Lights Out Hong Kong
Lights Out Hong Kong is a campaign in Hong Kong to protest against the city's air pollution. Organisers of the campaign urged people in Hong Kong to switch off their lights for 3 minutes at 8pm on 8/8/2006 as a statement of protest. However, Chief Executive Donald Tsang refused to support the campaign with a delay of the nightly light show, A Symphony of Lights, which started at 8 pm. In a reply to the request made to delay the light show, Donald Tsang said that the campaign could "give adverse publicity to Hong Kong as an international metropolis and a major tourist attraction."

Famous quotes containing the word lights:
“She is watching her country lose its evoked master shape watching
it lose
And gain get back its houses and peoples watching it bring up
Its local lights single homes lamps on barn roofs”
