Taiwanese superstar, Amei will be joining the effort to raise awareness and appreciation for the natural environment on Earth Day, which is coming up this Friday, on April 22nd.

The day will mark its 41st anniversary, and with more than 175 countries participating in this global event, the public is encouraged to incorporate eco-friendly habits into their daily lives to help save the planet.

The tropical plant is put into the transparent, plastic ball, a gesture to mark the beginning of the series of events for this year's Earth Day, which falls on April 22nd.

The company, which is dedicated to building its environmentally friendly image, invites diva Amei to design an environmental bag, hoping to send the message of environmental protection through Amei's high popularity.

Asked to comment on the latest dispute of Kuokuang Petrochemical Plant development plan, the pop singer says she has never heard of the issue and only hopes the public would care more about the environment.

Environmental protection advocates also believe the energy-saving habits, such as turning off lights and bringing one's own chopsticks are indeed important, but the government's policies are the key to the country's successful execution in environmental conservation.

They believe Taiwanese citizens are somewhat indifferent in such aspect.

Environmental advocates believe that using pop idol as spokesperson for such cause can at least attract fans who are not aware of these issues.

However, it would require the public's collective effort to supervise the government in introducing more green policies to prevent the environment from being damaged.
