Hong Kongers produce 13,000 tons of waste daily, which will lead to the full capacity of the existing landfills in the coming years. Therefore, it is urgent for us to settle waste problems.
To enhance students’ understanding of the issue, in the I.H. forum, Ms Miranda Tang and Mr. Daniel Lau discussed the pros and cons of each solution to the waste problems, i.e, expanding the landfills and the construction of an incineration plant. Teachers’ vivid and detailed explanation not only helped students analyze the issue in different perspectives, but also motivated students to voice their opinions actively.
Students reflected that they benefited a lot from the I.H. Forum because it provided them with a platform to learn in an interactive way during lunchtime!
香港人每日製造萬三噸固體垃圾,為三個堆填區造成了相當沉重的負擔。現時堆田區即將飽和,我們必須更有效處理垃圾,以防垃圾圍城。
為了增加學生對這議題的認識,是次論壇我們邀請了鄧潔麗老師和劉柏豪老師一起探討各處理垃圾方案的利弊。老師精闢和詳盡的講解不單有助學生多角度評估各方案,亦有助鼓勵學生各抒己見。
是次論壇後,多名學生表示互動的論壇讓他們獲益良多。
