Absrtact
The main purpose of this project is in line with the EPA’s low-carbon homelands policy to help Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government (KSEPB) to practice low-carbon life in Kaohsiung City. We investigated more than 7 departments (totally 40) of Kaohsiung City Government every month during the project timetables, to ensure they all implemented the declaration of energy saving and carbon reduction. We also uploaded 123 articles to the Ecolife website, verify that the competent authorities to implement carbon reduction behavior weekdays; and sharing to social networking sites (Facebook and Plurk) up to 2,111 times, and the completion of the promotion of Kaohsiung City energy saving and carbon reduction action fans group on Facebook to 1,026 people. We completed 5 interdepartmental promotion of energy saving and carbon reduction measures. We completed 6 promotion of the mark of carbon reduction action; assisted and counseled 6 civil societies proposed for "carbon reduction actions mark, 2014”, and 4 of them acquired the mark. We held 6 sessions with a large-scale promotion on carbon reduction, the number of participants more than 200 people. According to hydro and power consumption Data in 2012, capita electricity consumption is # 7 in Taiwan. Capita water consumption is 268 liters per day, it’s higher than the UN's 250 liters per capita per day (LPCD) is recommended. In 2013, the water consumption of military department has decreased 12%. But non-military department has increased 4%. In EPA's water-saving competitions, the proportion of floating population and capita electricity consumption are highly positively correlated (r = 0.87). Kaohsiung City is a net outflow of population (net outflow of 3.12%), although it may result in lower capita electricity consumption, but the EPA's power saving indicator has also reduced about 3.12%. In 2011, Taiwan Water Corporation had modified the number of households’ types, resulting a significant decrease of the average water consumption. It conducted the annual EPA water-appraisal results do not reflect the real situation.
