What is a productive way to enjoy summer break? Well, Taiwan's Ministry of Education has come up with one solution: by organizing a summer retreat, led by college students, for underprivileged students, to help promote the concept of recycling. For a short time, the students of Wu Jie Primary school became inventors of eco-friendly products.

These students are racking their brains to come up with an original design. Utilizing old Tetra-Paks, an envelope is fashioned. The children, here at the Wu Jie Primary School, are making environmental Father's Day cards, and learning to value everything for all its worth.
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Li Ziyang:"My dad has always been there for us. I must show him my gratitude."
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Rui Qi:"This is good because it's biodegradable and saves money."

Not a single recyclable is wasted. One child made a picture frame from an unwanted cardboard box. Another student turned a discarded milk carton into a hand-held lantern. A paper windmill was created, too.
< Another great way to promote recycling >
Environmentally-themed games also help the children become more acquainted with conservation methods.
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Lin Xiangzhu:"We need to work together to succeed. Yes, it's lots of fun to play with and eco-friendly."
< Ensuring the concept of recycling takes root >
At a government-sponsored summer camp, 26 big brothers and sisters from Mingxin University of Science and Technology are familiarizing the students with the 3R's: "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle".
Mingxin Univ. Sci. and Tech. student, Lin Xueyong:"There are fewer and fewer natural resources in the world, and the global climate keeps fluctuating. So the children need to understand the importance of recycling and conservation."

For the students, this summer will be a memorable one, because they have become experts on preserving the planet.
要如何過個充實的暑假呢？台灣的教育部就想到了一個好辦法， 為偏遠地區的學生舉辦夏令營，推廣環保概念，在短短的時間裡， 五結國小的學生用回收物做出環保產品。
這些學生們絞盡腦汁，發揮創意，利用使用過的鋁箔包變成了信封袋，五結國小的學生在做環保卡片的同時，他們也學到了要愛物惜命。
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Li Ziyang：「爸爸那麼久一直照顧我，然後我要謝謝爸爸。」
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Rui Qi：「鋁箔包很好，因為比較環保也不用花錢。」
每一樣回收物都有它的用意，其中一位孩子用回收紙箱作成的相框，也有學生則用牛奶盒作成的小提燈，另外更有隨風旋轉的紙杯風車。
這些以環保為主題的遊戲，更幫助孩子們了解如何環保的方式。
Wu Jieguo Primary school student, Lin Xiangzhu：「要團結合作才行成功，很好玩因為作環保。」
在政府贊助的夏令營，明新科技大學二十六位學生教導小朋友們環保觀念，減少垃圾、重複使用、垃圾分類。
Mingxin Univ. Sci. and Tech. student, Lin Xueyong：「現在世界資源愈來愈少，然後世界的氣候都一直變遷，所以很需要讓小朋友有環保的意識，不能浪費資源。」
對這些學生來說，這個暑假將是非常特別的，因為他們已經變成環保專家了。
