Through the idea of carbon reduction and energy saving, it is our dream to make Taipei an eco-city. However, everyone has made it habit to depend on artificial facilities and the building of artificial facilities needs the great consumption of energy and emission of carbon dioxide. It is our job to adopt strategies that suits local circumstances to maximize the function of the building and put it into practice in our daily life. But, how should we do it? And what can we do?

Since 2000, Taiwan Environmental Information Association has been working on action advocacy and information translation. We want not only to catch up the latest information from abroad but also to make Taiwan the spotlight on the international stage. This year (2010), we will visit the United Kingdom and promote the concept of eco-city, natural building, green building, and low carbon development by visiting international organizations that have been working hard on these and introducing successful and thrilling cases to Taiwanese so that people in Taiwan will have a broad understanding about environmental protection.
