八大參選政綱：

1. 正視全球暖化及氣候反常
全球暖化及氣候反常與港人息息相關。政府應規管發電廠的二氧化碳排放量、加快發展可再生能源，並在經濟發展之餘大力推廣節能措施。

2. 引領更佳城市規劃
政府對發展商監管不足，屏風效應正威脅著市民。政府應規管座與座之間的距離，減低樓宇密度；推行天台綠化，降低夏季市區溫度。

3. 立法規管光污染
商店招牌及外牆廣告使用大量射燈。此舉不但浪費電力，而且令居民以至店外的顧客不適。政府應立法規管商店招牌及外牆廣告的射燈光度及使用的時間。

4. 發展多元化經濟及發掘環保的商機
政府應發展多元化經濟，例如極富發展潛力的本地生態旅遊業、環保回收業及有機農產品市場，以避免因過度依賴金融業等知識型行業，而導致低下階層廣泛失業。

5. 尊重及愛護動物
政府應設立一個獨立部門調查虐待動物的個案，並增撥資源，加強執法。對於虐待動物的罪犯，應判處較具阻嚇性的刑罰。

6. 制定長遠空氣質素政策
廣東省與香港政府簽訂了有關管制空氣質素的協議，承諾在2010年前致力把主要污染物的排放量降至低於1997年水平。根據香港的現況，部份污染物的減幅仍離目標甚遠。兩地政府應開始討論2010年後的空氣質素目標及達標時限，並制定具體方案。

The Election Platform of Roy Tam

1. Tackle problems of global warming and adverse climate change
Global warming and adverse climate change are closely related to the lifestyle of citizens. Convince the government to regulate by law the emission of carbon dioxide from power plants, expedite the progress of development of renewable energy resources and in the course of developing economy, promote energy saving with concerted effort.

2. Promote better town planning
Due to the government’s lack of proper control over property developers, walled building effect is threatening the good health and wellbeing of the public. Convince the government to regulate the distance between adjacent building blocks and the density of building blocks and encourage the creation of green roofs on buildings to lower the urban temperature during the hot summer.

3. Regulate light pollution
There is massive abuse of spotlights in retails shops and on outdoor advertisements at buildings. This not only wastes electricity, but also affects local residents and pedestrians. Convince the government to regulate the intensity and hours of use of the lighting in retails shops and on outdoor advertisements.

4. Develop a diverse economy and look for green business opportunities
In order to reduce unemployment among the grass roots while overrelying on knowledge-based finance industry, convince the government to develop a more broad based economy through measures such as the promotion of ecology tourism, the recycling business, organic farming and the agricultural products market.

5. Care for animals
Encourage the government to establish an independent department to investigate cases of cruelty to animals, increase the allocation of resources to enforce relevant laws and impose heavier penalties on offenders of cruelty to animals.

6. Formulate long-term policy for better air quality
The governments of Hong Kong and Guangdong Province signed a mutual recognition agreement for regulating air quality and promised to reduce the releasing amount of main pollutants below the level of 1997 by 2010. However it is obvious that under current policy these targets will not be met. Encourage both governments to have serious discussion and to implement concrete policies that will achieve better air quality targets beyond 2010.

Encourage the government to enforce by law the provision of the post of at least one Director of Environment at each listed company for the purpose of controlling, monitoring, and auditing the company’s performance on environmental protection.
