Should the "STOP the engine while waiting" programme be introduced in HK?

"STOP the engine while waiting" programme should be introduced in HK. A lot of drivers do not want to stop the engine running when they are waiting for someone. This is because they are enjoying the in-car air-conditioning. However this will continue to create hot air from the radiators and emission gas from the engine to the atmosphere, especially during summer where it is hot enough on the road.

In order to prevent the air pollution to worsen any further, the Government has already encouraged commercial vehicle drivers to upgrade to Euro 5 qualified vehicles. To further decrease the amount of air pollutant produced from cars in HK, the Government should legislate to encourage drivers to stop their engine when they stop above a certain amount of time.

However, the Government has to consider the effects to the public transport as well. Public transport should provide a comfortable environment to the passengers when they board. No one is willing to get on board if the temperature inside the vehicle is too hot. Therefore, a short time allowance could be applied to public transport for them to leave their engine running while they stop to wait for passengers.

The government has also started investigation on building a hybrid device for public transport to continue to use air-conditioning after the car engine is turned off. This will also help to make the programme more flexible and quicker to become effective.

As the global warming and air pollution is getting worse in the world, the Government should make this "STOP the engine while waiting" programme effective as soon as possible, with consideration to both the drivers and pedestrians.

However, continuous playing computer or video games will make the player tired. Players normally have lack of rest and affect their normal habits. They do not eat and drink until there is a chance for them to leave the game temporarily, which does not happen often.
