Description of Our Community: Hsien-Hsi is a small town located at the seacoast of Midwest Taiwan. It has an extended cost line where many locals grew up spending their time. The beach was filled with golden sand and surrounded by vastly deep blue ocean. It was once the go-to it place for having a fun time. However, the scene was all changed in 1976. The government implemented the plan to turn the seacoast area into an industrial park. Factories were established one after another. In 1993, Changhua Coastal Industrial Administration Center was founded and factory establishment bloomed further on. Now, Hsien-Hsi is still the small town but full of factories. Even though locals are supplied with more job opportunities, in exchange, the natural environment falls the victim as a result. The pollution caused by factories has severe effects toward local habitat. For instance, in June 2005, duck husbandry was shamed with toxic produce due to the industrial pollution in the area. The duck eggs were found contaminated with Dioxin which is a poisonous chemical residue. Since then, the husbandry business has been put on a dam in the local community.
Project Description: Since the industrialization in Taiwan, various cases of pollution keep popping up on news. The duck husbandry incident in Hsien-Hsi being one of them, we are challenged with the issue face to face. For our project, we will present a detailed collection of pollutions in different parts and regions of Taiwan. Through researches, interviews and throughout investigations, we will showcase what causes pollution and how it comes into place and what may be the possible done damages. In the last six months, we’ve also collected and put together a documentation on the relationship between factories and pollutions. We’ve even taken the samples and run the diagnosis of air and water quality from places as supporting evidence. Hoping through our project, the public will gain a better understanding of different types of pollution and raise an awareness of the matter, which further aids at finding solutions.
