One reasonable way of coming to grips with our pollution problem in Hong Kong and Guangdong would be to first try to understand how much of each of the major pollutants companies are emitting on a yearly basis.
Apparently the U.S. EPA requires that pollution emitting industries provide a yearly estimate of the types and amount of pollution they are emitting.
Unfortunately this does not seem to be a requirement in Hong Kong. It would be interesting to know how much pollution New World First Bus (and First Ferry), for example, emit into our atmosphere every year.

It's been three days since Typhoon Chanchu swept by Hong Kong and the skies have quicky returned back to their usual low-visibility :(
