Swap Books, Swap Things! Practicing Organic Life and Green Peace Through Decluttering

"Organic" should not be limited to agricultural method certification, but should be a comprehensive attitude of life aesthetics! As the year-end approaches, many people begin busily doing major cleaning and tidying up their home living environment. Through the practical action of "decluttering," cutting off what is unnecessary, discarding excess waste, and breaking free from attachment to objects, they turn their homes into energetic spaces. Not only does the surrounding environment become fresher, but it also improves and elevates the mind, welcoming good fortune in the Year of the Snake!

This week, on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Water Garden Lifestyle Creative Market calls on everyone to bring valuable daily necessities and good books worth sharing from home to the lifestyle market to exchange with more friends, or to hold a charity sale to support Greenpeace. Share with everyone environmentally friendly and fair and just sustainable lifestyle goods, and through the action of organizing items and replacing the old with the new, cast aside old worries and happily welcome a brand-new and organic year!

About "Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market"

This is the story of a group of farmers who are changing Taiwan, China through nature-friendly farming that is kind to the earth. And the end of the NTU Organic Farmers' Market is the beginning of this story. When Taipei's only organic farmers' market closed, it meant that a community linking land, ecology, farmers, and the dining table would brew a deeper force. The farmers stood up on their own strength and, in the Water Garden in the NTU Gongguan business district, rebuilt a unique new organic cultural market.

Guided by the Agriculture and Food Agency of the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, and the Taipei Water Department, the market is composed of many distinctive small organic farmers from various places. To promote health and organic concepts, market promotion volunteers have also held a series of activities, including the Water Garden Organic Fiber Food Carnival, water resource environmental education and parent-child lectures, small farmer story-sharing lectures, and the "International Water Dance Festival," which combines ecology and dance performance.

About "Water Garden Lifestyle Creative Market"

Life! How can it be simple and plain? "Organic" should not be limited to agricultural method certification, but should be a comprehensive attitude of life aesthetics! Exploring organic life, we return to the four principles of "health, ecology, fairness, and care"! In every aspect of food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and recreation, we have discovered that as long as we are willing, we can all realize a more ideal lifestyle. And in the process of realization, relationships between people have already risen from transactions to friendship! Trust, care, and sharing are even more the world of great harmony our hearts yearn for!

Following the Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market, the Taipei Cultural Exploration Association further helped establish a "Water Garden Lifestyle Creative Market" that realizes the four major organic principles, including book-swapping activities to make friends through books, fresh new-generation music and art dialogue, organic clothing, and healthy energy foods. This is a lifestyle market that belongs to everyone, and it is hoped that through the participation of more friends, a joyful, friendly social market will be built in a grassroots way!
