This project began on March 25, 2016. The related tasks include: low-carbon organic diet promotion events, climate change adaptation promotion events, one regional seminar on low-carbon life, registration on the "Low Carbon Activities Platform”, the "Eco-Life Network for Cleaner Neighborhoods", the "Low Carbon Sustainable Information System", and the "Carbon Neutral Management Website", as well as carbon neutralization through "self-evaluation." The completion progress of each task as of the time this report was submitted is shown in Chart 1. Details concerning the results are as follows:
I. Low-carbon Organic Diet Promotion Events
Ten related promotional events have been held, including: promotion events on healthy vegetarian diets, campus organic gardens, organic diets and outdoor farm visits, totaling 10 sessions with the attendance of 1,099 participants. The total carbon emission produced in these events is 362.724 kg of CO2e. As organic vegetable planting experience activities were held, 850 vegetable sprouts were planted, with a carbon-reduction amount of 536.25 kg CO2e. The carbon-reduction amount achieved through replacing full meals with low-carbon vegetarian diets, on the other hand, is 411.06 kg of CO2e (527 persons x 0.78 kg CO2e per person). Not providing bottled water (or tea barrels and organic juice) nor printed material, helped reduce carbon emission by 123.86 kg of CO2e. Through implementing the use of eco-friendly utensils, cups, etc., turning off lights, water taps and computers when they’re not in use, and keeping the air-conditioning temperature at 26-28℃, we saved 1405.56 kg of CO2e. This adds up to 2476.73 kg of CO2e carbon reduction in total.
II. Regional Seminar on Low-carbon Life
We held a regional seminar on low-carbon life at Long-Yun Leisure Farm in Zhuqi Township, with a total of 32 participants and a total carbon emission of 302.26 kg of CO2e. The carbon-reduction amount achieved by replacing full meals with low-carbon vegetarian diets is 24.96 kg of CO2e. Meanwhile, by not providing bottled water, or printed material, disposable utensils and paper cups helped reduce carbon emission by 3.59 kg of CO2e. By turning off lights, water taps and computers when they’re not in use, keeping the air-conditioning temperature at 26-28℃, and using eco-friendly utensils, cups, etc., the carbon emission was reduced by 531.2 kg of CO2e. This adds up to 559.75 kg of CO2e carbon reduction in total.
III. Climate Change Adaptation Promotion Events
With the central government's policies concerning climate change adaptation as the core, we visited wetlands, created picture books on eco-friendliness and water conservation “piggy banks”, and held a total of 10 promotional events, with a total of 1,109 participants and a total carbon emission of 997.56 kg of CO2e. The carbon-reduction amount achieved by replacing full meals with low-carbon vegetarian diets is 250.38 kg of CO2e (321 persons x 0.78 kg of CO2e per person). Meanwhile,by not providing bottled water, or printed material, disposable utensils and paper cups helped reduce carbon emission by 124.32 kg of CO2e. By turning off lights, water taps and computers when they’re not in use, keeping the air-conditioning temperature at 26-28℃, and using eco-friendly utensils, cups, etc., the carbon emission was reduced by 2278.44 kg of CO2e. This adds up to 2653.14 kg of CO2e carbon reduction in total.
IV. Registration on the “Carbon Neutral Management Website” and Completing Carbon Neutralizing through “Self-Evaluation”
A total of 20 events have been registered on the “Carbon Neutral Management Website” (not including the regional seminar on low-carbon life). The total carbon emissions produced in these events are: 362.7248 kg of CO2e for the low-carbon organic diet promotion events, 302.2647 kg of CO2e for the regional seminar on low-carbon life, and 991.488 kg of CO2e for the climate change adaptation promotion events, reaching an overall total of 1354.2128 kg of CO2e. The total carbon reduction amounts for each of these events, on the other hand, are: 2476.73 kg of CO2e for the low-carbon organic diet promotion events, 559.749 kg of CO2e for the regional seminar on low-carbon life, and 2653.14 kg of CO2e for the climate change adaptation promotion events, reaching an overall total of 5129.87 kg of CO2e, much higher than the amount of carbon that was produced. Therefore, all events in this project fit the criteria for carbon neutralizing through self-evaluation. A total of 3775.6572 kg of CO2e extra carbon has been saved, a quota which can be used in carbon neutralizing in future events.
