为打造低碳城市，威省市政厅“软硬兼施”，助力槟州实现2030年种植50 万棵树目标，迈向绿色州属愿景。 威省市议员大卫马瑟受访时表示，市厅严正看待种植及砍伐树木问题， 并与企业、发展商、学校、政府机构等合作，推动绿色发展。 他举例，市厅早前推出“1婴儿1棵树”计划，在拟定地点为初生婴儿植 树，不仅成为父母与孩子的纪念，还可提高醒觉意识。 大卫马瑟：不准随意砍树 他说，从相关法律规定方面，民众不可在未获得市厅许可下，砍伐直径 超过0.8米的树，发展商也需获得批准，才能砍树进行发展计划。 他续说，若欲砍树，发展商需准备树艺师报告，市厅将从报告中了解， 决定是否可砍树另植或移植树木，而砍1棵树，就要种回7棵树。 他坦言，有时候树木需“让路”给道路加宽等基设工程，相关单位理应给 予充分配合，贯彻政府植树绿化环境理念。 不过，他指出，对于移植树木，在威省一带，已有规定不允许移植的树 木种植在路旁，只能种在空旷地方，以策安全。 威省市厅积极推动种树计划，左为市长罗查理。 据了解，槟州从2008至2021年期间种了38万524棵树，而威省市政厅在 2018年，定下2022年前种植10万棵树的目标，目前已种植9万4621棵。 提供优惠予绿色建筑 杨顺兴：助舒缓州业者财务重担 大卫马瑟表示，为达到减少碳排放目标，市厅鼓励更多建筑物采纳绿色 建筑指数（GBI），并将提供优惠予符合资格者。 他指出，近年来人们对GBI的兴趣已逐渐增加，目前威省一带，尤其是 槟政府豁免酒店房租税6个月 峇都加湾，已有数栋建筑物达到GBI。 不过，他坦言，大家可能对GBI了解不深，实际上GBI不止关乎种树， 槟州旅游与创意经济事务行政议员杨顺兴宣布，豁免槟州酒店房租税为期六个 还包含节省能源等标准，因此当务之急是寻找相关方面专才，协助有兴趣 月，从2021年7月1日生效至12月31日。 者。 杨顺兴发文告表示，全国于6月1日起实施为期两个星期的 “全面封锁” 措施，因 “我们正大力推广GBI机制，希望有越来越多人采纳GBI，同时我们考虑 此希望此举措可以舒缓州内酒店业者的财务重担。 未来或制定相关指南，方便大家。” “马来西亚疫情不乐观，最近病例更是每日创新高。同时，在全面封锁期间，酒 市厅立下2022年低碳城市目标，早前与大马绿色建筑物联盟结成战略伙 店只可用作为隔离用途。我希望豁免酒店房租税可以帮助他们缓解现金流吃紧的 伴，合作方面为传授相关知识、提供训练等，推动威省节能建筑物发展。 情况。” 探讨把垃圾再循环 他也说，这是槟州政府第三次豁免酒店房租税，首次是于2020年7月1日至12月 31日，随后也将此豁免期限延长至2021年6月30日。 大卫马瑟指出，市厅与各界探讨制定相关计划，希望可设法把垃圾变“ ”如今国内疫情趋势不稳定，严重影响酒店业的发展，很多酒店至今仍然处于亏 黄金”，减少送往浮罗布隆垃圾场的垃圾量。 损状态。” 他解释，随着市厅早前接管安邦惹惹垃圾转运站，当局正研究运用科技 “槟州政府了解业者们所面对的挑战，也明白业者们的生存是目前最为重要 处理垃圾，以转为生物气体（bio gas）、能源等资源。 的。” 他认为，通过上述计划预料还可减少从安邦惹惹垃圾转运站载送垃圾到 浮罗布隆垃圾场，相信将有助降低碳排放量。 “如果我们不尽快寻找合适方案，减少垃圾，浮罗布隆垃圾场将会过度 饱和，到时候就只能另寻他处处理垃圾。”
