The EPA’s “Environment Info Push” app not only lets you look up air quality data, it also provides maps of green living spaces! You can use it to find the closest water fountain or public restroom! Bring a reusable cup with you next time you go out and you’ll be able to fill it up wherever you go! Best of all, the app is bilingual! 1.English Resource Recycling Information Taiwan’s recycling system is one of the best in the world! The official recycling website offers both Chinese and English versions to let the whole world see Taiwan’s achievements in this field! 2.Bilingual Environmental Protection Websites The websites for the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Funds, the Toxic and Chemicals Bureau, and others are now bilingual so people from other countries can better understand Taiwan’s environmental protection efforts. 3.Promotion of Environmental Protection Results Taiwan’s results in river water quality, air pollution control, and garbage reduction are being promoted with bilingual videos and presentations, sharing Taiwan’s experiences with the rest of the world. 4.Improving Workers’ English Capabilities The EPA offers its workers professional English courses and simulated international conferences or seminars for English presentation training. They even take part in beach cleanups with foreign representatives to Taiwan, all to increase their English communication abilities. Taiwan managed to avoid any typhoons this summer, but extreme weather is still a concern all around the world. Don’t forget that everyone has a part to play in keeping the planet safe and healthy!
