英文摘要

This project aims to assist the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) to improve environmental education relating to eco-friendly worship. Completed tasks include: (1) Studying eco-friendly worship policies and success stories in Taiwan and Southeast Asia countries to develop short, medium and long-term promotion strategies and indicators. (2) Compiling environmental education teaching materials and teaching plans relating to eco-friendly worship for the northern, central and southern regions of Taiwan. (3) Holding activities to promote eco-friendly worship in northern, central and southern Taiwan. The project results are as follows:

1. We completed research into eco-friendly worship policies and success stories, including various policies relating to the use of joss paper and incense, as well as successful cases in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and China, which we will use as a reference for the development of short, medium, and long-term promotion strategies, and for environmental education relating to eco-friendly worship. Based on the aforementioned study results, we held three expert consultation meetings.

2. We compiled environmental education teaching materials and teaching plans relating to eco-friendly worship. We first held three expert consultation meetings, and, based on the expert advice, amended environmental education teaching materials and teaching plans for eco-friendly worship. The course structure includes: (1) The meaning of burning joss paper and incense in folk culture; (2) The impact of burning joss paper and incense on health and safety; (3) How to conduct eco-friendly worship. This course helps students understand the implications of burning joss paper and incense sticks; and the potential risks to environment and health. Then they can come up with action plans balancing religious culture and environmental and health concerns.

3. We held “Environmental education seed teachers training workshops”, with 77 participants. The majority of participants were environmental educators (67%), while the second largest group was temple staff (11%). 66% of participants agreed to be seed teachers. The process of training helped participants enhance their knowledge and skills relating to eco-friendly teaching.

4. We helped organize activities promoting eco-friendly worship in northern, central and southern Taiwan, which included: (1) Holding six “Environmental education conferences relating to eco-friendly worship; (2) Holding 9 “Eco-friendly worship promotion activities” along with 6 “Eco-friendly worship lessons” aimed at enterprises. There were also two “eco-friendly” temple visits. And to raise awareness, we helped to organize two press conference at Ching Ming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival, to promote eco-friendly worship among employees of various enterprises.
