Farmland should be used for agriculture

Farmland should be used for agriculture, but this is not the case in Taiwan.

According to law, the farmland factories built after 5/20/2016 should be demolished. This must be done, and there should be no room for accommodation.  Those farmland factories are not qualified to exist even for the ones built before 5/20/2016. The original purpose of farmland is farming, and even the construction of farmhouses is restricted. How could we tolerate the entire farmland being destroyed and turned into a factory?

農地就應該農用,但是在臺灣卻不是這樣。

5/20/2016以後興建的農地工廠應該要被拆除,這是一定要做的,不應該有什麼可通融的地方。甚至5/20/2016之前蓋的農地工廠,也沒有資格存在,好好的農地,本來地目就是農地,連要蓋農舍都受到限制,憑什麼可以將整片農地毀掉變成工廠。

根據我們的島(8/22/2022)的報導,理論上:"根據立法院新修訂的工廠管理辦法,5/20/2016 以後興建的農地工廠,依法必須拆除,無法申請納管"

政府管理農地工廠,在修正工廠管理輔導法後,要求農地違章工廠必須在2022年3月19日最後納管期限前,申請納管並轉型成合法工廠。不過根據經濟部中部辦公室統計,違法的農地工廠有4萬多家,最後只有2萬多家申請納管,逾萬家工廠未完成登記…

James Lovelock and his Gaia hypothesis

Gaia hypothesis is a hypothesis that every environmentalist has known and remembered in our heart.  Below are the remarks about James Lovelock by the Nature and The Guardian Science Weekly.

-------
James E. Lovelock (1919–2022) 
Inventor who introduced the Gaia hypothesis to environmental science.

James Lovelock and the legacy of his Gaia hypothesis – podcast
The following description is from The Guardian Science Weekly:
James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, died last Tuesday (7/26/2022) on his 103rd birthday. Known as something of a maverick, the scientist and inventor was one of the most influential thinkers of the past century. Our global environment editor, Jonathan Watts, tells Madeleine Finlay about spending time with Lovelock for his forthcoming biography, the impact of the scientist’s ideas and inventions on the modern world, and how his immense influence will continue to be felt in the critical decades ahead

The taste of freedom

生命誠可貴,愛情價更高,若為自由故,兩者皆可拋

嚐過自由滋味的人,是不可能輕言放棄的。

Szabadság, szerelem!
E kettő kell nekem.
Szerelmemért föláldozom

Smelly highrise building

昨天回到家,習慣性地開窗,陽台的窗會加上抽風扇將熱氣快一點抽出去,房間的窗戶是讓室外空氣流入。

開了不到半小時,從房間窗戶飄進來討厭的濃厚油煙味,只好關掉房間的窗戶。這時候油煙味還是會從廚房的抽油煙機飄進來,想說要將陽台的抽風機反向將室外空氣抽入,結果又聞到煙味。

被迫將兩邊的窗戶都關上,只好打開冷氣,不然就會很熱。這種情況幾乎是每天都發生,不是只有昨天晚上才會這樣。我們想要省電及過著對環境友善的生活,但實際上卻無法做到啊。

When I came back to my home on the top floor of the highrise building after work last night, I open the window as usual. The balcony window will be equipped with an exhaust fan to draw out the hot air faster, and the room window will let the outdoor air flow in.

After opening for less than half an hour, the nasty smell of oily smoke came in from the window of the room, so I had to close the window of the room. At this time, the smell of cooking fumes will still float in from the cooker hood in the kitchen. I want to say that the exhaust fan on the balcony should be reversed to draw the outdoor air in, but the smell of smoke will be smelled again.

We are forced to close the windows on both sides, I had to turn on the air conditioner, otherwise, it would be very hot.  It has happened almost everyday, not just last night.  I want to save energy and live environmentally friendly, but the reality makes me unable to do so.
