| 全文 | EPA Urges Residents to Clean Up Surroundings on Clean Up the World Weekend The third weekend of September is Clean Up the World Weekend. To spark the public’s passion to protect the environment and take part in this global event, the EPA cleaned up the surroundings within 50 meters around the EPA building and encouraged the public to follow suit. The EPA pointed out that in the most recent ten years of inspections of local governments’ performance in cleaning and maintenance of the environment, 11 counties or cities, 47 towns, and 107 boroughs received high marks. Sixty percent of towns have received high marks for cleanliness, showing that the environmental cleaning and maintainence work has gradually made its way to local areas. One example is Dongying Borough in Yingge District of New Taipei City. This borough received an outstanding neighborhood award in 2016. There, local environmental volunteers and the borough office and district government are all actively involved in cleaning up the environment. The neighborhood took inspiration from its experience of making ceramics and turned the formerly messy area into a corridor of time. This decision gave the environment a brand new look and emphasized environmental cleanliness and tidiness as a new value. Another example can be found in Tainan City’s Jinhua Borough, which had the highest number of environmental volunteers in the southern part of the city. The borough’s willingness to participate in cleaning up the environment, its desire for transformation and its community-building, have led many government agencies to award the borough as a model community. It was previously awarded second place for Category A (population under 20,000) of the International Awards for Livable Communities. Since 2006, the EPA and other government agencies in the central government have continued to promote the campaign to clean up and maintain the area within 50 meters around an office building. Local govern-ments have also laid out regulations for cleaning the environment. For instance, based on Tainan City’s envi-ronmental cleaning regulations, chain convenience stores that have been announced as controlled enter-prises have a responsibility to clean areas within two meters of the businesses’ facilities or parking lots. The support and promotion of local governments has been the most powerful force in keeping the public and private spaces clean. According to EPA EcoLife Network statistics, as of 31 August 2017, a total of 17,739 volunteer patrol groups have been registered. In addition, there have been 16,799 notifications, 324,238 patrols logged, and 156,179 cleanups recorded. Most volunteers show great passion for their work to clean up and maintain the environment. Their effort reduces the burden on sanitation squads and emphasizes the need to care for the living environment together. The passion of volunteers is truly praiseworthy. |
