After work, Dao-Ting signed up for diving lessons, where she saw a large amount of trash in the ocean. In addition to the bottles, food containers, and plastic bags, she saw many covid-19 test kits, and disposable masks due to the ongoing pandemic, as well as various Korean boy\/girl bands merchandise. <\/p>\n\n
It was then when Dao-Ting realised the truth: \u201cThe trash found in the ocean is closely related to human activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
A few years later, Dao-Ting moved to Taipei for work and actively engaged as a Greenpeace volunteer to advocate for the Ocean Conservation Act. As someone who is usually soft-spoken, Dao-Ting never imagined that one day she would be standing on the \u201cOcean Conservation Act Chariot\u201d, talking out of a speakerphone. However, with her determination to protect the ocean, she continued to muster the courage to speak out. <\/p>\n\n During the four months of joining the Greenpeace volunteer group, Dao-Ting understood that environmental advocacy must be done hand-in-hand with the government and community engagement. Dao-Ting learned many communication techniques during her calls to the legislator’s office to lobby for the Ocean Conservation Act that allowed her to articulate her thoughts and stance more clearly.<\/p>\n\n Today, Dao-Ting continues to stay active on her social media platforms to share information about the Ocean Conservation Act in an attempt to inspire her friends to take action, but often feels discouraged from their lack of response. <\/p>\n\n In Dao-Ting\u2019s view, people love going to the ocean because of its healing power. \u201cEveryone says they love the ocean, but where are you when the ocean needs you?” Dao-Ting sadly points out.<\/p>\n\n Dao-Ting still remembers the fish trapped in the net, unable to move. She can\u2019t bear to think of all the other ocean creatures that have silently died due to human activities. These sad endings are what drive Dao-Ting to act. Despite the cold shoulders and discouraging words received during her volunteer work, she continues the fight to protect and speak out for the ocean.<\/p>\n\n The ocean can\u2019t talk, and the ocean creatures cannot ask for help, but we can still choose to hear their cries and work to protect them just like Dao-Ting.<\/p>\n\n If you also hear the silent cries of the environment, feel weary about the future of our planet, or would like to learn more about the environment and take action, Greenpeace sincerely invites you to join our volunteer group<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2024\/01\/9020b2df-\u9053\u5ead_\u6d77\u4fdd\u6cd5\u6230\u8eca-min-768x1024.jpg\" "\\"A")
