A non-profit organization. We aim to promote environmental sensibility and ecological art in Taiwan. The forum stands as an open-site for public discussion on environmental issues and the practices of eco-art projects, as well as a knowledge base of eco art internationally. 這是一個以生態藝術創作及其相關議題為討論對象的公開場域。發展中~
或請孩子帶至學校回收,小小的動作將為我們帶來最大的福祉!
希望 大家多做環保,讓台灣更美好!
然而,值得注意的是,現今所謂的綠建築,往往只注重到節約能源的層面,但在建築材料及方法的選擇上,仍然偏重耗能建材,如鋼筋、水泥,繼續餵養著二氧化碳高排放量的工業。這種補貼有沒有意義?值得再討論。營建署統計,過去10年綠建築大量增加,「我最近還與行政院長吳敦義談到,綠建築我們在設計費有點補助,但有沒有可能幫消費者忙,如果買綠建築,政府可以略為補貼」,「這個我們正在研究」。
他說,就像民眾購買電視機、電冰箱與冷氣機,經濟部對貼有節能標章的家電補助新台幣2000元,這個措施非常有效。
馬總統認為,就像當年台北市興建由德國專家設計的萬華運動中心,雖然每坪造價高一些,但1年可省30%的電,長期來看划得來。

自然材料建築不僅是以太陽能節電設計為基本原則,更關注於建築材料本身,最好是大部份來自當地,不超出以半徑10或20英里為方圓之地。運用當地材料結合傳統與創新技法,創造出合乎綠能觀念的設計,才是真正能愛護地球的永續建築。
Natural building comes from the perspective that while energy efficiency and passive solar design should be seen as basic design principles, greater consideration should be paid to the materials used, and ideally a large proportion of the materials should come from within a, say, 10 or 20 mile radius of the site. This makes us look at what we have to hand, be it stone, earth, straw, timber or clay. By using a mixture of traditional techniques and new ways of using these materials, combined with common-sense green design, we can build buildings that are truly sustainable.
