The
Kyoto Protocol has been entered into force for one year
today. Both in Yunlin county, and Tainan city, environmental
groups held rallies. Yunlin's Transworld Institute of
Technology assistant professor Chang Chi Gian led 6
university students yesterday on a naked swim. Tainan County
and City environmental unions also announced anti-Binnan
statements, and had skits to reinforce their statement on
anti-Binnan cases, anti-steel making industries, and
anti-petrochemical industries.
The
naked swim students covered their private parts with
banners, and wrote on their backs, "No Ba Ching Da Steel
Making Industires", then jumped into the ocean together.
Last year, on Feb 15th, these six students also
protested naked in front of the Executive Yuan, causing a
sensation.
Professor Chang explains, the Kyoto Protocol has been in
force for a year, but the Environmental Protection
Administration has approved the Binnan Industrial Areas
environmental assessment, and the Ba Ching Da Steel Making
Plants are still in movement. In addition, the Executive
Yuan interfered with rising oil prices, violating liberal
principles of energy industries, and missing a chance to
effectively lower the emission of greenhouse gases, raising
dissatisfaction among environmental groups. Tainan County
and City's environmentalists used a skit named "Seven
Streams of Smoke-The Spoonbill is Mad", to show that steel
making industries and petrochemical industries will kill
spoonbills, are a threat to the Chigu Lagoon ecology and
coastal scenery, speed up global warming, and are the cause
of floods. The Tainan City Environmental Union's president
An Diaw Hwang said that besides presenting the Binnan case's
assessment fault plead, they would take action to protect
the Chigu coastlines. |

of just talking about protecting the earth, we should act
right now! The first thing we can do is drive less. If it's

will lower carbon dioxide and relax our body. With these
efforts, the Earth can become healthy and active like it use
to be!
