Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de Lama
Not far from the southern shore of Hong Kong Island, there's a small scenic island called Lama. That's where they build a large coal fired power plant supplying a large portion of electricity needs on Hong Kong island. This stretch of the beach is sandwiched between the power plant and a sewer exit. Since there are so few accessible beaches in Hong Kong. On a nice spring weekend, people still hang out at this beach even if the water quality and scenery is less than perfect.
This photo perfectly illustrates a future world if we are not careful in preserving mountains, rivers, wetlands, forests, beaches, oceans, etc. dedicated solely to enjoying and experiencing its beauty. No one wants to sit on a beach with a coal plant nearby. No one. Especially if there are alternative solutions. It is important to make our current generation care about Mother Earth for our future generations.
