A List of Suggested Topics on Global Warming/Climate Change for Various Fields of Discipline

Here are just a few topics different departments could be discussing during Earth Week.
在這地球週當中,一些不同科系的系學會一起討論的主題〈有關環保的問題〉

  • College of Social Sciences
    Economics

    http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=06-P13-00038&segmentID=4
    Interview with Robert Stavins of Harvard University (Director of Environmental Economics program) on how economics will be effected if there's a stop on CO2 emission.
    跟哈佛大學環境經濟學系的主任 Robert Stavins 談談說假如不產生二氧化碳的話,我們的經濟將會受到如何的影響 。

  • College of Sciences
    Marine Science – being powered by tidal energy,, electricity from wave power
    研究要如何發展使用海浪,潮汐等較環保的力量來發電

Geology/Geography
Beneath the thin layer of rock that makes up Earth's surface is a clean, renewable resource called geothermal energy. This energy can be produced by capturing hot water and steam from deep in the earth or by using the relatively constant temperature of shallow ground to heat and cool. Tapping geothermal energy is an affordable and sustainable solution that will reduce fossil fuel dependence.
淺層地表下的岩石,產生了一種乾淨,可復原的資源稱之為地熱。地熱可從地底下的熱水和蒸氣來產生,或是利用地表淺層相對而持續的溫度來加熱和冷卻。選擇地熱是一個不用花大錢,又可以取之不盡的一個好方法,更能減低我們對石化燃料的依賴。


  • College of Engineering
    Textile Engineering –
    1. http://www.libolon.com.tw/libolon.php (a eco-friendly textile company Taiwan can be very proud of and one in which one would like to work for) 是一家台灣感到驕傲的環保紡織公司以及可以 和那間紡織公司做相同事情
    2. What innovative projects have other textile companies in Taiwan taken?
      台灣還有哪些公司有什麼樣的 創 新計畫 ?
  • College of Mass Communication
    Department of Mass Communication
    1. modern communication techniques like instant messaging, video conferencing, and online virtual meetings must be encouraged
      像遠距離交談,電視會議,線上會議這些現代的傳播科技都是值得 提倡
    2. http://bearoller9640.wordpress.com/category/global-warming/ (youtube show on Earth Hour – March 29, 2008) Why wasn't Taipei involved? 為什麼不讓台北也加入環保的行列
  • College of Liberal Arts
    Philosophy Department– a need for self-reflection:

For example: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..." Henry David Thoreau was a great American philosopher who lived out his wish. It's helpful to take a cue from his lifestyle by removing unnecessary belongings and mental baggage. Are we able to put into practice what we believe in? What does it mean” to live deliberately?”

People should be good stewards of the earth. Caring for the earth is a moral responsibility. Out of concern for the planet, future generations, and the impoverished who will be most impacted by climate change, we should be committing to combat global warming as a matter of justice.


  • College of Business/Commerce
    Business Administration/International Trade Departments
    1. Has Taiwan initiated the cap-and-trade system? One way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is through "cap-and-trade" systems. These systems place a limit on total carbon emissions throughout the world. Corporations that emit less than their allotment of carbon
      are then given credits to trade to companies that use more than their share. Companies on the lower end of the scale are rewarded for reducing their emissions, while greater carbon dioxide producers are penalized. The cap-and-trade system provides companies the flexibility to invest in clean-energy solutions to reduce emissions in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
      台灣已經開始實施配額交易體制了嗎?「配額交易」體制是一種減少溫室氣體排放的方法。這設立了一個遍及至世界總碳排放量界限的體制。財團法人發表,每間公司皆有碳分配的限定額度,因此可用這樣的配額來跟其他公司進行交易。減少排放量的中小企業會被獎勵,而大量排放二氧化碳則會被懲罰。「配額交易」體制提供了企業部門彈性投資綠色能源的方針,盡可能地用最有效率和具有成本效益的方法減少排放量。
    2. Up to 45 percent of discarded waste in the United States is generated by businesses. How about Taiwan? A good part of this waste stream can be reduced, recycled, and reused. Businesses should conduct waste audits and implement waste reduction and recycling programs. Are businesses in Taiwan doing their part in conducting waste audits and implementing waste reduction and recycling programs. Give examples of such businesses in Taiwan. These practices not only save businesses money, but also conserve energy and natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
      在美國,因商業活動而產生的廢物高達 45% ,那台灣呢 ? 廢棄物已被降低,回收並且再利用,企業家應該實施廢棄物審核,減少裝備浪費,還有回收計畫。台灣的企業家在這些部分真的有實施嗎 ? 舉出一些台灣此類的企業家的例子,這些措施不僅省了企業家的資金,也保存了能源,自然資源並減少溫室氣體的排放。
  • College of Agriculture

Land Resources Department

(1)Garbage is one of the environment's biggest threats. Most of it is left to decompose in landfills, emitting potent methane gas that greatly contributes to global warming.

(2)The use of technologies that harness landfill gas for energy is being developed. Is there a program in Taiwan? Methane reductions from landfills have been equivalent to eliminating the emissions of 15 million vehicles each year.

(1) 垃圾是環境的最大威脅之一。大部分的垃圾被埋在掩埋場分解,散發出大量的甲烷造成全球暖化。

(2) 現在正開發運用科技將垃圾掩埋場所散發出的氣體轉換稱能量,台灣有這個方案嗎 ? 來自垃圾掩埋場的甲烷的減少,相當於每年 1500 萬汽車排放的廢氣。

Forestry Department

We know that trees provide more than natural beauty; they also serve as valuable allies in the fight against global warming. But did you know that every person in the world needs 10 trees each day to absorb the carbon dioxide produced through basic activities. Trees' natural cycle of absorbing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen makes them the perfect tool in decreasing the effects of global warming. Every tree planted—and saved from being cut down—brings us one step closer to saving the earth. What process has Taiwan taken to bring about decreasing the effects of global warming and planting more trees?

眾所皆知樹木提供不止自然美景,在對抗全球暖化中,它們也扮演了珍貴的環節。但是你知道平均每人每天需要 10 棵樹來吸收每人日常生活中的產生的二氧化碳嗎 ? 樹木的光合作用使它們成為降低全球暖化的良好工具。植樹,保林能讓我們更進一步的保護地球。台灣將採取何種措施來降低全球暖化以及種植更多的樹木 ?

Food and Nutrition

  • College of Environmental Design

    Urban Planning

    (1) People in Taipei are still driving separately to work, using disposable chopstick and dishware, and leaving electronics running at all times. How can Taipei become a greener city, where working people plant more green roofs, use more public transportation and recycle more. Differences in behavior are obvious, as will be their effects. Who are some of the people in urban planning who are striving to make Taipei a greener city?

    (2) Urban forests are the plants and trees that beautify and protect a city, provide shade, remove pollution, and reduce traffic noise. The average urban tree removes one ton of greenhouse gas from the air during its first 40 years of life. Are more trees being planted in Taipei?

    (1) 現在的台北人仍然個別開車去上班,也使用免洗筷和免洗餐具,隨時把電處在待機狀態。台北如何能變成一個能使大眾種植更多的綠色植物、搭乘大眾運輸工具以及徹底地做資源回收的綠意盎然都市。他們明顯改變的行為舉止,將會使環境有好的改變。在那些實行都市計劃的人中,誰能努力致力於使台北成為一個綠色都市?

    (1) 城市森林是指植物和樹木能美化及保護都市,提供庇蔭,減少空氣汙染,降低交通噪音。在都市樹木生長期的前 40 年,平均消除了來自大氣中一噸的溫室氣體,台北有否要繼續種更多的樹?

    Architecture Department

    •  Build today without destroying tomorrow! More of the world's resources and energy are consumed by the construction and operation of buildings than any other human activity. Now, many architects and developers are trying to lessen that impact through sustainable building design, the growing practice of designing ecologically sensitive structures that do not deplete natural resources through their construction or use. By using recycled or renewable materials, watersaving devices, and alternative energy sources, sustainable structures promote healthy occupant environments and save utility costs.

    今日的發展不要造成明日的破壞。建造和開發建築物所耗費的資源比其他人類活動來的更多。現今,許多建築師及發展者都嘗試去學習永續經營建築設計所構成的影響。增加設計易受環境影響的結構是為了避免建造或使用後就刪除自然資源。藉由利用回收或可再生原料,省水裝置,多效能資源能量和可持續使用的材質可才是健康的居住環境和節省有效的花費。

    •  Check out this website: http://taiwanjournal.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=24335&CtNode=122 Taiwan is on its way

    New building in China are using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system to measure the environmental quality of buildings based on site development, material selection, water savings, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. How does Taiwan's EEWH ( ecology , energy saving, waste reduction and health) compare to that of LEED?

    Question: Is one system easier or better than the other? In what ways? Have other countries used the EEWH system, besides Taiwan?

    http://taiwanjournal.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=24335&CtNode=122 Taiwan is on its way!

    在中國,新建築物是利用〝節能和環保設計導引〞的評等系統依據建築的所在地,材料的選擇,水源的節能,有效的利用能源,室內空氣的品質來測量房屋的環境品質。那台灣的 EEWH 做得怎樣呢?除了台灣還有哪些國家使用 EEWH ?

    Q: 哪一個系統比其他的簡單或更好呢 ? 在哪些方面 ? 除了台灣,有哪些國家有使用綠建築系統 ?

  • College of Education


Education Department

  1. Traditionally, the three Rs meant reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. Now many people interpret it as an environmental axiom: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Practicing the three Rs means producing less waste and greenhouse gas, purchasing only what is needed and using all of what is purchased. This also includes choosing reusable products and finding new uses for old goods. 傳統上來說,三R是指(reading:讀,’riting:寫,’rithmetic:算)。而現今人們將這詮釋成環境的原則:減少、回收、再利用。落實這三R必須要減少廢棄物的丟棄以及減少造成溫室效應的氣體排放。只買你所用的東西,這也包括選擇使用可再利用和可回收再生的產品。
  2. The earth's future depends on how our children interact with nature. Children who spend time with nature and who love and respect the earth are more likely to care for the earth as adult citizens and voters. Families that explore the outdoors together, give their kids the opportunity to bond with nature. Have these ideas been incorporated into the curriculum in elementary and high school levels in Taiwan? 地球的未來全仰賴在我們孩子如何與自然界的互動,那些孩子們在這大自然中成長和喜愛與尊敬這片土地,是成年人或是那些可以行使投票權的人所不及的,家庭需要靠戶外活動來聯繫在一起,給他們的孩子一個機會與大自然為伍,這些觀念有被融合在台灣中、小學的課程中嗎?
  • College of Law


In 2005, more than 160 nations signed the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by approximately 5 percent below 1990 levels. While the U.S. has the highest greenhouse gas emissions rate in the world, it also one of the few industrialized nations that have not ratified the Kyoto Protocol. Why not? What about Taiwan? Why wasn’t Taiwan one of the countries to sign the Kyoto Protocol?
在2005年時,超過160個國家簽署的東京議定書,這份議定書致力於讓溫室氣體的排放量減低到比1990年時還要低大約5%。然而美國的溫室氣體排放比率佔全球最高,且美國同時也是少數不同京都議定書的工業化國家之一。為何美國不認同呢?那麼台灣又如何?為什麼台灣不是已簽京都議定書的國家之一呢?
