Environmental Education Through Action

The 2025 Carrefour Cultural and Arts Festival kicked off in grand style at the Xinying Sports Complex in Tainan. In support of the event’s core theme, “Net Zero and Sustainability,” the Tzu Chi Foundation deployed its Mobile Environmental Education Vehicle to the venue, promoting circular economy concepts and environmental education—becoming one of the festival’s main highlights.

The education vehicle featured an interactive checkpoint design that engaged the public with topics such as the “5 Rs of Sustainability,” basic recycling knowledge, and the decomposition timeline of waste materials. The exhibit sparked enthusiastic participation and reflection among children and adults alike. Volunteers noted that many parents stopped by because their children were eager to take part, and many were touched by the experience, choosing to stay and learn together about ways to protect the planet
