Turn the Wounded Earth Around, Starting with the Small Things in Life

School is about to start, and parents are probably feeling a sense of relief by now, right? Hurry up and save the time ahead for yourself!

If you or your friends around you also want to begin a volunteer life of learning and growth, one that contributes to society and the environment, you must come and join the [Turn the Earth Around Empowerment Camp].

In the six classes,
you can learn to make practical eco-friendly household soap from recycled cooking oil, putting an end to cleaning pollution;
understand how to protect yourself while living in Taichung City, which is filled with dirty air;
learn how to use green picture books to carry out environmental education for children;
through ecological interpretation, get to know the common plants around us;
come into contact with the trendiest cases and perspectives of green dietary education;
and personally experience food and agriculture education and the power of cooking for yourself.

Environmental protection is not difficult, and it is not the full-time job of scholars. What is needed even more is a group of life experts who know the big and small things of everyday life like the back of their hand, starting from the small things in life, to turn the wounded Earth around.
