Eight events will take place at six venues across Hong Kong, with the Coliseum serving as a key location. Tse said the cooling coating is projected to lower the Coliseum's average temperature to 24 degrees Celsius, resulting in an annual savings of about 300,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity - equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by about 150 tonnes. This electricity-free cooling technology, patented by i2Cool - a company established in 2021 by the energy and environment school at City University - can be applied to roofs and exterior walls to effectively lower indoor temperatures without electricity. Tse personally visited the Coliseum's rooftop and observed a significant temperature difference between the coated area and other sections. The coating covers about 9,700 square meters of the rooftop and its side walls. In addition to energy savings, the coating will extend the lifespan of the waterproof layer on the rooftop and lower maintenance costs by minimizing temperature fluctuations. Tse said in the coming year, the authority will monitor indoor temperature and air conditioning energy consumption, review test results and evaluate cost-effectiveness. "If the results are positive, we will consider promoting this technology for broader application, particularly in newly constructed or renovated public facilities," he added. The Environment and Ecology Bureau is also assisting i2Cool in identifying local sites for establishing production lines that convert recycled materials - such as tiles, ceramics and glass - into high-value raw materials for electricity-free cooling products. Since the launch of its green tech fund in 2020, the bureau has supported 33 local projects from universities, public research institutions and private enterprises, investing around HK$147 million. Also, Tse said the SAR is exploring policies to attract companies focused on developing green technologies, aiming to establish Hong Kong as a hub for showcasing such innovations. adelyn.lau@singtaonewscorp.com

Wall Street stocks were little changed on Thursday while Asian equities rose in thin Boxing Day trade, extending their "Santa Claus Rally" with several bourses still shut for the holiday. Japan's Nikkei index closed up 1.1 percent, boosted by comments from the Bank of Japan governor and share price gains for top-selling automaker Toyota. China's plans for massive bond issuances in 2025 also bolstered investor sentiment. "Even though many in the region are still shaking off a bit of a holiday hangover, with several markets closed for Boxing Day, Asian stocks opened higher, riding a favorable wave from China's financial bond juggernaut," said Stephen Innes from SPI Asset Management. In New York, major indices veered in and out of positive territory in a sleepy post-Christmas session. The broad-based S&P 500 finished down less than 0.1 percent. Large technology companies that have led the market in much of 2024 mostly took a breather. These included Netflix, Tesla and Amazon, all of which declined. "What's interesting today is that we're seeing small stocks bounce back a little bit," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers, noting that the Russell 2000 index put on 0.9 percent. Holiday consumer data showed a 3.8-percent increase in US retail spending from November 1 to December 24, according to a Mastercard SpendingPulse review of a key period for retailers. London Stockton, an analyst at Ned Davis Research, noted that the "Santa Claus rally could still be alive, with strong seasonality into the end of the year." Stock markets have traditionally fared well in the last five trading days of the year and the first two in the new year, a trend known as the "Santa Claus rally." Among a number of possible reasons advanced by experts include the festive holiday mood and purchasing ahead of the end of the tax year. Innes said remarks from Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda in which he refrained from signaling a potential interest rate hike next month also "influenced bullish regional sentiments." Japanese market heavyweight Toyota ended nearly six percent higher after reports in the Nikkei business daily said it aimed to double its return on equity -- a key measure of a company's financial performance.

Visiting the graves of loved ones is usually an emotional experience, something Hoppers Crossing’s Margherita Loviscotto knows better than most. Since her son Gabriele’s death in 1985, Ms Loviscotto has visited his burial site at Werribee Cemetery on countless occasions, often attending two to three times a week. But after nearly 40 years, the 86 year old has had to scale back her cemetery visits, with a recent illness forcing her to go three weeks without tending to Gabriele’s grave, her longest absence since his passing. Her eventual return on Tuesday January 30 left Ms Loviscotto more emotional than ever. “Werribee Cemetery is a disgrace,” she said of the condition she found it in. “The grass was my height, there was grass everywhere. The weeds were everywhere. “I felt like crying.” Ms Loviscotto is far from alone in being upset with the condition of the cemetery. A subsequent social media inquiry by the Star Weekly attracted a stream of angry responses from Wyndham residents, with the cemetery variously described as ‘a disgrace’, ‘disgraceful,’ ‘crap,’ ‘grim and very unkept,’ and ‘not good enough.’ Like Ms Loviscotto, many remarked on the amount of grass and weeds that have been allowed to grow on the cemetery grounds. Vegetation overgrowth has been an issue across many public green spaces throughout Wyndham following unseasonably heavy summer rains. Wyndham council recently advised that it was struggling to deal with the amount of vegetation growth over the Christmas and New Year period and that mowing and lawn maintenance would take longer than usual. However, Werribee Cemetery is no longer the responsibility of Wyndham council, with The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT), that also operates cemeteries in Altona and Fawkner, taking over management in 2010. Margherita Loviscotto said she’d noticed a decline in the condition of the cemetery ever since. “Since the trustee took it over, the cemetery is neglected,” she said. “Before when the it was the council in charge, they cut the grass every two weeks and it was nice and clean.” Chief operations and people officer at GMCT, Dimi Patsisas, said the cemetery was mowed only days before Ms Loviscotto’s January 30 visit. “We are committed to maintaining Werribee Cemetery with care and respect,” he said. “We deployed additional staff there last Thursday (25 January) for maintenance, as a result of grass and weeds growing faster due to the unusually wet summer.” While GMCT is responsible for public spaces at the cemetery, care and maintenance of individual grave sites is up to family members, with many using their own equipment to cut grass around them. Despite criticism, few complaints about the condition of Werribee Cemetery are believed to have been lodged with GMCT.
