淡漠然，因為生命本來無奈，並且荒涼，每一個去過街市的人至少都學到了一些事情。所以後來當我們吃雞的時候，我們會很清楚自己吃的不止是一種肉，而且是一種叫做雞的禽鳥，因為大家都曾見過雞變成雞肉的過程。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;很快地，我們的下一代就不會再在市場裏看到這麼血淋淋的場面了。香港不准雞場繼續存在，也不想街市雞檔繼續自行宰雞。以後我們吃的雞要不是經過中央屠宰室，就是超市冰櫃裏那一團團用塑膠袋包好的肉，沒有頭，也沒有毛，當然更不會啼叫。下一代是幸福的，他們在吃雞肉的時候不會聯想到雞，電視上活蹦亂跳的雞與盤子裏令人垂涎的雞腿是兩回事，二者間的連系不見了，或者說被遮蔽了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;泰森食品（Tyson Foods）公司是全球最大的肉食供應商，每年生產二十億隻雞。在美國超級市場的貨架上，平均四隻雞裏就有一只是他們的。這是家典型的現代食品公司，他們的合約供應商全部採用工業化農場（industrial farming）的模式，是全世界畜牧業的典範。一走進去，你首先感到的是一股濃烈得熏眼的阿摩尼亞味，因為在一批雞被送進來然後再推去的那短短幾十天裏，根本就沒有為它們清理排泄物的需要。如此一家典型的制肉工廠通常可以同時容納三萬隻以上的材料雞，每只占去的空間不超過一張A4紙。換句話說，它們這一輩子幾乎是不用動的，就算想動也動不了。如果這還算是動物的話，它們的唯一動作就是進食、排泄，以及因為過度緊張而互相啄咬（同時生出一種會灌注肌肉的激素）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;到了該來的那一天，它們終於有了生平第一次走路的機會，以每小時七千兩百隻的速度列隊，蹣跚地邁向死亡。首先是被倒進一個充電的水池，目的是為了減輕工人下刀的難度。雖然他們卻對外宣稱這可以緩解雞的痛苦。可是研究表明，在被宰的那一刻，大部分的雞都還是清醒的。甚至到了泡熱水的最後一關，居然也還有三分之一的雞活著。於是在那個巨大的燙桶裏，它們死命抓踢桶身，爪子在鋼壁上急速刮出刺耳的聲音，眼球則因體內的壓力變化爆裂彈出，所以每次燙完一桶，水面都浮著一層眼珠。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;如果市場裏現宰活雞的場面是血腥的個別謀殺，絕大部分冰鮮雞的背後就是納粹式的毒氣室了，分別在於我們看得見前者，卻目睹不了後者。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;所以我們的下一代吃到的雞肉都是乾淨完全的肉，他們根本沒有任何機會把雞和雞肉聯繫起來，更無法想像這個轉變所需的步驟。也許，就像廣告裏的動畫一樣，那些雞都是快快樂樂，一邊唱歌一邊跳舞地變成了炸雞塊。除非他們有機會看到幾年前一個動物權益組織在某家肯德基供應廠裏偷拍的片段：那些工人把忙亂之中沒割死的雞當成足球，踢來踩去。又或者將它們摔到牆上，還用濺在上頭的血畫塗鴉……&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-4410051287491947750?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/4410051287491947750/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=4410051287491947750' title='3 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/4410051287491947750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/4410051287491947750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html' title='還是關於雞'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-8236805196308655922</id><published>2009-03-29T18:22:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T18:36:05.877+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reaching out to us'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In us'/><title type='text'>Thich Nhat Hanh's Letter to KFC</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Dear Mr. Novak,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I hope that this letter finds you in good health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I have heard reports that KFC's suppliers cut the throats of conscious chickens, that many birds are still conscious when they are sent through scalding water, and that KFC refuses to persuade its suppliers to use methods that are more humane both for the chickens and for the humans who handle them. It also has been reported to me that chickens raised for KFC are genetically and pharmacologically manipulated to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly, that they are crippled by their own body weight. These are very distressing things to contemplate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I have offered retreats for business leaders such as yourself; many of my friends are businesspeople too, and I understand the pressures you must be under. I also am certain that you do have a heart of compassion. If these reports are true, please, stop and reconsider. No feeling creature should be treated so cruelly. Treating chickens with brutality not only hurts every one of those birds; it hurts every one of us, including you yourself, and even your loved ones. If you look deeply, I am sure you will see this clearly and you will be determined to find another way. I believe you know already in your heart that our success in life cannot be measured in dollars and cents alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Please, reflect on this and do your best, at least to implement the recommendations of your own animal welfare advisors. I am here for you, as well, and would be glad to hear from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Thank you dear friend, for taking the time to read this letter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Thich Nhat Hanh (Zen Master)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plumvillage.org/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Plum Village Practice Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-8236805196308655922?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/8236805196308655922/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=8236805196308655922' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/8236805196308655922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/8236805196308655922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2009/03/thich-nhat-hanhs-letter-to-kfc.html' title='Thich Nhat Hanh&apos;s Letter to KFC'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-6353512874534786092</id><published>2009-03-10T13:24:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T13:41:12.730+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>Watermelon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SbX6zfcI5qI/AAAAAAAAAyI/ZW24SQFNrDs/s1600-h/img_Wilfred_rescue_008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311427098073163426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SbX6zfcI5qI/AAAAAAAAAyI/ZW24SQFNrDs/s400/img_Wilfred_rescue_008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Watermelon, this is what this bear is called.

The superficial sympathy we express for the woes of others, when we watch the nightly television news, for example, is often no more than a wish to feel good about ourselves, a sop to our own conscience. “I am a person sensibility and feeling,” we say.

These “soft” emotions can serve as a form of narcissistic self indulgence. Often they are impotent. They make us feel good about ourselves, like when we give a coin to a beggar. They create the illusion of health and well-being. But sensitivity should be used as a diagnostic tool, not as a mirror to our own vanity. &lt;strong&gt;Real compassion is potent as it implies the question, “What can I do t&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;o help?”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-302248598891104441?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/302248598891104441/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=302248598891104441' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/302248598891104441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/302248598891104441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2009/02/compassion.html' title='Compassion'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-6879726617585645490</id><published>2009-02-20T19:20:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T19:27:34.067+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>Joy</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SZ6TOfC50_I/AAAAAAAAAyA/Nag7eZturPA/s1600-h/Week-in-wildlife--A-close-005.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304839288150152178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SZ6TOfC50_I/AAAAAAAAAyA/Nag7eZturPA/s400/Week-in-wildlife--A-close-005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; Despite the sufferings that seem to be everywhere, there are still many things worth celebrating.

She was studying it with a frown and I assumed she was upset by the boggle-eyed menace of the photo-booth portrait. But she was actually closely scrutinising several pages of blood-red immigration stamps marking multiple entries to the United States of America.

I try and tell him that bears and wolves and other animals in the jungle might die if we don't look after them. There are lots of things which threaten them. Litter's one. Litter blocks up the jungles and the animals suffer. I know that water is needed, too. We do Water Aid at our school. And sometimes we all share a bath at home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cato Tallis-Lock, 12&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I think my parents listen to me about the environment"&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"I came up with the idea "Walk Your Dad" for the book Teach Your Granny To Text with my friend Edward. Both our dads work at home sitting at computers. We felt they needed more exercise. At school there is someone to tell you to do PE or swimming, but working at home there is less opportunity to exercise. Encouraging our dads to walk was about health and about the environment. I'm protective of the environment. I check if the lights are on and if the TV is on standby. Small things around the house make a difference, like turning off the tap when you're brushing your teeth. The big stuff is harder, though. We do go on aeroplanes, but not for short journeys. We drove to Spain last summer. I think my parents listen to me about the environment. But they do stuff anyway. If there was a child whose parent wasn't listening to them about the threat of global warming I'd say, show them a website which shows CO2 emissions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunneka Deocampo, 8, Brighton &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I like growing seeds. I am growing an avocado to eat" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"I was born in a jungle. I don't remember it, but my mum has told me. I was surrounded by coconuts and flowers. I like growing seeds and I think if we grew more food and ate it that might be good for the earth. I am growing an avocado to eat. It's about the size of a satsuma now, maybe a bit bigger. You put it near the sun. You water it. It takes ages just to grow one, though. I don't know where my school dinner comes from. We need a lot of food in the school and I could never make that much. Mr O'Shea is my teacher and we talk about the environment in class. I turn off taps that are running. I pick up litter. I know cars are not good. I live near the sea and I know if oil gets in it that isn't good for the birds. My sister Taneesha is seven. We made our own recycling box and we put our paper in it. I hope it helps. Mr O'Shea says it helps.

The saving they make is small and the inconvenience big. It pleases me that a couple of them have changed and would indeed give me smaller portion upon request. This of course did not happen overnight. Firstly, I am their frequent customer. Secondly, I make conversation with the people so that they recognize me. Thirdly, I make the same request over and over again, so much so that they would ask me without prompt, Half the portion? If I am a faceless customer, I will just be part of their standard process, and they will not bother enough to deviate from it. So that's my strategy: personalize the relationship.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;【明報專訊】市道不景，但港人浪費食物情仍然嚴重。「&lt;a href="http://www.greeners-action.org/modules/AMS/"&gt;綠領行動&lt;/a&gt;」最新公布的調查發現，只有16％受訪者外出用餐時會吃掉所有食物，較2006年調查僅上升3個百分點；只有13％「吃剩飯者」會主動要求「少飯」，反映市民在減少浪費食物上的警覺及參與度偏低。該組織將於2月至10月舉辦全港「有衣食日」，最少有50間食肆推出「少飯減1元」供消費者選擇。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　廚餘足餵飽千萬飢民一年&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　本港2007年棄置了507公噸廢物在堆填區，當中120萬公噸是廚餘，足夠1752萬名飢民一年的緊急糧食需要。香港現時沒有處理廚餘的安排，家居及食肆產生的廚餘，沒有分類回收，全數傾倒在堆填區。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　綠領行動去年10至12月，在全港各區商場的美食廣場訪問了826名用膳完畢的市民。結果發現，16％表示外出用膳會吃掉所有食物，較06年調查微升3個百分點。調查又發現，9％受訪者表示會吃剩三成或以上食物，較06年的44％為低，顯示嚴重浪費食物的情略有改善。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　另外，有64％受訪者表示經常吃剩飯類食物，其次是肉類及蔬菜，各佔15％。經常吃剩飯的受訪者中，只有13％人表示會主動要求「少飯」。43％受訪者認為，要減少浪費食物，食肆應提供不同分量的食物，亦有31％的人指消費者責無旁貸，應主動要求減少分量。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　每月首周三 「有衣食日」&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;　綠領行動去年舉辦了3個月「有衣食日」活動，來自同一商場的10多間食肆參加，每月舉辦活動1天，旨在提升公眾意識。該組織項目主任葉翠雯說，今年2至10月舉行的全港活動，會將每月的第一個星期三訂為「有衣食日」，消費者要求「少飯」，就可享有減1元優惠，飯量較原來少三分之一，食肆既可減少浪費食物以減低成本，消費者有優惠，又可減少浪費資源，達至三贏局面。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-3473729179955315093?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/3473729179955315093/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=3473729179955315093' title='2 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/3473729179955315093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/3473729179955315093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html' title='有衣食'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-8458865419302458556</id><published>2008-12-29T13:51:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T14:05:56.804+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In us'/><title type='text'>The Day Israel Bombs Gaza</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;On the day Israel bombs Gaza (again), it takes double effort not to lose hope -- perhaps more than what's needed to stop Reeves to destroy the human species in The Day the Earth Stood Still.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SVhn8U5NQNI/AAAAAAAAAxY/5-V795fQdIo/s1600-h/Gallery-Week-in-wildlife--003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285088448817742034" style="DISPLAY: block;

The e-mail from Jane Goodall Institute subjected "Sad News" summarizes his life and personality and provides a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.janegoodall.org/news/article-detail.asp?Entry_ID=538"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;link&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; to a video and more information about Gregoire. For a moment I did wonder if this has gone too far: after all he is &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; a chimpanzee. I caught myself there. What does it mean by "&lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; a chimpanzee"? Does it mean that it is fine for a human being but not for a chimpanzee? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then I remember the dogs who have shared their life with me. They are not &lt;em&gt;only &lt;/em&gt;dogs. They have taught me a great many things that are not taught in school. The joy and sorrow of the cycle of life. The happiness of giving. They are not only dogs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And to those whom his life has touched, Gregoire is not only a chimpanzee. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-7127558875978138658?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/7127558875978138658/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=7127558875978138658' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7127558875978138658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7127558875978138658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/12/only-chimpanzee.html' title='Only a Chimpanzee'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SU3PsAvp86I/AAAAAAAAAww/W6NL39Se6OM/s72-c/Congo-399.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-392457889615918027</id><published>2008-12-18T09:26:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T09:40:30.088+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>A Pledge: Reduce Paper Consumption</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Just took a pledge to reduce paper consumption at &lt;a href="http://passport.panda.org/campaigns/campaign.cfm?uNC=59622136&amp;amp;uCampaignId=1861"&gt;WWF-International&lt;/a&gt;.

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;可能是身受其害的關係，我覺得附近很多人也有過敏的問題。鼻子、哮喘、皮膚。有的朋友的孩子不能吃豆類，有的不能吃果仁，有的不能吃奶品。前幾天友人告訴我他兒子有個同學的過敏測試結果：全版都是X，即是對全部測試品都過敏。我對這孩子和他的父母感萬二分同情。以下是朱漢強的first hand story. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;「再見醫生！」一樂禮貌地跟醫生道別後，蹦蹦跳的「跳」離診所。一樂大概不知道，跟在兒子身後的我，此時此刻，心裏七上八下。清楚記得這一幕﹕「你兒子的氣管弱，很可能有哮喘。」醫生拿出一個長長的管狀物，示意一樂試凝神吸氣。「由1數到20。」他邊說，我一邊看管上有個隨吸氣起伏的氣孔，代表兒子吸舒張氣管的藥物；當數到20，氣管會舒服些。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;3歲不到的一樂，難道日後要把「聞氣」，變成生活的一部分？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;一樂媽如是寫﹕「一樂像咳了一個世紀那樣久。這半個月來，他每一晚都會咳醒，而且每次都很吃力的咳上十數分鐘。有時候，咳醒了，便索性樂滋滋的要到廳裏玩，可是也有像今日清晨那樣，哭鬧『唔要咳﹗唔要咳﹗』邊哭邊咳。」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;哮喘是一種很常見的疾病。香港哮喘會網頁這樣形容﹕「本港的研究資料顯示，大約有百分之十至十五的兒童，及百分之五至十的成年人曾有哮喘的病徵……香港每年平均有七十至九十人死於哮喘病發，其中有二、三十人是死於精壯之年。」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;不是想用「死亡數字」嚇唬大家，但在環保組織上班，明白空氣污染最愛欺負哮喘、心臟病患者。有時，那一口濁氣對活人的折騰，可以遠較「死亡」來得可怕。聽過有心臟病病患，但凡「空氣污染指數」（API） 爬升到100的「危險」水平，便不敢外出「玩命」，只能乖乖呆在家中靜躺。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;「人肉」監測器&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;這些日子，我也學「睇天做人」，留意空氣質素的變化。很擔心有一日，阿仔會變成遠較API還敏銳的「儀器」，只要踏出家門吸一口空氣，便能用咳嗽和氣促的頻率，即時報讀空氣中瀰漫毒氣的分量。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我相信，香港有很多呼吸道系統病人，早已是「人肉版」空氣質素監測器，而且肯定較環保署的「空氣質素指標」（AQO）準確。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;這樣說絕無半點誇張。香港的AQO，像本老掉牙的老黃曆，至今已不合時宜，無法反映香港真實的空氣質量。善於搞公關的政府，最近嘴巴說會採納世界衛生組織的空氣質素指標，卻原來只採用了世衛要求最低的指標，作為障眼法。想告訴大家，這套低門檻的標準，通常只有發展中國家才用；我們不是自詡亞洲的國際城市嗎？怎會那麼不濟？！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;空氣污染指標的目的，理應是保障公眾健康，偏偏政府試蒙混過關。最近，請同事搜尋犯上哮喘的小朋友，去控訴政府在修定空氣污染指標上的麻木不仁。沒想到，案例，原來自家就有。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;寫這篇稿時，兒子房間不斷傳來陣陣的咳嗽聲。記得一樂離開診所時那一句「再見醫生」。「再見」，總會再見，這兩個字，很磨人。我會努力調理孩子的身子，但我們政府，有撫良心為我們的下一代，認真地調理好香港的空氣質素嗎？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;以考試成績論英雄的香港，有學校支持生命教育可謂a delightful surprise。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　【明報專訊】在寫這個引言之前，記者特意瀏覽香港教育城（香港特區政府全資附屬機構）的網頁，瞧瞧什麼是通識教育。看了一大堆令人頭昏腦脹的背景、目的及概論，終於到了較實際的「學與教策略」，得到的答案是「即將推出，敬請留意」。雖然記者也不肯定通識怎麼教，但看見一班愛貓的男生，每天輪流餵貓、剷走貓糞及打理貓舍，責任感與愛心，就這樣慢慢培養出來，想來怎樣也比剛才那八字真言強一些。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 　華仁「愛貓組」 收養流浪貓 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　以往寵物版的採訪，不是到飼主家，就是到寵物店，今次來到一間男校，感覺很奇妙。香港華仁書院是本港唯一一間設貓組的中學，早在15年前已成雛型。話說當年有學生看到山頭的流浪貓遭虐待，又或在停車場被輾斃，決心為貓兒成立一個家。儘管幾經搬遷，但在師生共同努力下，終於1998年正式成立華仁愛貓組，並在學校天台建立貓舍，終讓貓兒有一個安定的家。現時愛貓組有兩位顧問教師，分別是葉太和曾Sir，成員120多人，是學校裏最受歡迎的學會之一。每到放學時間，這班愛貓男孩，都會湧上天台，除了跟貓兒玩耍，還要照料牠們的起居飲食。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 　現時愛貓組一共養了6隻貓咪，除了小吉外，其餘都曾是流浪貓。雖然貓兒身世差不多，但性格各異，其中阿靚年紀最大，雖是貓舍的大家姐，但性情十分溫馴；梅花比較害羞，不太喜歡跟人接觸；杞子野性較強，是名副其實的「高竇貓」；蜘蛛小時候活潑好動，性情較嬌嗲；金毛性格有點頑皮，好奇心很強；而小吉則比較特別，牠本來是顧問教師葉太的家貓，因家人對貓毛敏感，所以移居到此，喜歡「捐窿捐罅」，脾氣不是太好，不時會咬人。6隻貓兒，有時打鬧，有時又相親相愛，不過全已絕育，不會有下一代了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 　貓咪病死 小組險解散 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　其實在小吉尚未加入這個大家庭前，組內曾有8隻貓咪，不料在2006年，愛貓組面臨一個重大的危機﹕某天早上，學生發現貓咪阿純倒斃地上，同日在德國，一隻貓因感染H5N1病毒死亡。一時間人心惶惶，校方認為事態嚴重，學生亦要決定是否解散愛貓組。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 　幾經商討下，學生雖然擔心，但覺得對貓兒要有承擔，不想因此放棄牠們，加上後來證實阿純並非死於H5N1，校方亦加以體諒，大家決定堅持下去，終於渡過這個難關。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 　可是禍不單行，在翌年，愛貓組最受歡迎的貓咪淮山，因腹膜炎去世。由於淮山在嬰兒時，已在這兒長大，加上平易近人，很多學生都接受不了。愛貓組會長區可雋憶述﹕「覺得非常突然，心裏很害怕，不想面對這件事，但是過後明白到，生命有起有滅，即使不捨，也應積極面對。」雖然，記者不肯定香港的通識教育會如何實行，但最少肯定，書本不會讓你體驗到什麼是死亡，對這班愛貓的男生而言，這絕對是人生中重要的一課。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I guess the question is 真簡約還是假簡約？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　【明報專訊】從檸檬樹上摘下了最後一個果實，我往後要泡檸檬茶便要到街市買檸檬了。習慣種植自己的食物，每天到街市買菜是繁瑣的事務，加上愈來愈不安全的食物供應，必須假於外求的生活使人神經緊張。其實我可以選擇一年只喝三個月的檸檬茶。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　簡約生活本來是那些有點錢的中產品味。想深卻不然，追求簡約生活本是人類的共性。科技是追求簡約生活的技術。到了今天，最簡約的生活是，你有錢便有了生活，食物、住所、任何的服務。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　大部分人都不想面對電腦的軟硬體，我們需要一按上網！正如每天早上起來，我們的街道都很乾淨，早有人為我們打點了一切，本來，政府的工作是，我交稅，你打點！理應，我不必知道我每天生產的垃圾在哪裏給消滅了。我們的生活表面很簡約，可是背後是很複雜的運作。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　生活腦袋 同步簡約&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　我們倒過來檢視一下。我們想隨時隨地在通宵營業的商店買到食物，於是食物有了保質期。我們想嘗試世界不同的產物，於是我們有了各種不同的防腐方案。我們要價錢便宜，於是我們習慣講價，中間商向生產者壓價，生產者向質素埋手。城市愈來愈大，食物供應也愈來愈遠，我們愈來愈不知道也不去知道食物如何生產。我們追求簡約的生活之後，連同腦袋也簡約了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　我們把責任交給政府，但簡單化的腦袋以為政府懂得所有的事。現實告訴你，就算醫生懂得把你的心肝脾肺切開再縫合，原來他是不知道牛怎樣養、菜怎樣種，結果係，所謂食物安全何以監察，他是沒有頭緒的。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　獨善其身 末日有期&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　上個世紀急速發展的各種科技，原來只是偽科技。情形好像是，我們得到最理想的生活，足不出戶可以解決了一切生活。我們把自己的家園打理得很合衛生，穿的是鬆身麻色棉衣，牆是素色的白，我們把垃圾從窗口往外丟，我們不知道外面的世界。我們只知道，我們的生活多簡約啊！然後有一天，有人敲打你的家門，告訴你溫室效應，告訴你冰川將要消逝，洪水將至末日有期。一下子我們重新面對，原來世界是很複雜的，一隻蝴蝶拍拍翅膀會波及全宇宙運作。你會發現環保生活很不簡約，但水浸眼眉，好像，在公在私都要勉為其難了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;　環保生活不簡約，不環保的生活不負責任，簡不簡約就不得而知了。對方便這個名詞少一點妄想，對生活多一點觀察，好的生活，無謂從簡約開始。每個人每天只有24小時，一個農夫每一年只有一次機會種植同一種植物。我們一生短暫，時間無多。每一年，我有三個月可以採收檸檬，但往下三個月，我又有另外一些作物和果實可以享用，何必要求全年皆可喝到檸檬茶？地球生物以億萬年的進化歷程告訴我們：目前的存在模式，是我們全球生物可持續發展的科學結論。除非，我們能夠憑妄念生出另一個宇宙來，否則，回到現實，我們還是按本子辦事好了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;【明報專訊】&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;問﹕電燈一開一關，會比長開更浪費電力？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;答﹕整體上不會，但要視乎個別燈類及使用情，如傳統燈泡及碘鎢燈不會因一開一關而額外耗電，但感應放電式如舊式使用繞線限流器的光管於開關時確有稍大的耗電，但如開關次數不是過於頻繁，不使用時關掉該類光管，如一小時開關6次，但只用20分鐘，仍是較長開省電。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;問﹕桌上電腦和筆記簿型電腦，何者用電較多？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;答﹕桌上電腦用電較多，若兩者規格相同，桌上電腦的中央處理器和其他程式會在八至九成狀態下運行，而一般筆記簿型電腦不會在此效率下運作，故耗電量較少。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;問﹕一個6頭燈具的其中一個燈膽壞了，開燈時該燈頭會否繼續耗電？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;答﹕不會，因為每個燈頭是獨立負載。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;問﹕電腦用Screensaver是否能慳電？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;答﹕Screensaver比正常使用電腦時慳電，但省電量少，部分花巧的Screensaver光度更與正常運作時差不多，要電腦省電，應設定為備用或休眠狀態，或直接關機。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;每次身體不適而藥到病除時，我都感到amazed。到底這些藥是怎樣研究出來的呢？一定是在無數動物身上試驗過才推出來。想到這裏amazement便變成沮喪；我間接導致了immense suffering in other sentient beings。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;今天&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/nov/05/animal-primate-research-experiments-vivisection"&gt;衛報&lt;/a&gt;說European Commission提議禁止使用great apes如gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees作實驗。這自然引來很多爭議。一方的論點基本上是這會"jeopardise rapid reactive work to a serious health challenge”，另一方則是"infliction of suffering on beings who are capable of feeling is ethically problematic”。要實驗物質X能否抗癌先得製造癌，要瞭解腦子不同部位的復原能力也先得破壞腦子。不能在人身上製造這些environment，科學家就在動物身上製造。一方面我覺得很殘忍，一方面我又不想生病時"無藥可救"。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Jane Goodall 說"the amazing human brain should set to work to find new ways of testing and experimenting that will not involve the use of live, sentient beings". 我的腦袋不夠"amazing"，想不到辦法，可是我很同意我們必須look for an alternative。如果我們固執地相信“不是你死就是我亡”，我們永遠都不會找到the 3rd option.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Note: Around 12 million animals are used in research in Europe each year,

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;有些人值得敬佩，是因為她們（印象中大部分站出來的動物或環保分子都是女的，像Jane Goodall, Jill Robinson, 吳方笑薇等等）“無視”現實，就跟隨心中的聲音逆潮流而走，在戰火連年的非洲保護黑猩猩，在人命不值錢的中國保護黑熊。到底她們的勇氣從哪來？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;其實Jane Goodall關注的不只是黑猩猩。我發現JGI有一個專案叫&lt;a href="http://www.janegoodall.org/africa-programs/index.asp"&gt;Africa Program&lt;/a&gt;，其中一個目標是community centered conservation， 通過提供micro credit、family planning service（傳統上非洲男人喜歡大家庭，而人口難免對環境做成壓力。當我看到這service包括派發避孕藥時，我以為我在看家計會或風雨蘭的報告）、教育、耕種技術支緩等，組織希望當地人有能力和知識去好好生活，好好管理他們的地方。很明顯的是，對瘦得皮包骨的人們而言，一頓飯比什麼biodiversity、全球暖化重要。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;除了community centered conservation和比較“正常”的大猩猩保育工作之外，還有一個叫Role of Women in the Community的目標，原因是女人決定家裏吃什麼（例如bushmeat）、用什麼等對環境有直接影響的大小事務，搞定了她們就等於搞定了她們的家人。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;這都是多麼順理成章的事情，可又多麼困難呀！這叫我對Jane和她的團隊更加佩服，也加深了我對保護mother earth的理解：It’s not about recyling newspaper, turning off computers when not in use, or avoiding travel by air. It’s about how to live a life, in every way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The life of Teresia (1922 – 1984), once the matriarch of an elephant family in Amboseli, Kenya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Teresia was born in 1922 she weighed about 260 pounds and stood approximately two feet nine inches at the shoulder. Her brain weighed 35 percent of what it would weigh as an adult. (The human brain is 26 percent of its adult weight at birth; most other mammal brains are 90 percent of the adult weight at birth.) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Teresia probably spent the first four years of her life in very close proximity to her mother and her siblings and other relatives in the family. She depended on her mother for both milk and care. When she was around four [4] years old, a younger sister or brother was most likely born and Teresia was weaned. At four [4] she would have taken great interest in her new sibling and lavished it with attention. At the same time she was developing her own social relationships within the family and learning elephant protocol. As a young calf she would have been tolerated in most situations, but as she got older she had to learn about dominance and aggression as well as affiliation. She would also have begun to know elephants from other families and her own family’s position in relation to them…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Starting sometime in her ninth [9th] or tenth [10th] year Teresia’s body began to go through changes and in her eleventh [11th] or twelfth [12th] year, if conditions were adequate and there was not a drought, she probably came into estrus (發情期) for the first time and experienced all the confusion, fear, and excitement of that event… Her body went through further changes as the fetus grew and various hormones went into action. Her breasts filled out gradually over the months. By the time she was 18 months pregnant her sides were bulging and the weight of the fetus slowed her down. She probably had to feed more than before, because she, as well as the fetus, was continuing to grow. At her age she was only about two thirds [2/3] the size of a full-grown adult female. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 13 to 14 years old Teresia probably gave birth to her first calf… &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If her first calf lived out its early years, then Teresia would have come into estrus again when it was about two [2] and given birth to a new calf when it was four [4] and she herself was 17 to 18. For the next three [3] decades of her life Teresia was either lactating or pregnant or both, as she would continue to suckle her youngest calf until the next one was born. After 50 Teresia’s breeding slowed down considerably…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In those middle years, when she was reproductively most active, important social changes were also occurring. Whoever was matriarch when she was born, possibly her grandmother, would have died and the next-oldest female taken over…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it could be said that in the last decade of her life Teresia was in her old age. I do not know if elephants become senile. Teresia always seemed to have all her faculties intact. She stayed with her family, continued to interact with them, and was as tolerant&lt;br /&gt;and sweet-natured as she was when I first knew her. Teresia must have been a particularly caring and in some way attractive grandmother because Theodora’s&lt;br /&gt;[Theodora is one of Teresia’s daughter] calf spent far more time with her than with his own mother. I those last two years, whenever I saw the family, he was often following Teresia or standing next to her… Teresia was still a vital part of the family in her old age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: “Elephant Memories” by Cynthia Moss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-7162662035762546730?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/7162662035762546730/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=7162662035762546730' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7162662035762546730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7162662035762546730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/10/life-of-female-african-elephant.html' title='Life of a Female African Elephant'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SOro70zU0yI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/HdeLNNuhdd0/s72-c/african_elephant_composite108955_1_119179.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-9125083414612025720</id><published>2008-10-07T11:46:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2008-10-08T11:03:59.720+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>Ivory Trade</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SOrcIe_0GpI/AAAAAAAAAjI/2Su4UyxVKdg/s1600-h/afr_elephanttusks_106101_16740.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254253953598888594" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SOrcIe_0GpI/AAAAAAAAAjI/2Su4UyxVKdg/s320/afr_elephanttusks_106101_16740.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;From "Elephant Memories" by Cynthia Moss: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;These facts and figures on ivory, even in my mind, tend to distance one from the elephant, but ivory statistics... represent a definite number of dead elephants... natural mortality at this point cannot possibly feed the current demand for ivory. &lt;strong&gt;To meet the demand for 825 tons of ivory per year a minimum of 70,000 elephants have to die&lt;/strong&gt;... And that is only the elephants with tusks; thousands of calves also die because of the loss of their mothers, bringing the estimated total up to at least 80,000 elephants each year... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It is not the numbers alone that are depressing; equally disturbing is what has happened to the populations that remain. Poachers systematically take the animals with the largest tusks, so the first to go are the males and the older matriarchs... When the older elephants are finished they start on the medium-sized ones and eventually have to do with the young elephants with very small tusks... According to the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Unit of IUCN, &lt;strong&gt;the mean tusk weight of ivory imported into Japan dropped from 35.8 pounds in 1979 to 21.3 pounds in 1982&lt;/strong&gt;... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Facts about African elephants: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Gestation period (懷孕期): 22 months &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Life span: Up to 70 years &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Additional source: WWF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-9125083414612025720?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/9125083414612025720/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=9125083414612025720' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/9125083414612025720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/9125083414612025720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/10/ivory-trade.html' title='Ivory Trade'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SOrcIe_0GpI/AAAAAAAAAjI/2Su4UyxVKdg/s72-c/afr_elephanttusks_106101_16740.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-6110030328860461414</id><published>2008-09-29T14:55:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T09:24:01.454+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>尊貴的消費者</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Nowadays most media promotes consumerism, some do it nakedly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;South China Morning Post gave a glowing report of plans by a caviar (魚子醬) restaurant to open a branch in Hong Kong ("Blueblood of caviar has trust in taste of HK elite", Sunday Morning Post 21 September 2008), without mentioning that the sturgeons (鱘魚) from which the caviar is obtained are fast approaching extinction and that sturgeon have been known to be contaminated with mercury which damages the brain annd reproductive system of mammals by interfering with sperm formation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A friend of mine wrote to the Post to draw their attention to this, and the newspaper is now inviting comment.

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我想到婚宴應該就現時世界情況而改變的細節&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;改用電子請帖，年長或沒有電腦的可改用電話或當面邀請。減少使用紙張及印刷包裝材料。餅卡可於參加婚宴時索取。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;停止食用深海魚類及魚翅，這個之前已經講過。因為深海捕漁破壞海床，部份魚類又因為濫捕而滅種。應改食淡水魚，因為養淡水魚理論上是可永續的經營。香港養魚業對環境的破壞比其他農業為少，實在應該支持。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;減少現有飲宴食物份量，因為幾乎 100% 吃不了全部，造成浪費食物。目標是減少每個菜的份量至現時平均的 70% ，但不減少菜的碟數。由其是通常放在最尾的雞、伊麵、飯、紅豆沙，應該大量減少。原因是一餐飯如果一次過上八個菜，你會吃多了，飽而不知。但是當菜是一個一個的上，再加上婚宴各式大龍鳳如敬酒、玩新娘，整頓飯的時間拉長了，你會更易有飽肚感，因為食物開始消化，血糖開始慢慢升高，強化神經飽足訊號。不要忘記不少人是用拉長食飯時間來減肥。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;飲宴食物亦以肉類及醣類佔大多數，應該增加菜蔬的份量。上文指最尾的菜如雞、伊麵、飯，應增加菜蔬成份。如炸子雞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;可改為菜膽沙鍋雲吞雞；伊麵和飯，可改為排骨上海菜飯。之前的燒豬、熱葷及蒸魚還吃不夠肉了嗎？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;飲宴飲酒過量亦是問題，如新郎哥不慣飲太多，突然飲太多身體出急性反應；又或酒後駕駛問題。當然喜興場合完全不飲酒又有點那過。我建議不提供烈酒，只提供啤酒。啤酒飲得多，要屙很多尿，會大量減少酒精吸收量。當作 Oktoberfest 那樣搞。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;當然，這些意見我想不少新人都會想到。奉行這些改革，會減低新人辦婚宴的支出。但想到還想到，沒有太多人會實行。因為婚宴有傳統，而這些傳統是要跟足，很多人不想與上一代撐。辦婚宴亦要有體面，進行以上改革會給人寒酸的感覺。我認為只是了解進行改革的原因，傳統是可以慢慢改變的。我亦想做個調查，問問大家，請排行以上幾點接受程度，由最不能接受排起。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

When people have a base of real happiness, they will abandon the other things. Maybe that’s the most important thing to do now in order to have the future and the present.

We are living in a time which has become dangerous enough and bad enough to possibly awaken us, if only out of self-interest, to live more gently on this Earth, to co-exist with the lift forms on this planet. Do you think we’re going to make it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Brother David Steindl-Rast: It’s a good question, but I’m not sure it’s a question that should be answered. I’m not sure that the answer one way or the other is going to help anybody. If we say, “Yes, we are surely going to make it,” – first of all it would be difficult to substantiate that claim – and, if the idea is really accepted, it could have damaging effects. We may just go on like before and not do anything to stop the destruction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Now the opposite answer, “We’re not going to make it,” can also have enormously damaging effects because people would say, “If we’re not going to make it anyway, why bother?” So neither of these two answers is going to help very much. &lt;strong&gt;We must put as much effort into everything we’re doing as if whether or not we’re going to make it depended upon it.&lt;/strong&gt; And we must find a way of living in which even if we are not going to make it, in the last second you can say to yourself, “Well, what I did was worthwhile.” But the worthwhileness must never depend on the success.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;不驚不覺已經寫了差不多200個post，發現能引起我興趣的其實不是傳統的節約式環保，而是what's really needed for happiness。印度村婦開懷地笑，不見得她比我們擁有更多的金錢財富。小孩兒們一身破爛滿身泥漿，可他們比我們的小大人輕鬆自在。大象被殘害，獵人心中竟被觸動，提早完結“貓補鼠”的遊戲。雖然它們不會説話，但老樹給倒了，還是有很多人不忍心。很多我們以為擁有才會快樂的東西，沒有也可以很快樂；有些我們以為不相干的事情，原來很有相干。I guess, ultimately, happiness is a business of the heart。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;樹會倒下來嗎？&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;[明報] 某天早上工友通報說：「校長，校舍近街一帶的樹木給白蟻蛀了，有些還會有傾倒危機。」我慌忙巡視，發現不少樹木都有蛀口，翻開泥土後還看到一巢巢蠕動中的白蟻。樹塌會釀成事故，須即時處理。先請工友用鐵絲抓緊樹幹，但樹高數米，這非良策，故囑咐職員立即向政府部門求助。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;兩天了，電話遍及建築署、土拓署、路政署、漁農署、食環署，都說樹和蟻都在校內，非其工作範圍。唯一得到的忠告竟然是：「環保規定，不得斬樹」。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;問題來了，樹內傾危及師生，外倒禍及人車，「已知」的危機是不可能不理的。法律上校舍物業權屬於政府，我便撥電話給教育局的分區辦事處，通報情和擔憂。翌日回電說：教育局幫不了忙。我再三解釋這會對師生和公眾構成危險。可能對方聽得厭煩，官腔來了：「龐校長，你又不是生物學家，怎能一口咬定所見到的是白蟻？」　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;自求多福，我只得自己動手。我反覆「研究」，了解白蟻築穴繁殖過程，認識什麼蒜頭驅蟻法、火攻水灌法，又接見多家滅蟲公司，比較噴藥滅殺、帶藥傳染、召伴吃餌等方法……半年後，在職員和熱心家長的幫忙下，終把問題解決了，而我也成了半個白蟻專家，也明白到無奈的困境會逼你學習。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;朋友說，既然教育局給學校的編制中沒有管理物業的專才，可否訓練一位老師專管這些？很多學校已是這樣做了。我說：「不要煩老師了，他們的任務應是把學生教好。」　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;[龐永欣 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"R. Gordon Cummings, a ninetheenth-century hunter in South Africa, described killing the biggest male elephant he had ever seen. He first shot it in the shoulder, so that it could not run away. The elephant limped over to a tree and leaned against it. Deciding to contemplate the elephant before killing it, Cummings paused to make coffee and then chose to determine experimentally which were an elephant's vulnerable spots. He walked up to it and fired bullets into various parts of the head. The elephant did not move except to touch the bullet wounds with the tip of this trunk. 'Surprised and shocked to find that I was only tormenting and prolonging the sufferings of the noble beats, which bore his trials with such dignified composure,' Cummings wrote, he decided to finish him off and shot him nine times behind the shoulder. 'Large tears now trickled from his eyes, which he slowly shut and opened; his colossal frame quivered conculsively, and, falling on his side, he expired."

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;有些人喜歡狗，有些人喜歡貓，有些人喜歡雞。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;在英國有一個叫Battery Hen Welfare Trust（BHWT）的團體。它的使命就是為不化算的雞，"spent hens"，找個好歸宿，讓它們不用“英年早逝。”一隻typical的英籍battery hen*的生命looks something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;18-72星期：生蛋、生蛋和生蛋 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;72星期（~18個月）後：生產力下降（“The chicken is now officially uneconomic”），給送到屠場 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;而如果不是死於非命的話，它們可以活到6歲，甚至10歲。在日日清的policy之下，我有理由相信香港的雞只有更短命。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;從2003年至今，BHWT已經替100,000只雞找到歸宿。很明顯要把所有"spent hens"都救出火海是不可能的，因為數量實在太多（考考你：數量為什麼會這麼多呢？），但是組織的發起人和志工們都不理了，救得一只是一隻。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;*Battery hen就是我們一般在電視上見到的那些住在層架式雞籠裏的雞。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Reference: &lt;a

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;【明報專訊】不要小看一對即棄木筷，由於使用量驚人，木筷對環境的破壞力不容忽視。據估計，全球每年消耗800億對即棄木筷，中國及日本分別佔450億及250億對，佔整體近九成，其他高用量地區包括台灣及香港等。為了生產800億對筷子，每年須砍掉264萬棵樹，覆蓋面積等於370個維園。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;配合政府政策 日食肆鼓勵自備筷子&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;地球之友表示，香港獲食環署發牌經營的壽司店共900多間，相信使用即棄筷子普遍，擔心即棄文化延續，會令港人的環保意識下降。和民高級公關及市場主任謝友嘉表示，日本人極重視服務質素，飲食界最初在日本採用即棄筷子，原因離不開方便及衛生，後來環保意識抬頭，日本業界推行回收即棄餐具，但不及重用環保，因此日本食肆最近紛紛停用即棄餐具。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;今年3月日本《每日新聞》報道，當地每年消耗250億對即棄木筷，日本政府為了達到在2015年減少生活垃圾60％的目標，將敦促國民自備筷子到食肆，部分食肆以減價或印花換禮物，鼓勵顧客自備筷子。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;【明報專訊】先旨聲明，我不會光合作用。　&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;「你家裏有裝冷氣嗎？」、「你不會用膠袋吧？」、「你是不是只吃有機菜？」、「你會買衣服嗎？」　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;是的，我家裏裝了空調、我會用膠袋、有機無機的菜我都會吃、我也要穿衣服。我跟尋常百姓一樣，既不穴居山洞，也不會光合作用，需要吃喝拉穿。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;睡房空調27℃&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;只是，用空調時，我不會在睡房搞出個城市雪房，反而調至27℃，既不熱不冷也不濕，一家幾口可以睡得很香很甜。老實說，只要你不是「熱底」，大抵也會覺得舒服。又或者說，只要閣下懂得「知慳惜電」，應用則用，那麼空調溫度高一度低一度，又何妨？最重要的是，大家以為對抗氣候變化很難，但其實，一切絕對可以從自家睡房開始。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;膠袋惜用適棄&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;塑膠袋的生命周期很弔詭﹕平均用1秒時間製造，平均使用時間只有20分鐘，卻要花100至400年的時間，方能塵歸塵土歸土。儘管如此，日常生活中我們可以多自備購物袋，卻未必能完全「絕膠」。與其詛咒它十惡不赦，不如盡量提醒自己不要濫用濫發，若果拿了便要盡量重用，用到用無可用，「惜用」才「適棄」。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;要做衣服主人&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我當然不會衣不蔽體的在路上出沒，所以我會買衣服，也會穿衣服。但，我相信自己好歹也是衣服的主人，而非奴隸。聽不懂？我想說的是，雖然很多香港人都看似環保，會回收「舊」衣物，但原來有很多人回收的，都是簇新，甚至「未剪牌」的新衫。他們會以「鍾意」、「靚」、「需要」、「便宜」、「唔夠衫著」為理由去買衫，卻以「唔再鍾意」、「襯唔到」、「尺碼不符」，甚至「唔記得買了這件衫」和「著唔切」等原因去扔掉衣服。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;地球只有一個&lt;/strong&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;綠色生活，不等同於石器時代的生活。香港回歸十年以來，人口增加了6%，但同期的垃圾製造量不成比例地飛升了25%、人均用電量增加了18%。這該不是「正常」的現代生活方式吧？　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;大自然的字典裏，從來沒有「廢物」這個名詞，直至人類變得橫行霸道，才「創造」了「垃圾」——包括學生口中的「垃圾學校」。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;過消耗型生活的香港人，貼切一點的形容，是資源二世祖，與浪費型的美國人有得併。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;世界自然基金會推算過，如果全球人類都要過美國人的生活，至少要5.4個地球的資源才得住；「退一步」過歐盟國家的生活水平，則要2.7個地球；若果以日本作標準，則需要2.5個地球去供養大家。然而，姑勿論是哪一種發達國家的生活模式，我們都不能迴避這個現實﹕地球只有一個。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;話說回來，香港一般人的生活質量，並非不足夠，卻是太多了。只要節制一點物慾，生活質素反而會得到提升。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;容我重申，我不會光合作用，但我希望這一代和下一代的人，不要用盡地球先生的家當。　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

area - racoons, possums, skunks, foxes, and a diverse collection of birds. The trouble was nobody knew anything about them. When people found racoons in their trash cans or skunks under their houses they would be horrified and call the police, who would come and shoot the animals. Someone has to do something about this, I thought, and it might as well be me."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As told in "The Tellington TTouch".

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;我覺得現今社會有點像前蘇聯，很多事情發生都在“鐵幕”後面：有基因改造嗎？有動物測試嗎？說沒有就真的沒有嗎？牛真的會被電暈了才宰嗎？為什麼中央屠宰就不會有禽流感？一般市民如我根本無從知道。而且，老實說，就算說了我也可能不明白，最大的不明白是為什麼不能以一般人能明白的方式說出來。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;【明報專訊】當你安坐電影院，欣賞耗巨資攝製的大片，可有想過，投資額愈大的電影，消耗的能源愈多，間接加劇全球暖化？《蝙蝠俠——黑夜之神》去年11月到香港取景，拍完便返回他的葛咸城，沒有留下任何減排方案。地球之友指出，類似情若發生在荷李活，結果便全然不同，蝙蝠俠不會容易過關。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;年排廢量等同130萬港人 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;加州大學環境學院主管Mary Nichols花了兩年，揭發荷李活的電影及電視業原來是污染大戶，每年炮製的污染物在洛杉機名列前茅，僅次於首位的石油業。拍電影為何會加劇全球暖化？大批用完即棄的道具，拍攝期間使用的空調、照明、攝製器材等都會使用大量電力及排出汽車廢氣。研究發現，荷李活每年排放多達840公噸的二氧化碳，相當於130萬名香港人全年的溫室氣排放總量，十分驚人。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;夢工場近年開始學習承擔污染責任。電影《明日之後》就花了20萬美元植樹，補償拍攝期間產生的1萬公噸溫室氣體。華納兄弟在其網址亦作出類似承諾，例如2005年為電影《油激暗戰》進行「碳中和」工作，投資可再生能源，抵消產生的溫室氣體；該公司又為《22世紀殺人網絡》系列電影回收道具循環再造，包括逾萬公噸混凝土、木材和金屬等。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;並非挑《赤壁》的場，完美主義者的眼中容不下一粒沙，但千軍萬馬所需的道具、臨記的戲服、每次NG推倒重來（如重搭、重燒）中的resources... 或者這就是超高製作費的原因？&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;題外話：電影中的馬匹又中箭又倒地，當中可有被“不人道”對待呢？&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;上次在築地的時候，不忍掃RW的興，吃了toro。他一邊吃一邊大呼好吃，我就想起梁文道先生的&lt;a href="http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4c37827601009qb2.html"&gt;文章&lt;/a&gt;，節錄如下：&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;直到諾沃克病毒爆發之前，大部分人都覺得日本海產是很安全的，即使生吃也沒有問題。就算諾沃克病毒爆發了，有成千上萬的日本人染上了腸胃炎，早把東京當做第二個家的香港中產階級依然覺得去日本是非吃魚生不可的，而且還信心飽滿地對著等在機場採訪的記者說：“沒問題，日本魚產很安全。”&lt;strong&gt;問題其實不是吃魚的人有多安全，而是被吃的魚有多危險，滅種的危險。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;香港有愈來愈多的店鋪標榜自己的魚料是“飛機貨”，每天從東京築地市場新鮮抵港。於是我們一幫食客都以為自己吃的就是日本漁民在日本海域辛勤勞動的成果，一邊吃還可以一邊想像《將太的壽司》這類漫畫裏的情節，似乎吃到了大海上孤獨漁民的那份“心意”。事實上，築地的魚貨不全是日本的土產。這個世界上最大的海產交易中心彙聚了來自世界各地的魚，尤其藍鰭吞拿。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;凡是親眼見過藍鰭吞拿的，都知道這是種多麼巨大的魚，長度可達4米多，重量則有600至700多千克。假如你不只是在築地的地上見過它，而是有幸在海上與它展開過漫長的追逐戰，你就知道它不愧是世界上最富力量的魚，動物演化史上的奇跡。只要它開足馬力，就可以遊出時速160哩左右的速度，而且連續潛航8000多公里，50天內便能橫跨整片大西洋。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;50年前，美國西北海岸的漁民都曉得藍鰭吞拿不是一種罕有的動物，但是漁民聚居的村落還是流傳了許多關於它的神奇故事，父老都會告訴年輕人當年自己與某一條大魚在海中搏鬥終日的經歷，仿佛每一個人都有自己的《老人與海》。那是因為藍鰭吞拿的威力實在太過驚人，意志又格外堅韌，即使上鉤也要和坐在機動船上的人纏鬥到最後一刻，至死方休。因此有點自尊的漁民都會放過年幼體弱的吞拿，只有幹上一條強壯的成魚才是男子漢該做的事。於是這種海中奇跡總有活路，不致滅門。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;直到最近二十年，全球化的力量改變了傳統漁民聚落的生存方式。如今美國緬因州的漁港，每到旺季的下午六點，就會有些日本買家聚集碼頭，檢視貨箱裏漁民用現代技術捕回來那可憐兮兮的三四條死魚，然後用手機查詢當天早上築地市場開出的價格，再競相暗盤標貨。幾分鐘之內，交易結束，日益稀少也日漸瘦小的藍鰭吞拿就會被送上行內俗稱“吞拿棺材”的貨櫃裏。和其他供應本地的魚產不同，這些魚必須保持完整，不削皮不去骨，就算最後有用的部分只有魚身重量的百分之六十，運輸成本高了許多，它們還是要全身運去紐約甘迺迪機場。於是第二天，遊客就能在築地看見這些來自北大西洋的藍鰭吞拿了。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;誰都曉得魚身的完整對魚生的製作來講是很重要的，何況日本師傅剮魚的功力天下第一，日本人對付吞拿的所有本事也都是一流的。所以從北美到西班牙，從克羅地亞到澳洲，不止每一個漁民都明白藍鰭吞拿捕上來要完壁無暇，而且最好採用日本制的特殊紙張包裹，有些漁船甚至有日本來的專家現場指導。全世界的漁民按照當地藍鰭吞拿出現的季節，跨過拼成了一條終年無休的供應鏈，最終的目的地都是東京。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;很多人以為是貪婪的日本吃光了藍鰭吞拿，其實不是的。這正是全球化的力量，不只全世界都在為日本供應漁產，全世界同時也都學懂了並且愛上魚生壽司，而吞拿正是其中最受歡迎的一種材料。因此是我們所有人一起透過日本料理，透過築地這個核心，在清剿地球上的一片海洋。最近一份調查報告指出，不出50年，藍鰭吞拿必將絕種。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;如果藍鰭吞拿真的絕種了，I will have contributed to it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Click &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;【明報專訊】沒有花車，只有單車，沒有魚翅，只有素翅，海鳥(鄧志文)與茉莉(易夢雅)以不一樣的方式完成「一生人一次」的婚禮。蔚藍天空下，二人於屯門鄉師自然學校操場接受百多名親友祝福，賓客紛紛送上自製有機小食。新人親自佈置會場，邀請小學生參演話劇娛賓，還以環保再造肥皂當紀念禮物。花費不足3萬元的「綠色婚禮」，一樣神聖又盡興。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;單車代平治 灑葉代灑花&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;結婚派對在7月1日舉行，有近160名嘉賓參加，當中三分一是小朋友。穿上唐裝的新郎海鳥，騎單車載新娘茉莉進場，旁邊的賓客以綠葉代替花瓣灑向新人。二人把學校走廊佈置成舞台，在「情繫綠色」與「共走未來」的對聯旁站，在朋友的結他伴奏下，與賓客一同唱出《甜蜜蜜》、《分分鐘需要你》等歌曲。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;每首歌都代表了二人相識的經過，一對新人更表演話劇，回顧二人四年愛情路，數名小朋友亦粉墨登場，台下嘉賓笑聲此起彼落。原來，整個婚禮，只籌備了一個月。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;「我們相信，不是有錢的人才可以結婚，只要花點心思，一樣可以十分難忘。」33歲新郎海鳥熱愛大自然，身形高大的他，曬得一身古銅色，一雙大眼睛笑起來充滿神采。訪問在婚禮前兩天進行，坐在他身邊的新娘茉莉顯得十分嬌小，她的皮膚白皙，長長黑髮增添幾分秀氣。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;茉莉說﹕「香港社會被消費主義牽走，現在過大時大節，最終的慶祝方法也只是消費，例如從前過新年，人們會花心思自製賀年食物，現在過新年，只會重視紅封包有多少錢，變得愈來愈功利。」她與海鳥相信，婚禮是互相祝福，他們邀請賓客參加婚禮，一同慶祝，一同感受當中的樂趣。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;友人環保婚禮發 親繪邀請卡&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;單看海鳥與茉莉自製的婚禮邀請卡，已可見其心思，50多張邀請卡皆用水彩繪上，每張圖案皆與別不同。海鳥認為，一般新人為了讓婚禮「好好睇睇」，不惜大灑金錢搞「排場」，結果浪費大量資源。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;海鳥自言，他年輕時已被婚禮的排場嚇怕，「我用海鳥作花名，只因它喜愛飛翔，四海為家，別人於是以為我是個浪子，但其實我不是有婚姻恐懼症，只是覺得婚禮動輒花過10萬元，怕沒有錢拍婚紗照和過大禮」。任職自然協會情意自然教育導師的海鳥，在屯門鄉師自然學校任教，數年前透過自然協會課程認識茉莉，海鳥欣賞茉莉唱歌悅耳動聽和熱愛小動物，茉莉則欣賞海鳥廚藝了得和待人以誠，二人同樣熱愛簡單自然的生活，慢慢走在一起。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;大約3年前，海鳥到台灣看過友人的綠色婚禮後，對心中既定的婚禮形式大為改變，他說﹕「朋友是台灣種子學院的導師，結婚時選在學校舉行，他們希望賓客可以更投入，故邀請學生及家長一同在台上唱歌和演話劇，在場的200多名賓客一同慶祝的感覺十分開心，我希望將來結婚也可以這樣。」&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;婚禮籌備一月 再造肥皂送賓客 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;籌備婚禮親力親為，海鳥說眾多友人主動相助，令他們十分感動。他說﹕「我們提倡不殺生，習慣素食，希望婚禮派對有素食提供，有朋友索性自製有機豆漿、麥包作派對小食，天然有益，有些則送上有機蔬菜和新鮮蔬果作禮物，懂得專業拍照的，更主動幫我們拍婚紗照，令預算大大減低了。」 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;結婚除了是兩個人的事，也是兩個家庭的事，他們說，綠色婚禮的美中不足，是受制於傳統形式。茉莉說﹕「父母認為擺酒很重要，我們打算請親友在餐廳吃自助素菜，但父母覺得不夠大體，故安排在酒樓辦素菜宴。」 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;她說，有時候最親的人往往是最不明白自己，可惜的地方，是未能做到「無金婚禮」，「最初不希望收到金飾，因為不少第三世界的國家都是因為爭奪黃金而引起戰爭，但母親一早已為我預備好，當我說不想戴時，她說不戴金飾便不像樣，我不想她不快，唯有順她意思，但只戴最輕巧的首飾」。擺酒當天，她戴了一龍鳳手鐲、一條金鏈及一對金戒指，並打算婚禮過後便把金飾轉贈妹妹。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;海鳥與茉莉強調，婚禮講求與親友分享喜悅，毋須受金錢限制，「只要有信心，沒有事情是做不了，婚禮是人生大事，不必大灑金錢包裝，最緊要兩人目標一致，轉個形式去辦婚禮，會有不一樣的體驗」。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="font-family:arial;"&gt;上禮拜有一天上班時下雨，公司大堂的服務員就向進來的人派雨傘袋。我內心交戰：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;用了雨傘袋，地便不會濕滑。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;雨傘袋製造廢物。要re-use太不方便，所以我相信一般人不會bother。如果每個人都去到哪，拿到哪，那數量便會很驚人。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span

They might save a few quid as well, and that's going to become ever more important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-9101718106729354194?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/9101718106729354194/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=9101718106729354194' title='1 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/9101718106729354194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/9101718106729354194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-there-any-point-in-going-green.html' title='Is there any point in going green?'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-7561748457916565422</id><published>2008-06-10T17:44:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T17:49:48.810+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>千言萬語</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SE5NkQP_m0I/AAAAAAAAAdA/V8lpgRNcKls/s1600-h/s-Earthquake_Jill_and_Richter.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210187104146922306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SE5NkQP_m0I/AAAAAAAAAdA/V8lpgRNcKls/s400/s-Earthquake_Jill_and_Richter.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 可能是我想像力太豐富了，看著這照片，我老覺得狗狗的眼中有點什麼似的。See &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.animalsasia.org/blog/index.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Jill's Blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-7561748457916565422?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/7561748457916565422/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=7561748457916565422' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7561748457916565422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/7561748457916565422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/06/blog-post_10.html' title='千言萬語'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SE5NkQP_m0I/AAAAAAAAAdA/V8lpgRNcKls/s72-c/s-Earthquake_Jill_and_Richter.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-214579343242305986</id><published>2008-06-06T16:20:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T16:27:32.729+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In us'/><title type='text'>Observing the Self</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SEj02DS24HI/AAAAAAAAAc4/jTMI358CScM/s1600-h/healingcover-medium__210200781408AM.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208682178488492146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SEj02DS24HI/AAAAAAAAAc4/jTMI358CScM/s320/healingcover-medium__210200781408AM.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Excerpt from The Yoga of Healing by Swami Sivananda Radha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What is it that heals? Is healing a power of the mind? Or of the heart? Or is healing by Divine grace? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;There is no simple and direct answer. Illness is an interplay of forces. When healing is needed, it is because there is some sort of disorder in the physical body. The cause of the disorder can be of a variety of natures that we have to clearly investigate. The disorder may be a karmic condition. Or perhaps there are psychological difficulties that cause reflections or disorders in the body, which in time and under certain pressure can become real organic troubles. Sometimes we may make ourselves sick through wrong action or wrong food. Sometimes we simply neglect our bodies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Remember that pain or illness is not a punishment. That is an over-simplification of our understanding of karma. Healing is a learning process. Sometimes it is an opportunity. You may have to begin with the Light of Understanding of the purpose of your life, of your present condition. Can you let that Light spread into other areas? Can you recognize the Light of compassion, or love? Ask yourself, What do I need to learn from my physical condition? What is the energy that created me in the first place? Where does life come from? Who am I? Healing is not a hit and miss affair as it seems to many people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Healing is a situation where we meet ourselves. We meet ourselves. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-214579343242305986?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/214579343242305986/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=214579343242305986' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/214579343242305986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/214579343242305986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/06/observing-self.html' title='Observing the Self'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SEj02DS24HI/AAAAAAAAAc4/jTMI358CScM/s72-c/healingcover-medium__210200781408AM.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-2856105221903247373</id><published>2008-06-04T16:53:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T17:00:10.312+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Around us'/><title type='text'>Interesting</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;根據史東小姐的經驗，interesting一字不能亂用，可是我覺得這個關於烏龜的報導實在interesting。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;男的100，女的80，就算是烏龜也稱不上年輕。世上就只剩下4隻楊子龜，3男1女，而當事龜大概有50-60年沒有見過同類，要成事絕非易事，可是沒辦法，總不能眼白白看著它們絕種。詳情請看&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/01/endangeredspecies.animalbehaviour"&gt;It's love or bust for Yangtze turtles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3570365338507912866-2856105221903247373?l=hkcompact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/feeds/2856105221903247373/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3570365338507912866&amp;postID=2856105221903247373' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/2856105221903247373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570365338507912866/posts/default/2856105221903247373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hkcompact.blogspot.com/2008/06/interesting.html' title='Interesting'/><author><name>阿貓</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04372790015890182288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570365338507912866.post-6142481902546892084</id><published>2008-06-03T18:13:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-03T21:21:57.324+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In us'/><title type='text'>在找到答案前</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_NWH0E2d48Dk/SEUbvyKIViI/AAAAAAAAAco/lgJ9U_TSgWs/s1600-h/MEDITATION+copy-preview.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207599051855910434" style="FLOAT: right;
