he issue of global warming and high fuel price in recent years has encouraged the adoption of measures of carbon reduction and energy saving in the world. Many countries also started to take this important issue seriously. The carbon reduction and energy saving are no longer a slogan but a popular environmental phrase. With the guidance and active promotion of the government and private organizations in recent years, people in Taiwan has been aware of the basic idea and knowledge about carbon reduction. Yet, they act as passive roles, for there are few practical and concrete actions for the public to take part in. Meanwhile, the impact of economic depression holds the whole idea back in promotional level, making the public and the industries choose to ignore and take a step backward. This attitude would bring considerable difficulties on carrying out the policy of the carbon reduction and energy saving. Our plan aims to encourage people to pay highly attention to the global warming as well as the importance of carbon reduction. We expect the public to be conscious of importance of this issue via creative competitions and interesting activities, and further, strengthen the influence on them by the way of education and putting it into daily practice. Moreover, we provide guidance to encourage the enterprises and the public in Taiwan to put carbon reduction into practice voluntarily. Through activity of Action Logo Verification about carbon reduction, we hope further to increase the knowledge of the public about the issue. We keenly look for the potential opportunity working with enterprises, private organizations and public interest groups to achieve the goal of education and promotion. Specific accomplishments of this year include Earth Day and World Environment Day, with an overall attendance of more than five thousand people, which brings out visible effect on promotion. In addition, activities about bear buddies (a Polar Bear and a Formosan Black Bear) for carbon reduction such as comic competition, naming activity and ringback tone composition contest etc., have significant performance as well with two thousand people attending.
