Substantial Saturday

On March 28th, I joined a one-day camp related to global warming and greenhouse effect; besides, I watched a tape Let It Be, which is called 無米樂 in Chinese, in the evening. I really had a copious day though I hadn't studied any textbooks and left many thing unfinished. At the night of that day, my mind was full of speculation on the world, on the society and on the life.

After attending the camp, I learned some new conception about global warming and greenhouse effect. I realized more about the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the system related to them. Most of all, I got some significant view about those phenomena of this issue. For example, we can't see climate change as the only reason of those disaster happening around the world and the emission reduction of those so-called environmental-friendly country, such as Japan, is not for ethic but for responsibility of the long historical emission. Moreover, when reading the survey of this issue, we should take every aspect into consideration rather than rush to a sole simple conclusion.

In addition, after watching the tape Let It Be, my heart was full of complex feeling. I appreciated those farmers' attitude toward their hard life; I was angry about the unequal situation of farmers and I bothered with the complicated relationship among farming, industry, and business. Those farmers' situation become worse because Taiwan has joined WTO, which creates lots benefit for business. I think we should care more about farming in Taiwan; we can't just emphasize the industry and business. After all, farming is the primary machine that make Taiwan prosper; moreover, a country can't subsist safely without farming. Last but not lest, farming culture is the basic culture of Taiwan; if we lost it what will we have ?
