Taking the Eco Life as foundation, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) further executed many plans such as “Clean Up Taiwan Multi-tiered Mobilization” and “Cleaning Up Taiwan’s Coastline”. For this year, the project was aimed at the enhancement of environmental cleanliness and tidiness; emphasis was put in incorporating the participation of central government agencies, county and city governments, communities, schools, businesses, volunteer groups and citizens, with the common goal of working together to improve living environments and achieve sustainability. In order to let the result of tidiness grading show the real maintaining circumstances, the EPA carried out the “Creation of Sustainable, High-quality Environmental Sanitation” plan. Through the project, the tidiness of homeland has been gradually improved.At the end of November, 7,801 villages have already reached the average score above 80 points. It was a substantial improvement compared to last year. The locals made every endeavor to maintain the environment tidiness. In particular, the efforts to promote internationalization, tourist attractions and urban areas have been dedicated to environmental preservation works, such as coastal cleanup, river course dredging, open area plantation, and streets renovation, and improved foreigners’ perception of Taiwan. We also identified items needed improvement. Among them, the waste (bag), bulk waste, and construction waste disposal were the most serious ones. We hope in the future counties and cities can focus on strengthening the maintenance of priority sites, launching public movement for cleaning their homes to reach the goal of creating the sustainable and healthy environment.
