KHH Enviros Newsletter –August 3, 2010
This has been one fantastic July!
We started our organic garden in Ping Dong and we’ve been given the go-ahead to keep on with it over the next couple of months. The fantastic thing is, it’s all being paid for by the National Science Council!!!
Thanks so much to Sylvia Li of the Wufu Senior Girls High School for bringing our group into this project.
For more information, see our blog post about it
Now, this month’s Green Tip was translated by me, Tim the Canadian. Not Tim the fluent in Chinese Canadian. So, if the translation is…um…less than native speaker, don’t be surprised.
If you can help translate next months, that would be FANTASTIC! Just let me know and I’ll send it to you nice and early.
Hope you’re all well and enjoying this oddly rainy, but typhoon free summer! J

Green Tip – Recycling depots and Green Products
We've got kind of a mish-mash of Green Tips for you this month.
The good news is that they're both very specific actions you can take.
這個月我們有些個不一樣的話題。
第一個是回收你的舊的電子。
你要回收電子也可以賺錢。
你打電話給這個公司，他們會過來你家，幫你拿你的電子，然後給你錢。
這是他們的電話 0980 309 776
The first is recycling...we all do it daily, but what about when you have bigger items you want to recycle? Computers, televisions, little electronics, CDs, air conditioners.
Did you know you can make money recycling?
Simply call this number and they'll come by, take your stuff and give you money. 0980 309 776 (You’ll need someone who can speak Chinese to help)
Easy.
What about stuff that's not on their list? Clothing, household objects, and bits of something that's no longer useful.
如果你想回收的東西不在他們的單子上，還有很多地方在高雄市可以去給他們。鞋子，衣服，家具。。。都可以給他們回收
There are many recycling depots around Kaohsiung City that you can drop your stuff.
These people are experts at recycling, so if anyone can find a use for your old stuff, they can!
You won't get any more for it, but at least you get peace of mind that your stuff is being used instead of trashed. 他們不會給你錢，可是至少你的東西不在收廢站
Go to our Google Map and you can see one that we've found. If people know of more, please let us know and we'll include them on our map.
請你去我們的GoogleMap看我們找到的地方可以回收
The last thing is a quick one. We're looking for more specific products that people can buy that have some sort of environmental standardization.
這是一個小的Tip。如果你要買衛生紙，要保護森林可以買這個名牌 Kleenex
This month we've found toilet paper from Kleenex Company that is internationally certified to use mixed sources.
Kleenex的貨是從FSC正品的。這是有環保的意思。很重要 J
This is important because it shows that at least a certain amount of the paper is from recycled sources, which means less trees are cut down to make the paper
Look for these pictures and symbols when you go to buy your toilet paper.
如果要買衛生紙，你就找這個商標

This month we have a new person helping to collect our videos: Lewa!
Thanks to her we have THREE videos instead of just 1. Awesome!

-I know you said no depressing videos, but I think at the current time this is quite relevant, and people need to see this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NNrxiqnFE0 - A fun, upbeat song that adults can sing with the kids ^_^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0XnCG01DDw - Documentary-like short video. Very informative and well-said, but some may find this a little boring.
