Friendly Environment Living Practitioner Volunteer Training Activity
Being friendly to the environment is being friendly to yourself; protecting the environment is one way to build a better life. The foundation's volunteer mothers began learning and practising ways to protect the environment out of their love for it. Over 28 years, through advocacy and hands-on practice on environmental issues, they have promoted policies such as waste sorting and kitchen-waste composting... and related policies, influencing our daily habits, enabling us to have dreams and making life more exciting and beautiful. This time we have gathered the mothers' experience and their flair for public speaking to design a volunteer course, hoping to pass on the mothers' spirit of practice and wishing that more people will be willing to invest creativity, effort and passion, each contributing their own strengths and a share of effort for the environment. Now, we invite everyone to come and be a life practitioner together. Learn everyday environmentalism, and together awaken the spirit of curiosity and hands-on experimentation, caring for the environment through small changes in daily life, and working together for the future of this land.
