7.4.1) Local community outreach for energy efficiency
Provide programmes for local community to learn about importance of energy efficiency and clean energy.

TKU actively assists the local community in understanding the importance of energy efficiency and clean energy. Related actions include:

1. Campus SDGs Environmental Sustainability Workshop: Jointly organized by the school and seven primary schools around Tamsui. After reaching a consensus, action plans concerning three different levels, the government, schools, and individuals were proposed:
● The government should replace thermal power generation with green energy for species protection and hillside maintenance;
● Institutes should implement environmental education and reduce resource consumption;
● Individuals should reduce the use of plastic products, land-based garbage, and various wastes, and take inventory of personal carbon footprints.

2. Community visit to incineration plant: The school's USR project team led the community to visit regional incineration plants to understand the internal operation of the incineration plant, the source and whereabouts of resources, and public hazard prevention and control measures to help people understand the energy consumption during resource disposal and pay attention to the importance of clean energy. 農情食課參觀焚化場

3. Community video dissemination: Promoting the "Environmental Protection Journal" project, using "participatory documentary model" and "narrative communication" concepts, combined with the school's film and television project planning and production courses, to carry out "community video stories" recording the stories of influential people and institutions that have contributed to the development of a sustainable environment in Tamsui areas, including ecological environment, pollution prevention and control, resource recycling, and community environmental protection, and provide a back-end network platform as a collection to construct effective communication methods. 淡水環保志
