SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT

TRIP TO FULONG: Clean Up the World!

Time: 10am-4pm (Note the earlier start time!)

NB: This trip is inspired by 2 people:

a) Yvonne, who suggested at our last session that we have outings sometimes;

b) my 12 yr-old environmental activist student named Alex, who informed me that Clean Up the World Day is in mid-Sept (http://www.cleanuptheworld.org/en/):

                                        

                                        

Place:  Meet on Train No. 654, in the front car, to go to Fulong. Here's our schedule:

10:15 dep Taipei Main Station on Train No. 654 (Everyone please buy your own ticket beforehand--go to the very first car to find TIiA members!)

10:15-11:38 Ride on train to Fulong, do Icebreaker

*The last time I was in Fulong, I noticed that the popular lunch box shop gave every customer a plastic bag...most people threw away the bag 10 seconds after receiving it!

We will check to see if this is still happening...and then decide what ACTION to take to try to encourage the shop to be more environmentally friendly--to celebrate and participate in Clean Up the World!
