1. Keeping the air-conditioning turned up does not have direct effects on the ozone layer. But, to turn up the air-conditionor requires electricity that is made by burned coal or oil and then igniting them creates lots of pollutants which have effects on the ozone layer.

2. Keeping the air-conditioning turned up too high is bad for the people who live and work in Hong Kong.
First of all, there are huge risk that take be sick with air-conditioningitis since it is almost samething for turning up 20 electric fans.
Also, air environment of indoor will be worse because door and window close when the air-conditionor turn up.

3. I dislike more, feeling too hot.
First, I can get a lot of stress when I felt too hot. So, it is bad for my health.
Moreover, If I felt too cold, I can wear more cloths. On the other hand, If I felt too hot, I would not know how or what should I do.
For these reasons, I think too cold is better than too hot.
