LI-ON is a non-governmental organization established in 2011. Our name LI-ON came from “Light pollution”, which is the main focus of our organization. Light pollution is caused by using lights overly and inefficiently. Over the past few years, the problem of light pollution has been becoming increasingly serious. Recent reports suggest that the night skies in urban areas are on average 100 times brighter than those in rural areas.
LI-ON aims at fight against light pollution like the animal lion with passion and determination. We are committed to reducing light pollution and increasing the efficiency of using lights in Hong Kong. By doing so, we can reduce the negative impacts of light pollution on the environment and citizens, thus enhancing our living standard and the health.
Our missions can be sum up in four letters: L-I-O-N.
1. Lessening light pollution in Hong Kong
With actions, we aims at fighting against light pollution. We plan to start reducing light pollution at the most-polluted areas ,like Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok, in Hong Kong.
2. Increasing the efficiency of light use
We start increasing the efficiency of light use by providing a service for the residents to replace their low-efficiency light bulbs with our high-efficiency light bulbs. Doing so can reduce energy consumption. In the future, we will expand the service to other electronic appliances.
3. Obtaining a healthy living environment
Through different campaigns and activities, we aim to raise the awareness of the general public towards light pollution. In this way, people will be aware of the impacts of light pollution and will tackle it hand in hand, so as to create a healthy living environment.
4. Neutralizing the impacts of light pollution
Many residents' health has been harmed by light pollution. Therefore, we are going to provide them with some remedial solutions to alleviate the present situation.
