Yilan County is holding its fifth annual Green International Film Festival. The festival's website names some of the movies and documentaries being shown this year, such as Half Life: A Journey to Chenobyl and Texas Gold. In previous years the festival has included the works of Japanese director Tsuchimoto Noriaki.
According to this report, alongside the festival there is an exhibition of organic agricultural produce and eco-friendly products such as organic radical batteries (ORBs) and energy-saving electrical appliances. ORBs could be a very good thing for Taiwan; the battery-recycling rate here has improved but remains dismal, despite incentive programs.

Any idea how Taiwan's battery recycling rate stacks up globally? For example, I have NEVER seen any recycling receptacles or programs in the USA (people there just trash batteries).
I wonder how we foreigners in Taiwan could effectively lobby for sound policies like the battery deposit.
I'm amazed how many people (foreigners and locals) don't know that 7-11 and Family Mart take batteries for recycling. Those stores could make the bins more obvious.
Indeed. The convenience stores game the system by shoving the bins under the counter ledge in the front. Have to dig for it.
