The community building in Taiwan has evolved from the simple community improvement and renovation to the holistic development and reengineering of ��people, culture, land, scenery and production�� in the community.
The community building in Taiwan nowadays focuses more on the participation and education of the residents to realize the goal of channeling the consensus and power of the residents into solving difficult problems of their community. Because of its development over the past years, the problem of high-level carbon emissions in Taiwan has become more and more serious. To solve this problem,environmental protection education has been proactively promoted among communities in Taiwan with professionally trained seed teachers of environmental protection for community residents. In addition, to further enhance the awareness of environmental protection, both teachers and students at the schools of all levels in Taiwan are required to receive education about environment protection. Last but not least, incentives have been offered to encourage participation of community residents in the environment protection courses and activities in their communities.
According to O’Neill [1], lessons learned from a national project on education for personal and social responsibility can be adopted across a variety of specific institutional contexts and missions.In recent years, the Taiwanese government has been proactively promoting a wide variety of policies to encourage energy conservation and carbon emission reduction, such as Green Procurement, Green Buildings [2�C4], Environmental Protection [5], Environmental Efficiency [6], Plain Afforestation Policy [7], ��Love for the Earth, Let us Go!�� community subsidy program, and subsidies for purchases of green household appliances and solar power devices.
However, despite the large amounts of governmental budgets invested in the above-mentioned policies and subsidies each year, the problem of high carbon emissions GSK-3 from the coal-fired power plants, petrochemical industry, and large population of automobiles and motorcycles has shown no sign of significant improvement. Probably the relatively effective solution to solve the problem of high carbon emissions in Taiwan in the long run is promoting the awareness of environmental protection and low-carbon lifestyle through environmental protection education.
