Waste Not Blog

An article, called Waste Not, which from the book Natural Capitalism, talks about how much natural resources people are using unnecessarily, such as Lithium for soft drink cans. It also talks about how many high educated people do underemployed jobs, such as doctor drives taxi, and how much money people are spending, such as car accidents charge health care costs, people can not go to their jobs, property damage, and judicial service costs. Human civilization is growing with a wasting system. "People are using too many resources to make too few people more productive", a quote from the book Natural Capitalism implies how people are wasting resources. These will not only damage the environment, but also decline the global economics effect.
I think there are lots of ways to connect the concepts of this article to my senior project- building a green business model. For example, I will trace back to all the products that I am going to sell, in order to make sure that there are no extra resources wasted during manufacture. I also have to be aware of not using any of the cheap labors. I will have to confirm that everything is made in Taiwan, because Taiwan's Labor Bureau has a better policy to avoid labors get low-paid. In the end, we will please people who have their own unique strength to do what they can do, such as Jim is good at making statistic, so we will ask him to help us account the money, and Eugene is good at drawing, so we will ask him to help us design some shirts. Everyone has their own special talents, so we can help them to let other people hear their voice. We are going to use the least nature resources to make the best and most efficient green business model!

It's Business!

The inqury question I want to be able to answer over the year is "Can a business model be not harmful for the enviroments?". I think as the greenhouse effect gets worse and worse, business people should be the first group of people to stand out and resist the global warming. Business men have like the strongest power in the world; most of the richest people are business men. They have the most money, lands, and rights, then why not spend some to help the earth? Have those rich people ever think about how and why the air has been polluted when they are smoking a 50 USD cigar? I think greed for money is one of the human nature. People always want more and more money, and it never satisfies themself. As people gain money, they forgot about other things which revolve around them, such as enviroments and ethics. So, I want to build a business model that does not harm the enviroments, and still be ethical. I am going to plant trees or small plants depends how much carbon dioxide I made while runing a business. If my model really runs, I will donate all the profits that I make to the World Vision Organization, save some people who are suffering.

Silicon Lambs Blog

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!!

Cat's Cradle- THE END!!! ya~~

We finally finished the book of Cat's Cradle today. The ending was like every one dies but the narrator and his fellow; and this is how the narrator keeps writing the book. I personally do not really like the ending of the book, because there are already lots of story which ending up with everyone dies, which is very ridiculous. It is like the ending of Romeo and Juliet; they both die. I would like the story to start with sad, and then end up with happy. I love happy endings!!

Cellphone Policy

Yes, I think cellphone should basically be banned in the school. But, in some special uses should not be banned, for examples, taking pictures, listening to music, recording messages( sound and video). Sending texts and talking on cellphone during class should definitely being banned, unless, is an emergency that you must to call your parents to come to school, such as being sick, forgetting to bring essential documents( passwords, and ID cards.) I think one way to avoid cellphones were abused in school is to confiscate the cellphones once the teachers find out students are using in a improper way.
