Environmental groups call for citizen action
Environmental groups have been rallying in Taichung calling for greater citizen involvement in green initiatives.
The rally in front of Taichung City Hall was organized by groups including Air Clean Taiwan and the Changhua Medical Alliance for Public Affairs.
According to Air Clean Taiwan, the passing of environmental impact evaluations of two planned non green energy facilities in the last 40 days are examples of the need for more citizen involvement.
Air Clean Taiwan says the conversion of a Taipower coal power station into a gas-fired plant and C-P-C's plans for a liquid natural gas receiving terminal project in Kaohsiung should not have passed their environmental impact evaluations.
And the environmental group says the cost of the government's decision to greenlight the plans will be reflected in the lives of residents in the central and southern parts of Taiwan.
