    Extreme weather and waste reduction / Hong Kong's updated children growth charts

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about extreme weather and waste reduction, which were key themes of Earth Day on Monday.

    This year's Earth Day came amid a series of weather events recorded around the world over the past few days.
    Authorities in Guangdong said three people had died and 11 were missing after continuous heavy rainfall in the province.
    Last week, Dubai, in the Middle East, saw its heaviest rainfall in 75 years, bringing the city to a standstill.
    Weather scientists largely attribute an increasing incidence of extreme events to climate change, with some environmentalists voicing concern about the
    impact on our landfills.
    So what can we as individuals do to alleviate the effects of changing weather patterns? And how can we further improve on our waste reduction record?
    After 9:45, we're learning more about a new growth chart for children based on a major new study.

    Relaxing land guidelines for brownfield sites / Covid sub-variant

    主持人:Janice Wong and Jenny Lam

    On Wednesday‘s Backchat we’re looking at the easing of government guidelines that could free up more than 300 hectares of land for brownfield operators.
    Many brownfield operators — who had run warehouses or carparks on degraded agricultural land — have been complaining after they were forced to relocate for the development of new towns.
    Now they can apply to use 24 plots of land dotted across the New Territories as brownfield sites for up to three years.
    Two-thirds of the new land available are in green-belt areas or are designated as farmland.
    Is this a good solution? What impact would this plan have on the environment? Are there any viable alternatives?
    After 9:45, we‘ll find out more about a new Covid sub-variant found in Hong Kong.
    Let us know what you think on our Facebook page, Backchat on RTHK Radio 3, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 233 88 266.
