Tackling the source

Comments on Li Xing's column "Bottled water is not so eco-friendly"
(China Daily July 5)

Thank you for this article. I have also thought about this. I agree that
cleaning up the water sources and water distribution systems would help
in keeping our world clean and would help to keep our drinking water safe.

What intelligent writing, Ms. Li! Issues are always easier to deal with
when there is some indication of why there is more than one side.

A common alternative to bottled or tap water in the United States is
home-filtered water such as the Brita products. This is handy, since you
can "make" as much water as you need.

I plan to start reading this web site regularly. High quality, and
interesting.

I was interested in the column written by Li. There are too many column
related to economics and business development. What they are doing are
just describing the situation, or raising the problem without giving any
practical solutions.

Comparatively, the recommendations given by you are more realistic and
practical, keep working on it. Dig more new topics out.

Bad road policies

Comments on Zou Hanru's column "Mainland drivers need to shape up" (China
Daily, July 6)

Besides the lack of good behavior from drivers and pedestrians alike,
there are also many factors due to bad urban policies: streets too wide
to cross; lack of sidewalks or only pedestrian sidewalks; lack of well
designed street signs; uncoordinated road signboards, etc.

Also, the speed of public transportation tends to be too slow, so private
cars and taxis fill the need for speedier travel.

As a frequent visitor to HK and mainland, I wholly agree with the writer
of the article.

When I cross the road in mainland, I know it is the single most dangerous
experience I am likely to face, whereas in HK, I feel totally safe.

It is the attitude of the mainlanders that needs to change, coupled with
a stronger enforcement of the traffic laws, through more public
investment.

I would also recommend more rights for pedestrians over car drivers
because while a damaged car can be replaced, a pedestrian hit by a
speeding car cannot.
