Description of Our Community: Kaohsiung City has actively devoted in environmental capacity, especially in green transportation, energy conservation and carbon reduction. Comparing to other cities, Kaohsiung city owns the first metropolitan network based public rental bike scheme. Until now, the length of the bicycle lane is more than 190 km. The bicycle lane connects to tourist attractions, main commuting roads, MRT routes, and school districts in each community and it turns out to be a green transportation net. There are 50 public bicycle rental stations and 4500 bicycles. In the future, it is planned to expand 100 rental stations and this brings up the lively image in energy conservation and carbon reduction in Kaohsiung City.

Project Description: Giant trees are like the hair of Mother Earth. Petroleum is like the blood of Mother Earth. We have drawn out whatever we want from her for long. Now Mother Earth gets sick and we are the last generation who can change her fate. Slogans are everywhere but very few actions. Therefore, we seek to raise environmental awareness and actions in Kaohsiung City and start the petition of thousands of people. We would like to make February 12th as Kaohsiung LOHAS Day. We would like to send a green and positive image instead of the black one when reaching 2012.
