While the government is promoting the northern metropolitan area, the work on Lantau tomorrow is still going on non-stop. Yesterday (8) the Environmental Advisory Committee held a meeting on the project research on Lantau Tomorrow (artificial island in the central waters), and all the researchers from the research institute were present as observers. During the meeting, the consultant company stated that it will submit the "EIA Study Brief" of the artificial island within this month (November), officially launching the first wave of the Lantau project tomorrow.

However, after reviewing the document by several members, in addition to finding that the artificial island has a sequence of environmental research planning, the "Hong Kong 2030+ Strategic Environmental Assessment Feasibility Study Report.
Hong Kong 2030+ Strategic Environmental Assessment Feasibility Study Report" are important references for artificial island research. The 2030+ Sustainability Assessment” is even missing. When the members wanted the government to explain further, the responsible colleagues of the department did not attend today because of the "broad fog", so they could not get a specific response. Later, they admitted that "the specific shape, scope and size of the island number list have not yet been determined." The research worth $220 million will be reported without even completing the basic homework. We really have to wait and see. What quality of "EIA Research Summary" will be submitted this month? Will there be a "proud method" when you enter the face? In the face of the EPA's criticism on the specific environmental issues of artificial islands, Huang Yuanhui said today that the area "can be increased or decreased". Echoing the "shrinking" of Lantau tomorrow by Carrie Lam, under the government's new normal, the variability of the "vision" of artificial islands is already quite large.
As you can see, the artificial islands do not know whether they will pass the EIA approval in the future. Therefore, in addition to helping the public to see the "Summary of EIA Research" that will be released soon, and during the public consultation period in the future, they should not miss the opportunity to express in the letter, and also "explode" the environmental justification of the artificial island. If you want to know more about the environmental disasters of artificial islands, the public can also pay close attention to them. This research, together with Greenpeace, is the first to conduct in-depth investigations into artificial island projects around the world. The ambitious development project eventually became a "rotten island boy"! In fact, as long as you do your homework, you will know that you can learn from the past, and "Tomorrow's Lantau" will bring catastrophic environmental consequences.
