After I read the article about health and environmental impacts at Taiwan's Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park, I realized that there is dark side behind every big industrial companies. Working in Science park is the job that a lot of the people want. Before science park was built, Hsinchu was just a place with lots of cemetery. I remember once my teacher told me why choose Hsinchu City to build Science Park, was because Hsinchu was the only city that has two of the best universities in Asia. After the Science Park was built, the economy starts rising up rapidly, but also the pollution as well. Before Hsinchu Gieant, one of the biggest marts in taiwan, was built, that was a place where Science Park dumped most of the heavy metal wasteproducts. I used to live in Hsinchu Science Park. This article makes me think of where I used to live. I saw the orange water down in the ditch, or sometimes green water with bubbles on top. They also dumped these chemicals in to the rivers; these also caused the oysters were seriously polluted. Taiwan's electricity generating, steel-making, and plastic producing are companies they emit most of the carbondioxide. Hsinchu Science Park makes a lot of people become rich in a few years, but the pollution problems it makes will take decades to be solved. I have research that Taichung's Science Park is also having more contamination as Hsinchu. I think this really will contaminate Taiwan's air, water, and soil. These things really shock me, I think I would like to become a business man or a electronic engineer, helping to solve the problems when I grow up. I want to be able to change something in Science Park. One another thing, I really wonder that does become a rich must to pollute the Earth? May be, I will find this out when I grow up, if it was true, I will prove it wrong! Yes, "I" Can!!
