環境資訊協會徵求對環境充滿熱情的英國在地志工！
邀請您一同加入「環保青年團隊」，就在今年（2010）8月25日至9月6日，與我們一起踏往永續建築取經之旅！
透過節能減碳理念的融合，創造一個與環境共生的都市，讓台北市成為生態都市，是我們的夢想。但是依賴人工設施已成為大家的習慣，而人工設施的建設，卻需要耗用許多能源、排放二氧化碳所換取來的。採取因地制宜的設計方式來發揮建築的最大機能，並且落實在日常生活空間，是我們每個人都可以行動的，但，該怎麼行動？又可以有什麼作為呢？走！加入「環保青年團隊」一起踏往英國取經之行吧！
台灣環境資訊協會自2000年一直投入在行動倡議與資訊翻譯上，不但希望能讓國內訊息能與國際接軌，也希望在國際舞台上能看見台灣的存在！在今（2010）年，我們即將前往英國參訪，希望將國外生態都市（ecocity）、自然建築（natural building）、節能綠建築（green building）、低碳發展（low carbon development）的理念與作法，透過參訪國外推動這些理念的機構，引介讓人振奮的成功案例，讓國人更加了解我們實際上還有其他選擇。
在此，我們想要徵求在英國倫敦（London）、德文郡托特尼斯（Totnes）、布萊頓（Brighton）、斯文登（Swindon）、萊斯特（Leicester）當地的留學生、志工等，可以在2010年 8月25日至9月6日期間，一起參與台灣環保青年取經之旅！除了可以共同參訪以下組織團體之外，在地環境介紹、城市導覽（都市規劃、綠建築、社區網絡等），若能提供簡便的住宿接待或交通接送，對我們此行有限的經費預算之餘，將是莫大的助益！
歡迎來信或來電洽詢，活動聯絡人：鄭香君（elana1018@gmail.com）、蔡錫昌（joshua_tsai@hotmail.com）；02-23021122#221。即日起至8月14日歡迎與我們聯絡。
