In our Global Ethics class, we read an article about Science Park in Hsinchu Taiwan. Yay ! That’s our city we live right now.
As we know, Taiwan's IT (Information Technology) improved a lot last past year and it become Taiwan's most successful products, such as Computer chips, PDP, and LCD etc.
Do you know how to make those products?
PDP and LCD is relate with semiconductor, which I want to work for my future. My dad working on Semiconductor Company and I often get a idea of semiconductor. LCD and PDP made by glass. They’re easy to break. When people making these products, they have to mix different kinds of chemicals with different pump line. That's why big company's like Samsung, LG, Hynix, TSMC, AUO, Chimei etc has different section of their factory. When they are making products, they are using tons of different kinds of toxic chemicals.
Those products are really great tools for our life now. Without any technical products, our life will have some problems. But, have you ever think about any bad situations?
Factories are actually hurting our environments right now.
For example, as I said before, for making glass, they need tons of different chemicals and a lot of wastes are also coming out too. Some factories has great systems of cleaning their waste but, some factories not.
These chemicals are different than what we usually know. In order to cleaning waste, they must have a good waste machine. If not, it's cause of water pollution. Humans can't live without fresh waters, but, if waters are polluting by chemicals, there is no answer for live. So, the country who has week law of it, they should organize law of waste chemicals.
Just like what these article said, we have huge problems about those of silicon lambs. We have to think about those issues before we start making new products. Otherwise, we are going to lose or hurt more nature and real environment.

I think one way the government can help with building environmental friendly factories is spend more money to build or buy cleaning systems for every company in the Science Park. I don't know if the government make them sign environmental contract. If not, the government should start doing it.
I like the question you raised when you commented on my blog. I think China has less strict regulations and cheaper prices for labors and other products, therefore, many companies want to move there. What do you think?
I think many people are creating pollution without realizing that they are creating pollution, so I think the factory workers and employees need to be educated and aware of these kind of issues!
Since you want to work in the business field, maybe in the future, you can go make a difference in the company!
