According to Tunghai President Mao-Jiun Wang, 80% of the Tunghai campus is covered by greens and trees. It not only beautified the campus and enriched the ecosystem, but also cultivated a strong sense of humanities and enlightened attention to environmental sustainability. Tunghai maintains the tradition of planting trees every year in order to for the campus to serve as the green lung of the city. On campus, there are also various carbon reduction devices that monitor energy consumption in all areas. The promotion of campus electric buses is one example. Tunghai has been doing its best to reduce carbon usage and emission, while aiming to drive its over 20,000 faculty members and students to a deeper understanding and practice of environmental protection.
