Description of Our Community: Erlin Township was located in the southwest of Changhua County, on the alluvial fan between the downstream of the old Zhuoshui River and Yuliao River. It is connected to Pitou Township in the east, adjacent to Fangyuan Township in the west and neighbors to Dacheng Township in the south. To the west, it connects Sihu Township to Puyan Township with the old Zhuoshui River in the middle. It is a flat yet rich plateau covering a total area of 9,285 square kilometers. With neither prosperous streets nor bustling business districts except for simple cottages, Erlin is a typical agriculture-oriented township. However, the produce of this township is not very varied because of its close distance to the sea coast. It is a place "where the wind blows and the river ends". And it is here that Shai Shin Fon Environmental Engineer Co., Ltd. is located.

Project Description: In recent years, nature and ecology have been ignored in our pursuit of quality. Shai Shin Fon Environmental Engineer Co., Ltd., therefore, has developed a series of cement products that look just like wood on the surface. This technology was developed by Mr. Ming-hsiung Hsu in order to reduce the damage of the natural environment. "Sustainable use" is thus a big selling point of the company. Mr. Hsu hoped that people could buy more from his company because this would reduce the use of wood. Otherwise, it would still be us that had to bear the losses and damage when landslides occurred as a result of deforestation. It takes ten years for a tree to grow up but only ten minutes to cut it down. This technology was fascinating in that it could make cement look like wood. And I could not help being amazed by the products that could both reduce pollution and environmental damage. This idea and technology of Mr. Hsu was really admiring. Thanks to this Cyberfair project, we understood how worthwhile it would be to put the concepts upheld by Shai Shin Fon Environmental Engineer Co., Ltd. into practice.
