This meaningful sustainable feast carried a deeper significance, serving as an occasion to express gratitude to the stakeholders. It provided an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the committee members' views on the "THE GREEN BOOK" project, further consolidating consensus and integrating sustainability concepts into more aspects of life.
▲Photo 2: David Lo, CEO of GoodPoint Exchange (standing), hopes that the ongoing selection of THE GREEN BOOK will inspire more green solutions, sustainable actions, or business models for the future.
During the event, various sustainable selections from the 30 chosen items were ingredients into the dishes, including "oil millet" from the indigenous tribes in Taitung, recreating a unique Taiwanese crop that disappeared for nearly half a century; "grouper and milkfish" from the fish farms in Beimen, Tainan, promoting "On-Site Renewable Energy of Aquaculture" in fishery-solar symbiosis; non-toxic red beans from Donggang, Pingtung, helping save eagles; white rice from Wufeng, Taichung, protecting the black-winged kite through friendly paddy fields; and water reed straws made from reeds grown along the Yuli River in Hualien, biodegradable and eco-friendly. These ingredients were skillfully presented by the chef of #VAN Oriental Modern Teppanyaki, blending delicious flavors with sustainable concepts. We witnessed and honored the creativity and achievements brought by sustainable actions and solutions from all over Taiwan.
