‘Oppose Formosa Plastics All Over’, Protect Taiwan Forever’ activity

On the 20th of April, people from 6 counties in Taiwan came out together to take part in the ‘Oppose Formosa Plastics All Over’, Protect Taiwan Forever’ activity. At a predetermined time, protestors began activities in a wide number of locations including, Changhua Railway Station, Taichung’s National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Hsinchu Railway Station, Office of the President, Kaohsiung City Council, National Cheng Kung University etc. In the Taipei activity, the National Youth Alliance Against KuoKuang Petrochemical Project came out to appeal to the people for unity in opposing KuoKuang Petrochemical Corporation making fake daily newspapers.

Their protest march began at a Taipei guesthouse and concluded at Taipei City’s Zhongshan MRT Station, where they started to spread the handmade fake newspapers, such as Fake China Times, Fake Apple Daily or Fake United Daily News, and mimicking the internet platform to add “Like” button by fingerprints to connect with the crowd. The Hsinchu activity was held at the plaza in front of the railway station, with an ‘Oppose The Formosa Plastics' Petrochemical Corporation’ evening party. Each and every activity brought together many people and students with sincere concern about environmental and ecological protection issues – making each activity unique and well worth remembering. Formosa Plastics' Petrochemical Corporation’s EIA is currently underway.
