Description of Our Community: Taiwan is a small Pacific island with rich natural resources because of its varied terrain. Besides vast natural resources, Taiwan's culture is also rich. There are many traditions because of the variety of race origins including Han, Hakka... But over years Taiwan also developed its own unique characteristics, including our topic: charcoal making.

Project Description: Charcoal making is a traditional industry in Taiwan, it's often forgotten by people in the present days since almost every citizen has gas in their home, but charcoals still acts a critical role in the Taiwanese culture, especially during the moon festival. Barbecue is one of the traditions of the moon festival since 1986, started by a barbecue sauce advertisement slogan, the tradition requires charcoal to roast food. In addition, there are many other uses of charcoal in Taiwanese society, for instance, dehumidification, support blood circulation, and more. The existence of charcoal is overlooked, but in fact, indispensable. This motivates us to dig deeper into charcoal research and spread the information out.
