都市人的日常生活中難免會使用到各類即棄用品,如在咖啡店買一杯咖啡,或在便利店買的一支水,但在享受這些方便的同時,背後究竟有甚麼值得我們關注?
每日有大量的即棄塑膠垃圾被送往堆填區,但有更多的在我們看不到的地方,危害著大自然及野生動物。
Disposable items, alas, is part of urban living. While it is convenient to sip on take away drinks or bottled water, what can we do to reduct our environmental footprint?
Many of our single-use plastic waste ends up in the landfill, more is found drifting in the ocean or, worse still, piling up in the guts of marine creatures. This artwork throws spotlight on the marine victims own the forms of sea lion and sea birds.

於各種慶典不時會有放飛氣球的活動,這些氣球放飛後成為塑膠垃圾,造成大量污染,嚴重危害生態環境,特別是海洋生物及雀鳥,牠們會誤食或被纏繞至死。美國多個州分已立法管制或禁止放飛氣球。
Balloons are released from time to time at different celebrations and events. These balloons will turn into plastic waste and most of them end up on the ocean, polluting the environment. Wildlife especially marine animals and birds would mistake these marine debris as food or entangle to death. Some States in the US already set up legislation to control or ban releasing balloons.

💕「愛台灣,我的選擇」系列第14發:環境科學家馬耐德發現台灣的生物多樣性與供應鏈的關鍵角色
「我來自美國加州聖地亞哥,畢業於美國創價大學,主修環境科學,當時主要從事淡水魚和基礎漁業的研究。隨後我到加州蒙特瑞國際研究學院攻讀碩士,研究海洋及沿海資源管理。當時其中一位教授就是來自台灣,她告訴我:『你應該去台灣看一看。』很多旅居海外的台灣人都會這樣鼓勵外國人拜訪台灣。
而我後來也的確到台灣進行了一個海峽兩岸的研究,作為唯一一位環境科學學人,我必須要想一個能在台北和上海演講的主題,垃圾就是一個最明顯的題材。因為當你來到台灣,你會發現台灣街道上都沒有垃圾,這點讓我感到非常新奇,為什麼會沒有垃圾呢?當時我也發現並沒有什麼關於台灣廢棄物管理轉型的英文資訊,所以我就決定住在台灣,研究這個讓我很著迷的題目。那是2013年的事,後來我獲得傅爾布萊特獎助金在墾丁海生館擔任訪問學者一年,至此之後我就待了下來。大約六個月前,我開始在銳思碳管理顧問公司上班,我們負責協助大型品牌和他們的供應鏈設定並達成碳供應鏈目標。這是我們剛在台灣成立的新辦公室,公司的總部在香港,但我們想要把重心移到台灣,因為台灣是關鍵的供應鏈環節。我們認為台灣將在永續報告和減碳目標上持續成長,而且台灣真的是個好地方。
台灣有很多我很喜歡的優點,我覺得最棒但很少被注意到的一點是台灣的生物多樣性。台灣是亞熱帶島嶼,擁有非常豐富多樣的原生種和特有種,美麗的蝴蝶、螢火蟲、珊瑚、鯨鯊、鮪魚、熊……物種多到我三天三夜都講不完。而且就算不開車,也很容易親近大自然。我也喜歡騎單車,台灣的單車道做的非常好,還有優質的單車品牌和產品。我在台灣大多時候過的很不錯,沒什麼好抱怨的,食物也好吃。而且台灣人基本上對科學有充分的信任和熱忱,許多民選官員都曾經是醫生、科學家、工程師等等,連總統都曾發表過博士論文。台灣的前副總統大概是地球上最有資格帶領對抗新冠疫情的領袖。感覺上,台灣有很多科學家,當個理工宅男好像也很OK。」
✨馬耐德(Nate Maynard)連續兩年(2014及2015 年)榮獲美國傅爾布萊特獎助學金,現為「鬼島之音Waste Not Why Not」節目製作及主持人,及銳思碳管理顧問股份有限公司高級顧問。
💕Why I chose Taiwan #14 – Environmental sciences scholar Nate Maynard discover Taiwan’s and its key role in supply chains
"I’m from San Diego California originally. My undergrad was from Soka University of America; liberal arts with a concentration in environmental studies, and I work on fresh-water fishes mostly and basic fisheries. And then my Master’s program was at the Monterey Institute of International Studies with a concentration in ocean and coastal resource management. One of my professors was Taiwanese, and she said: ‘you gotta go to Taiwan,’ as most Taiwanese people living abroad will tell foreigners.
And I did go visit Taiwan for a cross-Strait research trip, and as the only environment person, I had to come up with something I could talk about in Taipei and Shanghai, and garbage was the most obvious thing. Because when you come to Taiwan, there’s no garbage, and I became fascinated: Why is there no garbage? I realized there really wasn’t much information in English about Taiwan’s waste management transformation, and that’s sort of how I got hooked and decided I wanted to live in Taiwan. That was 2013. And then I got the Fulbright Fellowship and spent a year at the National Aquarium in Kenting....and they haven’t been able to get me to leave. About six months ago, I started working for a private consulting firm called Reset Carbon. We help major brands and their supply chains set and achieve carbon supply chain targets. This is a new office that we just set up in Taiwan. The company’s headquarter is in Hong Kong, but we wanted to pivot to Taiwan because Taiwan’s the key supply chain link. We expect to see Taiwan growing in terms of sustainability reporting, carbon reduction goals, and Taiwan’s just a nice place.
There’s a couple things that I really enjoy about Taiwan. I think the best thing that doesn’t get enough coverage is biodiversity. Taiwan is a sub-tropical island. It’s full of native and endemic species, beautiful butterflies, fireflies, coral, whale sharks, tuna, bears...I can list the animals for hours. It’s easy for me to go and get access to nature, even without a car. I also enjoy biking and Taiwan has excellent biking infrastructure, and great bike companies that make fine products. Most aspects of my life in Taiwan are pretty good. I can’t complain. Food is great too. I think there’s also a general trust and enthusiasm for science in Taiwan. I mean there’s a lot of elected officials that are doctors, scientists, engineers, and the president has published papers as a PhD. And you know, the vice president was probably the most qualified person on Earth to lead the COVID response. In Taiwan, it feels like the scientists are pretty well-represented, and like being a nerd is kinda okay." -- Nate Maynard
✨Nate Maynard won Fulbright Fellowship two times in a row (2014-15, 2015-16), now serving as a program host and producer of “Waste Not Why Not” with Ghost Island Media and a senior consultant at Reset Carbon.

Taiwan’s next referendum will soon vote on activating the nation’s fourth nuclear plant, as well as constructing a natural gas plant on an algal reef that's critical for Taiwan’s biodiversity. These decisions come as governments around the world are scrambling to meet the demands of the Paris Agreement, and as environmental activists fight for a more sustainable planet.
Green Parties propose an alternative voice in politics to tackle our environmental ruin. All over the world, there are 91 Green Parties that believe in committing our governments to environmental stewardship, through electing green movement leaders into office. In Asia, Taiwan is home to the region’s oldest Green Party, which won a National Assembly seat in 1996 - their very first election campaign.
Our guest today is Professor Dafydd Fell, a political scientist at SOAS University of London, and Director of the Centre of Taiwan Studies. Dafydd Fell is author of the new book: “Taiwan’s Green Parties: Alternative Politics in Taiwan”, published in March 2021 by Routledge.
Today’s episode is hosted by Nate Maynard - Senior Consultant at Reset Carbon, and host of Waste Not Why Not. You can check out his show for more insights on the world’s ocean, energy, and waste issues.

Isobel and Iman bakes Fudgy Brownies using a DIY Kit prepared by @Boxtivity. The idea behind Boxtivity began when head baker, Ima from Syzcake bakery, spent time with her daughter Inara at home, during the Covid Lockdown.
"When you are new to baking, it can be really frustrating to search recipes (so many online....how to choose?) and the right ingredients.We collaborated with Syzcake Bakery to develop Boxtivity. Each of our recipes are specially curated and created with love and care to provide you with the best baking experience" - Ima
Baking Kits consists of all the ingredients required depending on the package you choose, a step-by-step baking instruction recipe card as well as a QR code for video instructions. You only need butter and eggs (which was provided to us for this session)
There's also Vanilla Cupcake with Buttercream Frosting, Congo Bars and Chocolate Cupcake with Buttercream Frosting.
Visit www.boxtivitykit.wixsite.com/home for more info or visit their Instagram page: @boxtivity
In between, I did an unboxing session while waiting for the Brownies to bake:

"More masks than jellyfish: Coronavirus waste ends up in ocean"
Facemask can stand the environment for up to 450 years and it takes that long for them to turn into visible micro-plastics which is still very damaging to the environment and marine life. Ripcurl Malaysia regrets that as a brand they did not manage to notice this sooner, but better now than never so they have launched their re-usable facemask.
Features include:
Coolcore fabric with cooling effect 3 layer
Quick dry
Breathable
Strap: Stretchable & Detachable (velcro) I LOVE THIS FEATURE BIT

Jobs? In this apocalypse? It’s more likely than you think. It’ll also be more likely if we would just PAY ATTENTION to the ocean. That’s what Dr. Jason Scorse taught Nature N8 as his professor: protecting our seas is good for the economy.
Jason is the Director of the Center for the Blue Economy, and a professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, where N8 did his Master’s! In their conversation, N8 and Jason talk about the U.S. ocean policy, blue jobs, veganism, and how each and every one of us need to take action in this climate movement.
