PeoPo Your Shoot - Wennei low-carbon community

PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform and Wennei Community teamed up to organize this latest Your Shoot event. Located in Maioli’s Zhunan Township, Wennei Community began to regenerate the local area in 2011, combining sightseeing tours to share the beauty of Wennei with visitors.

Director of Wennei Community Development Association, Liao Meixue (廖美雪), said: “Before investing in the hardware and software, we spent time cultivating a positive attitude in the community and reaching a consensus towards the redevelopment plan. Sometimes volunteers participate in projects and complete them with us together.” Aside from community building, Wennei is also deeply committed to promoting environmental protection and sustainable development. To this end, the community has begun implementing practical things from everyday life, like kitchen recycling and water catchment.

PeoPo公民新聞平台和塭內社區共同舉辦踹拍活動，位於苗栗縣竹南鎮的塭內社區，民國100年時開始著手農村再生，同時結合觀光導覽解說，讓外地遊客也能感受塭內之美。

塭內社區發展協會理事長廖美雪表示，「先要培養居民對社區營造的一個良好心態，後才開始著手硬體、軟體設備的投入。我們在做社區營造前，會和居民溝通，雙方達到共識後，才正式開始投入人力、物力。有時候志工也會參與進來，和我們一起完成。」塭內社區發展之餘也致力推動環境保護，不論是廚房回收以及水撲滿，希望從日常生活做起，讓生態保育能夠永續發展。
