Annie Lao Ka Wing, one of the five activists who organised the “Macau Plastic Waste and Pollution” petition, said yesterday that she was “extremely disappointed” with how the government had responded to her anti-disposable plastic campaign which had collected more than 4,700 signatures from the public last month.
Lao made the remarks in an interview with The Macau Post Daily last night.
In mid-August, Lao – a 28-year-old writer – and four of her friends formed an ad-hoc group and started the petition. The activists delivered the petition to the government at the end of August, demanding the government give a response in a press conference in a fortnight or by yesterday.
