below.
1. Conducting a series of experiential environmental education activities
In order to promote concepts of environmental protection to the
public, governments of all levels conducted various activities to celebrate
important environmental dates. This year, a series of environmental
education activities had been organized to celebrate four well-known
environmental dates:
(1) Earth Day
(2) World Environmental Day
(3) World Animal Day
(4) International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction
2. Conducting environmental knowledge competition for volunteers
Environmental volunteers help cities and counties by patrolling and
maintaining cleanliness of their neighborhoods. In order to encourage these
volunteers and enhance their environmental knowledge, Taiwan EPA had
held environmental knowledge competitions for these volunteers for four
consecutive years. This year, the competition was held on 10th of July.
3. Organizing Taipei City’s annual environmental knowledge contest
The environmental knowledge contest was held annually to enhance
public’s environmental knowledge. There were four categories of
attendees: students from elementary school, junior high, high school, and
ages beyond high school. This year, the competition was held on 5th and
6th of October.
4. US-Taiwan eco-school partnership program
Six schools were elected to participate in the US-Taiwan eco-school
partnership program. Among them, three were enrolled last year. This
project was to help the Taipei City EPB to conduct the election process and
to help the elected schools to execute the eco-school path.
5. Organizing environmental education training sessions, management, and
utilization of the volunteers
Taipei City has 197 environmental volunteers. Among them, 97 are
still very active in the participation of environmental activities. The first
training session for volunteers was held on April 25th.
6. Raising environmental awareness of general public and businesses.
Taipei City has three different approaches to raising public’s
environmental awareness: (1) conducting environmental training courses for
business sectors; (2) conducting summer camps for students; and (3)
organizing various environmental events for the public.
