The Environment Protection Administration (EPA) invited the representatives of 12 EPA-certified environmental education facilities to kick off the opening ceremony of these 12 facilities at the Taipei Water Park yesterday.

In response to the Earth Day, “Hunger 12” kicked off in New Taipei Municipal Hai-Shan High School yesterday.

With this charity event, she hoped to convey the message to care for the earth.

5. 每年3月初到4月底是宜蘭龜山島百合花盛開時期，但今年的花苞罕見遭蟲害，加上吸引鳥類啄食蟲子，可能見不到百合花綻放美景。東北角暨宜蘭海岸國家風景區管理處表示，不排除邀請農業專家前往勘查防治，但也可能尊重島上是原始生態資源的特色，讓百合花隨大自然食物鏈的演化，讓它自生自滅。

Lily is in full blossom in early March to the end of April in Turtle Mountain Island every year, but this year its flower buds are rarely infested with insects which in turns attract birds to join the feast; as a result, it’s not likely to see the beautiful scenery of lily blossom anymore. The administration of Northeast and Yi-lan Coast Scenic Area said that they will not rule out the possibility to invite agricultural experts to investigate and come up with solutions; however, there’s also a possibility that the administration will respect the characteristic of primitive ecological resources; that is; to let nature takes its course through the food chain evolution.

6. 世界地球日（Earth Day），各國都舉辦各種活動提醒大眾保護地球、節能減碳的重要，同時傳達環保應該從日常生活做起的觀念。根據美國網站（patch.com）統計，如果全球8億4500萬的臉書用戶，將每天沖澡時間縮短1分鐘，省下的水量可填滿110萬個奧運規格的游泳池，非常可觀。

With Earth day coming up, countries all around the world held all kinds of activities to remind the public to protect the Earth and the importance of reducing carbon emission as well as to convey a concept that environmental protection starts from daily life. According to an American website, patch.com, if all of Facebook’s 845 million users shortened their shower by 1 minute, the amount of water saved would fill 1.1 million Olympic sized swimming pools, which is pretty amazing.
