1It depends. A picture of the person looking happy (whether they appeared ill or not) would be a plus. At our grandparents' funerals, we put together a mixture of photos from their lives. The large photo at my grandmother's funeral was actually the one that is on display at the hospital where she worked (on the "Wall of Fame"). What photograph should be shown at someone's funeral?

9All supermarkets in Hong Kong charge a HK$ .50 levy on plastic bags. (Silly amount...it should be more expensive.) Most people bring their own bags to the store.

July 7, 2009

"The environmental levy scheme on plastic shopping bags will commence on July 7, Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau says. He calls on shoppers to make Hong Kong green by bringing their own bags.



Officiating at the scheme's pre-commencement ceremony at East Point City, Tseung Kwan O today, he said the scheme provides a direct economic incentive to discourage the indiscriminate use of plastic shopping bags.



Under the scheme, registered retailers must charge customers a 50-cent environmental levy for providing a plastic shopping bag with handle. Prescribed retailers include major and chain supermarkets, convenience stores, personal health and beauty stores, and supermarkets inside department stores.



"More and more people in Hong Kong now bring their own shopping bags and use fewer plastic shopping bags as they know more about the importance of the environment to the future of Hong Kong," Mr Yau said.



Under Secretary for the Environment Dr Kitty Poon today also distributed magnets carrying publicity messages to foreign domestic helpers in Central.


The messages on the magnets are printed in Chinese, English, Tagalog, Indonesian and Thai to enable domestic helpers to understand the scheme will start shortly and to encourage them to bring their own shopping bags."
