Creative Recycling and Waste Recycling Repair Station
In an age of material abundance, when goods get damaged, people tend to discard them and buy new ones. Although this is convenient, it also creates a lot of waste. Thankfully, Mr. Xiong Guo-xing in Longtan, Taoyuan, has established Mr. Xiong’s Creative Regeneration and Repair Station, which uses creativity to transform waste products into everyday items and works of art.
Mr. Xiong shares all the items in his repair station with people for free. Using an honor system, he lets people take away the items they want without providing any proof of status; however, each person is limited to one item to ensure resources are shared equally with all those in need. Mr. Xiong believes a lot of environmental protection done by the public is still too unrealistic. He hopes that by integrating environmental protection into everyday life, he can help create new value for old trash. Moreover, his novel honor system has attracted more people to join the green movement, promoting the concept of cherishing material goods and encouraging people to build a better world.

創意再生修惜站 廢物循環再利用
在物質豐裕的年代,如果物品損壞,人們往往會選擇直接丟棄舊物、購買新品,這樣的做法雖然便利,但也製造了許多垃圾。桃園龍潭有位熊國興就成立熊爸創意再生修惜站,運用創意將生活中毀損的廢棄物品,重新改造成生活小物及藝術品。
修惜站內的物品基本上都是無償分享給民眾領取,採用信任制度,民眾不需要特別提出證明即可帶走需要的物品。每樣商品每人限領一次,平均分配資源給有需要的人。熊國興認為現在大眾所做的環保還是太不生活化,希望能透過自身力量將環保融入生活並創造新的價值。用以物易物的模式讓更多人能夠加入分享的行列,推廣愛物惜物的理念,共同為地球盡一份心力。
