電器稅最高250元 店舖代徵 倡消費者負擔 按體積計算


電器稅最高250元 店舖代徵 倡消費者負擔 按體積計算

深水埗是電腦商場集中地,信成佳負責人李永強擔心,由商戶代收電子廢物徵費,日後行政上會有困難,又指電腦「砌機」有不同組合零件,如果日後徵費,登記程序十分繁複。

【明報專訊】政府即將向立法會提出廢電器及電子產品回收徵費法案,在電器代理業界強烈反對下,落實改由電器零售店代為徵費,由消費者負擔;亦即進口商毋須分擔污染責任。


電器回收徵費向「四電一腦」徵收,即電視機、冷氣機、雪櫃、洗衣機及電腦,視乎體積徵費100至250元不等,政府另斥資4億元在屯門環保園興建回收廠,配合法例加強回收舊電器。


零售業界憂打擊小型店舖
電器及電腦業界均反對零售層面徵費,香港電腦商會主席梁定球擔心業界要減價抵消徵費,以保障銷情,但中小企利潤微薄,可能「一百幾十(元)的回收費都未必啃得落」,擔心徵費計劃會淘汰小型電腦商舖,令消費者選擇減少。


政府去年1月就「四電一腦」回收徵費諮詢公眾3個月,收集到2700多份意見,環保署昨向環境諮詢委員會提交立法建議,安排在下周一討論,並於月底諮詢立法會。


進口商毋須分擔污染責任
環諮會文件顯示,計劃不會擴展至其他電子產品如手提電話、數碼相機及電子遊戲機,因為這些產品的二手市場甚活躍,棄置比例較低。


本港每年棄置的廢電器達7萬公噸,當中「四電一腦」佔85%,故政府先集中處理該5種產品。針對收費方式及水平,政府參考公眾意見後,認為零售層面徵費較恰當,至於在入口層面及棄置時才徵費,分別有行政費過高及非法棄置問題。


然而,在零售層面徵費,亦意味着進口商毋須分擔污染責任。
徵費水平則視乎電器體積而定,介乎100至250元不等,並指個人電腦體積小,傾向徵收較低費用。


政府斥4億屯門建回收廠
現時有約1.3萬公噸廢電器在本港循環再造,其餘4.6萬公噸出口。政府希望透過徵費,將每年在港處理的廢電器提升至3萬公噸,佔整體四成。為建立回收制度,環保署建議斥資4億元,於屯門環保園興建一座佔地3公頃的回收廠,每年營運費用則高達2.2億元,按本報計算,處理每件廢電器的平均成本為110元。政府將委託承辦商,以「設計、建造、營運」模式營運回收廠,並要負責回收服務,但政府未交代回收廠詳細營運模式。


綠色力量科學及自然護理總監鄭睦奇表示,業界向政府上繳的費用,可在計劃初期成立一個基金,以支付回收廠承辦商的營運費用,讓市民明白徵費用於環保,貫徹污者自付精神。但他指出,政府在計算徵費水平時,必須準確反映回收成本,否則變成公帑補貼,形成無底深潭。

Wi-fi expert Barrie Trower warns of health dangers


Wi-fi expert Barrie Trower warns of health dangers
7th October 2010


Wi-fi expert Barrie Trower will be hosting a meeting in Swindon on Friday to discuss the issue of wi-fi, and what he perceives are the dangers of the technology.


The meeting will be held at the Pilgrim Centre in Regent Circus on October 8. Doors open at 7pm and the talk starts at 7.30pm. There will be a question and answer session afterwards at this free event.


http://easss.com/computers


Ahead of the meeting, Barrie chatted to Swindon Advertiser columnist, Liz Brackenbury, about his take on the introduction of wi-fi in Swindon.


Liz: Hi Barrie, thank you for inviting me down to interview you. As you know I write a column for the Swindon Advertiser. I write about topics that concern me as a parent and on subjects which I feel passionate about, especially local issues. 


One of the subjects I wrote about in the paper was my concerns over the implementation of 1,400 mini masts in Swindon that will create an electro mesh over the town and the effects it might have on Swindon residents’ health. 


Firstly can you give me a bit of your background, as to what you’ve done?


Barrie: Yes of course. I trained in the1960s with all aspects of microwave technology and microwave warfare. I teach advanced physics as a profession, which again involves microwave knowledge. I am also the author of two TETRA (Terrestrial Trunk Radio) reports for the police federation and I am now invited all over the world to talk on this subject


Liz: Can you tell me what exactly is wi-fi? A lot of people don’t really understand what it is.


Barrie: Wi-fi is a computer system that works off microwaves. It transmits and receives microwaves, the information is carried in the microwaves


Liz: Why should we be concerned about that?


Barrie: Microwaves react with water. That includes water in the body. That’s how microwave ovens work, they react with water. They are not like radio waves. We are now using microwaves for a communication system, these microwaves will react with our water-based bodies


Liz: Surely microwaves have been around since the start of time? They are a natural occurrence. So what’s the problem?


Barrie: Yes that’s true we have evolved with microwaves, but we haven’t evolved with what is coming out of all the mobile phones and wi-fi transmitters. These are unnatural levels. 


Also the difference is that the planet’s natural microwave background is static. This is not a static field, it’s an osolating field. 


What microwave communication is using are pulsed microwaves. It’s not the microwave so much that’s the danger, but the fact that it is pulsed. These pulses interfere with our body’s natural rhythms, our brains, our hearts - everything.


Liz: You said your background is in microwave warfare, but what's that got to do with wi-fi?


Barrie: Microwaves have been used in warfare since the 1960’s. They are the perfect stealth weapon. You can’t see them, you can’t feel them, you can’t smell them, you can’t touch them. 


All you have to do is beam your victim with levels of pulsed microwaves to cause illness, either mental and physical, or both, depending on the frequency used. 


My job was to measure the level of microwave frequency used and see what illnesses were caused by it.


Liz: Surely you don’t mean that modern wi-fi technology is using the same levels of frequency as were used in warfare to make people ill?


Barrie: Yes, that’s absolutely what I’m saying. It’s exactly the same microwave frequency used in wi-fi technology that was used in warfare.


Me: Wi-fi seems to be everywhere, in cafes, on trains, in hotels, even in the motorway service station on the way down here. It has been promoted as a good thing. 


Everywhere seems to be offering free wi-fi? How can this be allowed if this technology has history that links it to human illnesses?


Barrie: Governments have known of the effect on the human body from microwaves since the 1970s. It’s been cited and published in thousands of research papers. The public is being sold a lie. 


The telecommunications industry is bigger than any government. 


It can pay another scientist to contradict an independent scientist’s findings, and publish research in their favour. This creates a state of confusion and contradiction. 


Most people don’t have the time to sift through all this information. Therefore misinformation is circulated. 


Wi-fi is promoted as a new technology, innovative and ground-breaking when nothing can be further from the truth. The ill-effects of this technology have been known for years.


Liz: What would you say to people who'd say this was all scaremongering?


Barrie: I would say scaremongering is when you say something for effect without having the evidence to back it up. I have all the published, cited and documented proof to substantiate what I say. The evidence is here; I can prove and support what I say.


Liz: What would you say to the people of Swindon?


Barrie: What I’d like to say to Swindon is get me in front of your councillors and local MP s. Get me down to Swindon and invite the public and the press and media to be there so they can hear what I’ve got to say. 


Invite people from the oncology department, cancer specialists, headteachers, governors, principals, members of the public. Get me down to Swindon and I will prove why this is cannot happen in Swindon.
