The Plan (Phase I)

• IF ENERGY IS CONSERVED, WHY IS THERE IS STILL ENERGY CRISIS?

• To articulate students' concepts between energy and energy source/ fuel; and the relationship between the fuel and energy.

Seed questions posted by teachers in this phase

first focus on the "whats" in energy Crisis, and then

students are scaffold to deal with "why" or "how"

questions in Energy Crisis.

• Solving the energy crisis by designing or developing (Group level activity)

• In-depth discussion of energy and related concepts stimulated by 6 thoughtful notes from students’ earlier work. (Community level activity)

23 Mar 2007 25

Group level activity - Solving the energy crisis by designing or

developing• Students are invited to work in groups to contribute to

solving the energy crisis by designing or developing something. Their contribution can be in one of the following three ways:

a. Contributing to public education on energy crisis and energy conservation: For example by designing artifacts (Posters, songs, movie clips, animations, etc.) that will help the public to understand better about the energy crisis and energy conservation, and what they can do to help

b. Designing technology that will help solve the energy crisis: The “product” can be an actual artifact that can be operated or it can just be a design plan for an artifact that can help tackle the energy crisis problem by technology

c. Developing energy conservation policies/plans/proposals, with rationales, for the government/schools/families/individuals in HK to carry out

Summarize

23 Mar 2007 46

美國的問題

〔我的觀點 〕對於人類活動是導致全球暖化的原因，我是支持的。人類的生活愈來愈好，科技天天進步。我認為他們的目的除了是為經濟為是賺錢外，是沒有其他的目的。現今有那些環保科技展例如台北國際能源環保暨水科技展，表面上是展出不出的環保設備，其實只是提供一個場地給不同的公司看看大家有沒有交易的空間。直接來說他們只是借用了環保這個名字來賺錢。對於真正環保的幫助不大。

23 Mar 2007 47

誰要付最大的責任？

〔我的立場〕 ……但我認為應該以污者自付的大前題來分析每個國家應付的責任。

〔我的觀點〕 球暖化是人類的責任是無可厚非的，但是我們也是因該要想一想哪個國家要付最大的責任？在我的立場來說，我認為美國要付上最大的責任。美國人口佔全球的4.63%，卻消耗掉全球20.72%的能源，排放的二氧化碳佔全球總量的21.82%。一個擁有如此多資源的國家，又是最大的污染物排放國要她減低污染量是個絕對合理的要求。但是在1997年的京都議訂書中，要求把溫室氣體排放量減少百分之五，回復到1990年的水平。但是美國因指條約對經濟影響太大，所以拒絕確認協議書。

23 Mar 2007 48

反省

〔我的立場〕我認為一些較發達的國家，例如:英國，美國...她們有關全球暖化的危機並非低，只是她們對這些問題視而不見。我認為是因為她們的自私……

〔我的觀點〕 其實全球暖化是否只是與這些較發達的國家有關？我認為並非只是這樣，而是認為全球暖化與全世界所有人有關……

• 〔我的反思〕究竟我們又給了大自然什麼呢？只是不斷的破壞嗎？然後把一切的惡果都推在大自然上，但自己又毫不作出反省嗎？

• 究竟在全球暖化的事件中，我們可以學到什麼？

23 Mar 2007 49

不是未影響到，只是明知故做。

〔我的理由〕我認為即是像林同學提到既統計指出有13%的美國人說他們從來沒看過有關全球暖化的消息，但我相信大部份排出有害氣體的是見多識廣的商人……

〔值得討論的問題〕澳洲政府知道全球暖化會對全國造成影響，她們不應以經濟利益先行而是全球人類的利益。澳洲政府不加入京都議定書的理由可以說是無理，氣候的影響力足以令全球人類死亡，到時要金錢有用嗎?要怎樣才能達到可持續發展?

23 Mar 2007 50

發達國家於全球暖化問題上有不可推卸的責任

〔我同意〕……首先, 京都議定書對普通人來說當然是舉腳贊成, 但對商人來說無疑是賺錢的絆腳石。就以全球第1大國美國為例, 經濟持續成長加上美國每單位二氧化碳減量成本較高, 進行減量工作可能會對其產業、經濟產生極大衝擊, 所以美國對京都議定書表現出抗拒的態度。另外, 澳洲總理聲稱該條約會減少澳洲人的工作機會所以不肯簽署。反而澳洲工黨卻完全支持京都議定書, 現在這已成為澳洲政治中最嚴重爭論的議題。但美國及澳洲是全球排放最多溫室氣體的國家, 若少了她們的參與, 成效1定微乎其微。所以要對抗全球暖化的問題, 必定要國與國之間定下協議, 攜手合作減低溫室氣體排放量。

23 Mar 2007 51

一同存在的環境保護及經濟發展

〔我的立場〕我相信全球暖化是人類活動所致, 而人類活動最終的目的是為了謀取更高利益, 至於這些人類活動都能帶動經濟的發展。 在經濟發展與環境保護有衝突的情況下,兩者真的不能並存嗎? 我認為是可以並存的……

〔我的反思〕其實 , 沒有條約的監管, 人類會否真的自行解決環境污染越來越嚴重的問題呢?

23 Mar 2007 52

不但要用條約監管, 還要進行公民教育

〔我的觀點〕全球暖化的主題, 我認為除了全球訂定條約減少排量, 還要靠各地政府對當地居民進行公民教育, 多作宣傳片及海報, 在小學生的課本加入污染問題

的課題, 從小開始建立保護地球的意識, 相信公民教育有助解決全球暖化。

23 Mar 2007 53

„各地‟政府真的可以進行公民教育?

放棄軍事可能有幫助...

〔我的立場〕我認為美國,英國等已發展國家不但要在自己國內進行公民教育,還要幫助未發展國家或貧窮的國家推行,才能做到'各地政府對當地居民進行公民教育'.

〔我的意見〕其實我覺得已發展國家幫助未發展國家,不需要特別新增一項支出.以美國為例,它在國防部例行預算中,預算了4,810億美元,如果用各國軍費和國防費以幫助未發展國家發展改善全球暖化的項目,或發展改善全球暖化問題的方法,可是綽綽有餘.其實軍費和國防用處何在?就是為了正義?……

23 Mar 2007 54

獎勵比懲罰更為有效!

〔我不同意 〕立法能完全阻止全球暖化問題。也許，立法能在即時減少污染上有顯著的效果，但只是冶標不冶本的方法而已。所謂冶世用重典，但環境污染並不是作奸犯科、危害生命，而已現時世界上已經有不少公約條例規管，如……同學所說再加強罰則，亦只會物極必反，即時衍生不同的社會問題，如電力供應等。

〔從另一個角度看〕我認為教育是很重要，但我建議所有國家都可以參考某些在環保政策上成功的例子加以仿效，如：加拿大及日本等，他們在回收廢物及減排上都令人非常滿意……

23 Mar 2007 55

人的自私使地球歩向滅亡

〔我的反思〕美國是自私的，但我想了想：其實我都好自私。

〔我的問題〕大宣家有沒有想過自己都是十分自私？我們不斷發展新的科技，不斷使用、浪費資源，污染地球。目的是什麼？為的就是賺更多的錢去改善自己的生活質素。我們是否應該檢討自己 自私的行為？如果我們繼續自私下去，地球是否會滅亡？大家可以想一想。

23 Mar 2007 56

理論和實踐是兩回事

〔我的立場〕……理論和實踐是兩回事。環境保育是談何容易？雖然香港人都知道環境保護的重要性，但有多少人真是會實踐，為地球著想？
