Food wrap with PVC plastic

If you wrap the food with PVC plastic and heat in a microwave, it maybe releases toxins that could lead to cancer.Many people use plastic wrap to protect the fresh of food, but some may be unaware that if the wrap is made of PVC, it will release dangerous toxins when put in a microwave. Since PVC contains chlorine-based materials that cause dioxin concerns, we need to reduce the source of PVC materials entering garbage incinerators. When PVC comes into contact with food, it creates toxins that are released. Health is very important so that there are non-toxic alternatives that can be used to protect food in the same way such as PE and PMP, will not be banned in the future because plasticizers have not been added.

Taiwan’s invention

Taiwan is the big winner at major inventions fair in Germany. There were so many Taiwanese companies, schools and technical institutes at the invention show. I think the reason is that Taiwan might need to depend on creativity to create another economic miracle in the future. The inventions including automatic car parking, self-cleaning glass, a foldable energy-saving lamp and a hair dryer that can also act as a vacuum cleaner and lifesaving swimming trunks. It is worth to mention is National United University professor, Chang Kun-Sen took eight years to develop the idea that won a god medal and an environment protection. It is technology for removing heavy metals from the fumes and dust discharged by garbage incinerators. Taiwanese creativity was on show for the world to see.

Housing Subsidy

Our government is expanding its housing subsidy plan for newlyweds. Twenty thousand families can apply for a housing loan with zero interest for two years. But some couples worry that after the two years, they can’t afford the loan. Young couples choose their house, hope to settle down and get married. But many of them are concerned with the financial problem that comes with starting a new family.

Government plans to provide subsidies for low middle-income families to rent or purchase a home. Now it plans on increasing the quota. Originally the quota is 10,000, now it increase to 20,000.The benefits include a NT$3,600 monthly rent subsidy and a preferential mortgage loan. If young couples choose to buy a home, they can enjoy zero interest for the first two years on loans up to NT$2 million. It is good news for newlyweds and a two-year subsidy is pretty decent considering the common rate these days. If qualification is too strict, it’s impossible to get approved.

Disqualified taekwondo athlete

Taekwondo Federation accusing Yang Shu-chun of cheat by adding two extra illegal sensors to her heels and disqualified for the match. Our government’s official already asked the delegation that they have to maintain our country’s dignity and continue to ask the organizers to find out the truth and maintain our athlete’s rights.

No one can accept the result they said Yang Shu-chun was wearing the sensors during the match,and pictures published in Friday’s United Daily News back their claim. Moreover, they want to know why the head of the World Taekwondo Federation has put forward and retracted different reasons for the disqualification. It is extremely unfair to our athletes, so our government will provide full support to the Sports Affairs Council in its efforts to help our athlete. The taekwondo controversy has put to rest any doubts about the strength of Taiwanese nationalism. A local taekwondo association has pledged to sponsor Yang if she wants to continue in the sport, and some people are even calling for a boycott of Korean products.

We definitely need to protect our country’s dignity. We have to ensure that our athletes enjoy their legally protected right to be treated fairly. If the organizers kick someone out unfairly, if they fail to show the same spirit displayed by the athletes, then of course we will argue strongly for what is right.
