One Island, One Life - Our Ocean EP2
Off the Southwestern coast of Taiwan lies a small but important island, Xiaoliuqiu. Often regarded as Liuqiu Island, Xiaoliuqiu receives one hundred-thousand visitors each year, and the amount of trash left behind has become a problem. But the locals can’t sustain their lives without these tourists either. This was when Kuo Fu and her team came up with the “beach coin” idea. Since then, many civil, independent groups and individuals have followed through; they’ve come up with other innovative ways to make living on Xiaoliuqiu sustainable without creating unnecessary wastes. In this second episode of Our Ocean: The Fight for Sustainability, we discover how the “beach coin” has been bringing an island closer to sustainability. Not only is it the various methods used, it’s also the people that make it work. After all, sustainability is not just work, it’s a way of life. ———————————————— ‘PLANET OCEAN, TIDES ARE CHANGING.’ It's time to put our Oceans first.
