Sanshui District in Longtan District was chosen to take part in the Taoyuan City Department of Environmental Protection (TYDEP) Low-carbon Eco-Borough Program.
Borough Chief Lin Yan-nen led volunteers in combining the Hakka spirit and eco-living to build a Hakka canopy outside of the borough activity center.
A complete recycling area was also set and integrated with the neighboring old farmhouse, red brick walls and granary to form a Hakka landscape.
Under the leadership of Borough Chief Lin, volunteers collected recyclable materials and swept the local streets on a regular basis. The sustainability philosophy was implemented by recycling where possible and eliminating waste at the source.
