A life of compassion can simply begin with three meals.
We have already changed our light bulbs to energy saving models. We try our best to recycle. We try to eliminate our carbon footprint by carpooling and staying away from gas guzzlers. But until we watched the movie "Food Inc", most of us didn't know that our food choices had such dire consequences to our environment. It made us sad but we didn't stop there. We took action.
This beautiful group of people dedicated a lot of time promoting Meatless Mondays in their families and among their friends. When we share a common virtuous source of motivation and actively promote it in our community, a real sense of appreciation for humanity, compassion, and love develops. We hope you will join us too.
取之於海洋,回饋於海洋,將蚵殼帶回海洋,讓海底的魚兒“洄家”
Things come full circle. Taken from the ocean, the oyster shells should be returned to the coast to maintain the marine ecosystems.
將台西大量廢棄的蚵殼加以回收,與當地居民將蚵殼製成大堡礁投入海中,在6/8國際海洋日以回復海洋生態。6/8不單單是台西將蚵殼送“洄家”的日子以及國際海洋日,更是海底的魚兒回家的日子。
本設計透過社會參與(empowerment)概念,落實我們的理念,最後「我們送蚵殼“洄家”了,海底的魚兒“洄家”了,台西的海洋不一樣了。」

The document describes a scenario where children are playing near train tracks, with most playing on an operational track and one child on a disused track. When a train approaches, one must decide whether to divert the train to the disused track, sacrificing the lone child but saving the others, or letting the train continue on its path. However, diverting the train could endanger passengers and the disused track may be unsafe. The proper decision is to let the train continue as the children on the operational track knew the risks and should have moved when warned.
